#4: Huw Kingston Part 2 — A Man on a Bike, A Message in a Bottle and a Case of Water Setting The World On Fire

Listen in as Huw shares his most eminent projects:  Bites by Bikes designed for these extraordinary times,  Don’t Bag the Environment, and Bundy on Tap —the project that brought the worlds media giants to his little town.  His initiatives made Bundanoon in Southern Australia the first bottled water free town in the world and put it on the map! 
 
If that wasn't enough, then Huw circumnavigates the Mediterranean Sea, traveling 15,000km over 17 countries in 12 months all while risking dangers in active war zones! Huw was traversing these waters with his trusty kayak during the treacherous times of the Syrian crisis, intent on raising money for the not for profit, Save The Children.
You can read more in his book, Mediterranean, where he suddenly found himself in some pretty hot water. How did he get through? Here are his words..."With my natural ability to pull things out of a hat, leaving things to chance and leaving things to kindness, with a little bit of push and shove and drive, got me out of that.” These extraordinary experiences landed Huw a wonderful TedX delivery in Athens that you can listen to here: https://youtu.be/fPth2KOcKRY
 
Each story is filled with jaw dropping inspiration that will change the lens you look through and give you some personal guidance too. My hope through all of this is that you will realize the theme, the common thread through it all; Human kindness is the key but always asks that you also give back. This is where Huw shines and invites you to explore how you can do this in your life too. 
 
Tune in now to Part 2.  
 
One heart, one idea, one spark and the world is set on fire.
