#65 - Leon McCarron: Nomadic Author Living In Beirut And Trail Designer In Iraq

Leon McCarron is a writer, filmmaker and adventurer from Northern Ireland who has walked across the Gobi Desert, lived in Iraq and now lives in Beirut, Lebanon.

In this conversation, we talk about:


- Why deciding which life you want to live comes down to which regret is easier to live with

- Cycling from New York to Hong Kong at 23 with almost no money and no experience

- Why Western media gets places like Iraq and Syria completely wrong

- Building the Zagros Mountain Trail through Iraq and why a hiking route can change an entire region

- The time Leon met grave robbers searching for buried treasure in Nicaragua
