On a quest for freedom, one of the best feelings in the world. It started with a bicycle dream from Australia back home, when I got lost in Africa... I have now finished the journey of my dreams and I am busy writing a book about it! :D

Seeing places is good, understanding them is better. I am very eager to learn so I can sometimes ask too many questions or lack discretion, oops!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- At the kyrgyze-Kazakh border crossing, I played saxophone in a duet on the Kazakhe side while my travel friend was playing the trumpet on the kyrgyze side. It went on until a higher ranked officer yelled at us to put an end to it!
- Travelled with a rabbit
- cycled through Saudi Arabia in official whites clothes
- social media detox for 70+ days in China
