Hi everyone, I spent 11 out of the last 12 months living on my bike, cycling across Asia, and wanted to share some of my favourite photos I took.
The first few months I was still on a more traditional touring setup in the Middle East, before switching to a more off-road capable Surly Ogre to tackle the trails that would await me in Central Asia and Mongolia. I live quite frugally, probably spending 90% of the nights in my tent.
Here are the countries I’ve cycled in this year:
Oman, UAE, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, China (3 times: Xinjiang, Tibetan Plateau & Guangxi), South Korea, Japan & Vietnam.
In 2025 I’m planning to spend around 6 months in the Himalayas and Karakoram, both bikepacking and hiking. You can follow along on my IG if you’d like
Peace ✌️
