Running To – Not Running Away


ESCAPE TO VICTORY

Jonny Bealby's amazing story of travel, book writing and the events that led to him starting up an adventure travel company, all began with a tragedy.

When Jonny was 26, travelling through Kashmir, his life path took an unsuspected turn when his then soulmate/girlfriend died in his arms. Jonny was knocked sideways. So, while all his friends were getting married and embarking on a more conventional path through life, he was off riding solo on a motorbike through Africa.

His adventures across some of the most amazing and hazardous parts of the globe have inspired many others to travel and through investing energy in his travel company, he's found a calling that has brought both fulfilment and success.


In interviews with Jonny, he talks about his adventures and the inspiration taken from his many travels which inspired him to write books and in turn, how writing led on to making a TV show - things he believed, as a dyslexic, he'd never be good at doing. 


All the time he was moving further away from the path his friends were taking. By crossing continents on his own, often through dangerous parts of the world, everyone believed he was running away. And yet, when he returned to Kashmir, the very place forming the start of his altered path, he realised with his newfound success in the adventure travel industry, that he'd been running towards his calling all this time and not away from it.
