About me
Andy Bartlett: human powered adventurer and public speaker.
In 2015 I left the event production company I founded to take the road less travelled, and I've been travelling under my own steam ever since, paddling, cycling, hiking and running across the UK and beyond.
In 2016 I became the first person to stand up paddle board the length of the Danube, from source to sea. Today, as I continue to discover new adventures, I share those stories at conferences, corporate events, schools and festivals.

From events to adventures
In 2015 I was the founder and director of a successful live event production company. I loved it, but I wanted to find and discover more from the world, so I chose the road less travelled, sold my shares, packed my bags and headed into the unknown.
A year later I became the first person to stand up paddle board the length of the Danube, from Donaueschingen to the Black Sea, almost 3,000 km through 10 countries.
Since then I've strived to find the balance between finding work I love whilst never letting it get in the way of the next adventure
What I believe:
Life is there to be lived, and the more adventure it contains the better.
