About the author

Glenn Valentin has been a competitive triathlete and a journalist for the local newspaper in his late teens and early twenties. In 2017 he went on a 3-month bicycle trip in Morocco, Italy and Slovenia. It was the beginning of a gradual shift from sports to adventure.

Currently, Glenn is mostly trailrunning, climbing mountains and bikepacking. He has finished 3th in the Bearman XTreme Triathlon, climbed the Col du Tourmalet on a spacehopper, hiked the Pyrenees from coast to coast and is currently preparing himself for the first adventure that really scares the crap out of him: Stand Up Paddling 5000 km across Europe.

Update #4 - Higher Love May 19, 2021

Hi everyone!


I just finished this book from one of the most inspiring adventurers in 'We Could Be Heroes', Kit Deslauriers.

Kit is a ski-mountaineer, mother of two and a superkind human being. She's a freeride ski world champion, the first person to ski down the Seven Summits, trainingpartner of Jimmy Chin and the former owner of a wolf!

This book is a super humble, honest, vulnerable, authentic description of Kit's amazing adventures and life stories, I absolutely recommend reading it!

I myself focused my attention for the last 6 weeks on finishing the writing of a book about the relationship between Covid-susceptibility and (un)healthy lifestyle. This book will be self-published early July.  I keep you posted about it. 

When it comes to 'We Could Be Heroes', I'm aiming for a publication date in May 2022 because I have a personal adventure in mind which I want to synchronize with the book launch. (Yep, I learn to understand marketing ;) )


Take care, spread love!

Glenn
