💥 New Video ‘Inside Cambodia’: Full episode link in Bio!

Rolling around Cambodia's backroads gives us an inside look at rural life. The beauty and also the harsh reality of landmines and bombs from former conflicts heighten our senses to our surroundings. Loud music wakes us earlier than we bargained for and an encounter with a local “policeman” makes for a stressful start of a cycling day. After entering the Cardamom Mountains the weather turns for the worse and we get caught inside a lightning storm…

After months of cycling through the mountains of Southeast Asia we finally arrive at the Pacific Ocean. Along the way we meet local farmers, busy with planting their rice and get a glimpse of how the land was worked in the old days. A local market turns into a lovely hustle and bustle escape from cycling and we learn how to blend in and have fun with the people... and then we hear the news that would have drastic consequences for the rest of our trip!

Besides an incredibly complex and layered culture

Besides an incredibly complex and layered culture Japan offers great opportunities for wilderness experiences. With around 73% of the land being mountainous there is still a lot of natural habitat to explore. We loved hiking above the village of Hakuba. A very demanding stretch as we soon would find out. This day turned out to be one of the toughest in our 2 year journey. You can see our struggles in the video here: https://youtu.be/5jEfNhM-wDg

The temples of Japan are amongst the most spectacular in the world. From small to huge complexes, most of them build with intricate detail and incredible craftsmanship. Narita-san Shinshō-ji, a Shingon Buddhist temple, was the first one we visited and one of the more impressive. Just like walking in a fairytale or being on a movie set. If you happen to be there very early you have the place almost to yourself…

Dense forests are incredible to cycle through. The sense of inclosure is mysterious. In Japan there could be bears and macaques in some parts. Seeing wild animals is one of the highlights of cycle touring for us, although an encounter with a bear would be scary to say the least. Did you ever come across a dangerous animal during your travels and what did you do? 💥 New Video ‘Japan by Bike’: Full episode link in Bio!

After our Shimanami Kaido Adventure we ride towards Hiroshima with our friend Andi. The route we take turns out to be a surprise dead end. We find a way through but it takes a lot of effort to get to the other side… and there we unexpectedly stumble upon paradise!

Disappearing into the mist on the most brutal hike

Disappearing into the mist on the most brutal hike we can remember. A 15 hour scramble over very steep and at times difficult terrain proved to much. We missed the last gondola so a hike down in the darkness back to the village was our only option. At that time Maudi’s knee muscles had given in on her and she had to walk backwards holding my hands. In this link you can see what happend: http://youtu.be/5jEfNhM-wDg

Cruising along a detour through a beautiful mounta

Cruising along a detour through a beautiful mountain forest. In Japan they are always building something and in this case we had to change direction because of a new dam they were constructing. Sudden changes can lead to wonderful discoveries 👌🏼 Latest Video ‘Best Tour in Japan: Shimanami Kaido’: Full episode link in Bio!
