Get ready to be inspired as renowned explorer Ash Bhardwaj takes the stage at the Huddersfield Literature Festival on Sunday, April 21st at 3 pm. His event will be held at the Big Red Suite in the John Smith’s Stadium.

Join Bhardwaj as he shares thrilling tales from his extensive travels, including expeditions alongside legendary explorer Levison Wood (“Walking the Nile,” “Walking the Himalayas”). He’ll delve into the inspiration behind his new book, “Why We Travel,” which explores the profound human motivations that drive our desires to explore the world.

“Ash brings fun, excitement and intellect to the world of adventure journalism. His storytelling is a joy to behold,” praises Levison Wood.

In “Why We Travel,” Bhardwaj shares personal experiences from diverse destinations like Uganda and Ukraine. He draws on insights from philosophers, athletes, and scientists to uncover the profound benefits of venturing out – from epic expeditions to adventures closer to home.

This deeply personal book reflects on Bhardwaj’s Indian heritage, his struggles with grief and identity, and how travel offers a path to healing and self-discovery. It’s a call to embrace wonder, and serendipity, and forge meaningful connections with the world around us.
