This is a Google photos album with all my photos in chronological order. IContinue reading “South America Part 2”

It has been nearly two months since my departure from Europe. I’ve returned to my side of the ocean, back to the Americas. Being in South America, I feel a lot closer to home, upon looking at a map though, I realized I’m still just as far away from home as I have been. InContinue reading “Sudamerica PT1”

My immigration officer even followed me on Instagram. My taxi dropped me off at the Airbnb at 11 where I met KailiContinue reading “Nepal Pt. 1”

I flew fromContinue reading “March 10 – March 31”

The second leg of the train trip from Chiang Mai to Bangkok to Surat Thani was interesting to say the least.

I put my bike into the cargo car atContinue reading “Feb 16 – March 09”

My last post ended with my reflection of the Buddhist Monestary in the Mae Hong Son region of Northern Thailand. I wrote that reflection as I was driving in an old Toyota Corolla through the jungle with the Thai guide and 4 Israeli girls who I had signed up for a jungle trek with. IContinue reading “Jan 27 – Feb 15”

Dec 12-Jan 4 (Christmas & New Years) The last time I wrote here I had spent two weeks riding and not meeting anybody, not seeing any other tourists and especially no cycle tourists.
