What’s it like to cycle all the way from England to India? What’s it like to ride your bike on an unknown track across the Pamirs? Well as a 19 year old, Jude Kriwald decided to do just that, embarking on a solo bike tour from his home in England all the way to India. I recently had the pleaure of interviewing Jude for episode 70 of Seek Travel Ride and had him share his story and experiences from that journey.
Jude's route took him across Europe, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and then onwards into Central Asia, traversing the Pamir Highway – which he would have to navigate during the middle of winter! He then spent 30 days in Tibet – all without a visa – which meant he had to sneak through police checkpoints so as not to be deported. His stories from this journey made for compelling listening and it's pretty clear that Jude is someone who thrives on seeking out adventure.
You can hear the full interview with Jude – available now on Seek Travel Ride – on all pod players or directly via https://www.seektravelride.com/podcast-ep-70/ Jude also shared the following images from his adventure with me as well which really tell a story better than words can.
