It all started when I quit my job in 2009 with the plan to cycle from home to Cape Town. Two years and 25,000km later, I made it. After that, I cycled through Canada, US and Central America. Then I wrote Desert Snow, my first book, about the ride through Africa. That of course did not earn me money, so I worked a real job too. Now I'm travelling through Asia - still with the bike. Maybe I will ride a horse somewhere too.
