Hey all, you might remember me from my first bike tour in Canada or the US leg... After cycling south-east across Turtle Island, i bought a cheap plane ticket on a whim and flew from Miami to Panama City. I didn't really have much plans other than to learn Spanish and perhaps join a crew on a...

Hey everyone, while I haven't had time to make a video about the van build I've been working on for the past few months, I figured I could at least write about it here and share a few photos as I finish it over the next few months. I chose the 2010 Ford Transit connect on a bit of a whim; I...

Last summer I spend 8 days, 26 July through 2 august, cycling to Copenhagen from the city near my home town, Eindhoven. It took me 30 hours and 18 minutes total and 852,12km (529.48mi) Along the way I made friends in Cloppenburg, Germany, who later visited again by a six hour train ride. This...

Thought I’d share a favorite piece of my gear. So part of my cook kit is a used titanium mug $5 and a $10 hardware store immersion water heater... The ability to boil water in a mug ( 10oz?) With a plug in heater is incredible. I use this all the time to save fuel and comes in handy when...

Hey, y'all I'm Nelly. I'm from baltimore north east side born and raised. I love the third world in the first world lifestyle my city offers and it's made me grow quite the fancy for a mobile and free lifestyle. I'm super curious about hopping trains, cooking and playing music at the forefront...

Sean Israel Allday, 31 from Conroe TX AKA FRY AKA ALLDAY (Not missing, found deceased in Aptos CA). Spent the last few years in Santa Cruz where he is known as Fry. We are searching for anyone who knew Sean to share photos and stories. We are trying to make his daughter a scrapbook for...

[this is a work in progress and may take a few days to finish. I'm publishing now because STP currently has no long-term stable draft mode and I don't want to lose more work. So there should be more to read here eventually.] Index of previous posts on this trip. Montecorice is the extra...

I thought a lot of the things on this list were pretty interesting and worth sharing here for anyone interested in traveling in countries outside the USA.

Greetings from near Montecorice, Italy (south of Salerno and Paestum). Here is my current situation: I'm fairly close to some houses so I'm hoping i won't end up needing to move tonight. (I'm close to the coastal road as well, so I'm wearing my Sony WH-1000XM4's to reduce the noise. It's not a...

I bought this 1999 GMC Utilimaster van at auction because the odometer said it only had 43K miles on a V8 diesel engine. On the initial drive, somewhere between Barstow and Reno the odometer stopped working.......I've had no engine trouble, but on occasion it'll blast out some white exhaust. I...

Was hanging out under an overpass in Chinatown Chicago. Shops at Walgreens 316 W. CERMAK. Not heard from since Oct 8th. Was supposed to hop a rail to Oregon. Possible sighting at McDonald's on Cermak & Western. Finger tats read DON'T SLIP.

Crossed into Italy today and right off I liked it better. But backing up a bit helps explain why. In general more people drive and drive faster in France than in Spain (and maybe Italy) in my opinion. And people are especially packed in along the coast in France between Nice and the Italian...

My mom was wondering what happened to me so I may as well write what's up! (First, for those arriving late, I made an index on Google docs to link to all the preceding posts/threads on this particular trip: bit.ly/2021cpl. I did this because links that I can view that show all the threads i...

This is a little story I got about my first bike trip I did back in July. It took me 4 days and 1 night and I went from Düsseldorf to Munich, around 720km (447 miles for you Americans :). I'm not that great at planing trips so I just packed my bike and went for it. I followed the Rhine river...

I seem to have settled into a peaceful existence here so I'm guessing I may not be writing much since I'm just living the life as they say. I find quiet spots in pine forests. Come out when I need food, water, exercise, electricity. And progress towards Sicily as I do so before finding the next...

Even though theoretically i am still on my first bike tour, the fact i had about 5 days break and flew across the border makes this feel like a new chapter. In my previous thread (First tour, heading out of Kamloops) you will find my story of starting out with this form of travel and cycling...
