Inspiration is living, breathing, walking, running, riding out there. Enjoy your next adventure. Explore!

Immerse yourself in culture in new terrain, topography and endurance and try something brand new. I left Canada in 1996. These photos are a sample of bicycle expedition touring in western China in 2011. More adventures are opportunities not to be missed. So Explore!

I enjoy solo cycling most of the years in South Korea, then when I launch expeditions, I give myself enough time to enjoy cycling with new friends, take on new adventures, acquire new languages, while immersed in culture. Traveling through new terrain, topography using endurance. When I am home now in Korea, I actually enjoy long walks...quiet, simple, no equipment except shoes and warm clothes. I never cycle for 10 weeks before these expeditions, another fact, I walked many kilometers. 
Explore and experience the world in front of you. 

Exploring takes some planning, budgeting, deadlines, then it's your postcard to a whole new adventure. (: 

My blog is a source of my own and many others adventures through links, enjoy!
