Butterflies: The first thing that struck me after entering east Siberia was the number of butterflies one sees. I have never seen so many in one place, and as you ride down the road you just see hundreds of them as they cluster together on the side of the road, it’s quite beautiful to see.

Hi!

Two wheels, six continents, zero regrets. I’ve chased horizons across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and parts of Africa — sometimes on a bike, sometimes on foot with a pack and a bad sense of direction. Welcome to the road!

I created this blog for my friends and family to follow my adventures. I am however no author or influencer, my spelling (British) and grammar are not great so enter at your own risk!
