Looking to get into the bike touring world. I've always hitchhiked, but on my last trip especially (Europe to Asia), I came across many roads and locations that I wasn't able to reach because walking or hitching just wouldn't work out. Also, cycling is the most practical way of getting from A to...

So this goes for relationships as well as any other human connection. I never find myself missing someone. Thinking about people on and off yes, but I always find it awkward when people I am pretty close to when i'm more or less around them tells me they miss me. I'm quite truthful back and just...

So last year as I headed from Eastern Europe towards Asia, I spent a couple months in Turkey. The hottest months, naturally (I hate the heat yet I headed almost as South as possible without hitting a war zone... Stupid Steve). I like my military history, and found that there was a dead village...

So i've been back from a 9 month trip between Hungary and Eastern Kyrgyzstan for.... Three weeks, now. Wanted a real family christmas for once (cheesy, but i've come to really appreciate the one time of year where everyone is home).. But besides seeing a couple close friends, I haven't really...

Title says it all, and I'm sure many of you know what I'm asking... Being that a lot of us travel a bit more roughly than others, headphones tend to break pretty easily. Whether that's by the wires being pulled out of connections, or the speakers blowing up/getting water damaged,etc. I'm curious...

So I was supposed to be travelling for only a few months, then head back to canada for tree planting.. That was the beginning of may... Now I am South of Istanbul, and following the coastline towards Syria. The idea is to hitchhike, couch surf, wild camp, and volunteer my way east. There are...

Heading out to Budapest on the 22nd of Feb. Meeting up with old friends, getting some cheap dental work done, then heading South and East where it's not AS chilly. Hopefully getting as far as Georgia before I fly back early May for tree planting. Figured i'd see if anyone else is in that part...

I'm an introvert myself, and absolutely love being alone, especially on the road. I'm not sure about you guys, but you have to like being alone to SOME extent in this way of travel, unless you're attached at the waist with your S.O. or someone equally close... i always watch that world of...

I'm very much new to the bike touring world, just reading lots to get an idea of the things to look forward to. i've hiched a hell of a lot, and one thing that can be a bit of a bitch, when in a populated an area, is what to do with the gear. With a backpack I usually ask a shop/bar/hostel to...

So I love boots. Love 'em to bits. Haven't worn anything but boots for over a decade now ('cept when I take the dog around the block or something). I have so many pairs, but I only wore one for the two years I was hitching around Europe. I decided to make a vid just to show how impressively done...

Hey all, so big news in regards to my travels. I was in heraklion, Greece the other day, sitting in a park and contemplating what to do. Do I go East, and by ferry go to santorini and Rhodes on my way to Turkey? Do I go back to western crete and do some hiking through a gorge or two first? one...

It was in Greece, some time in mid October, when myself and a couple friends I was hitchhiking with headed down to thermopolis (the whole 300 Spartans thing), but we ended up a bit off track in a city called Volos. Nothing special about that place, but we were told we had to go over the...

World gathering is in Hungary, June 27 ish to late July ish.. Forget the exact dates.... The European gathering is soon after, also for a month, in Romania. Curious if anyone is thinking of going? I'll likely be stopping at the world gathering for a little bit as I head back West in...

Hey all, I'm Steve, from Vancouver Canada. I've been travelling on two years come this summer, starting from Scotland and am now here at the lowest point in Europe - Crete. I quit the army after five magical years to do this, and haven't regretted it one bit. It's become my life, and the more I...
