Whoop whoop! Camping season is in full swing here in the Netherlands. Not that we’ve let little details like that stop us before. In fact, this is the 5th time that Tara has gone camping. But it’s been the first time the temperatures were actually above freezing at night! It didn’t seem to make a…
For some reason everything turns out so wonderfully! I was nervous and excited to be heading up the ice road on the MacKenzie river delta and the Arctic Ocean. The plan was to catch a ride to Tuktoyaktuk and point my wheel south from there. In luck I met a couple of guys headed that…
I’m back! It has been a while but I’ve been very busy gaining cash & kilo’s in Ireland. Those last ones weren’t exactly necessary but it’s one of the side-effects of Guinness. Anyway, they might be of some use keeping me warm… right? I had the time to put together a little video of my previous…
After sticking to roads for about three weeks I had the urge to get out, find a dirt track and see what else there is on Hokkaido. According to my logic there had to be a track where I saw a river and a railway line on my map. I was right. Almost. In most…
The Old Ghan, originally called the Great Northern Railway, is a tale of the triumphs of pioneering Australians in a landscape of extremes. Or so the information sign says. It continued by telling me; The Ghan opened the way into Australia’s remote interior. Unofficially called ‘The Ghan’, it provided isolated residents with a physical and…
Yup, Spring is here! Right now the sun is shining, flowers are blooming,skies are blue and everybody is happy…It was not like that the whole time. Well, obviously the sun never stopped shining. But this spring has still thrown some unpredictable weather at us. We had our fair share of rain and a good few…
I never thought going on a camping-trip would be a big deal. Yet here I am, working 3 days to get ready for just an overnighter. It’s just a little different now. Where I use to be an unorganised mess, now I’m an unorganised mess with a baby. Not blaming the baby! But it does…
At 17 days this baby discovered a hammock is a basic necessity. And at one month she rode with me on a bicycle… At two months she got her own set of wheels! And learned how to take a selfie… At three months she has walked in the forest, visited different cities, Played with new friends,…
I had cycled about 15km on September 20th. At the train station that evening, waiting for Jim to arrive, my water broke. 22 September, at 12.13pm our daughter Tara was born.Of course she is more beautiful than any view I’ve seen so far…We’re looking forward to sharing many more adventures with you! All we need is…
In Loreto I met up with Flavien and his friends from back home. Back home for him is Haida Gwaii, a little piece of paradise where one day I hope to return to as well. His friends came down for a Kayak-trip. And were so kind to let me join in! Ryan here spends his…
Let me introduce you to Flavien,He is from France but lives on Haida Gwaii. Where I spent a few months last year. He happened to be cycling down the Baja California at exactly the same time as I was. So we ended up riding together for two weeks. That was lovely, as apart from a…
Las Vegas is a great place to be leaving. Especially if you happen to be heading towards Death Valley, apparently the driest hottest place in North America. Yeah. Right. Is all I have to say to that. Maybe it was just my luck that at the start of January a big storm came rolling through…
