gear

Since 2023 I’m traveling the world on a bicycle, on which I carry a hiking backpack, a journal and a camera. My route has taken me from Germany across the Balkans to Turkey & Iraq, via Iran to the Arabian Peninsula, to Central Asia, and via Mongolia, China and South Korea to Japan.

In 2025 I will start cycling westwards again, crossing the Himalayas and Karakoram mountain ranges on the way. On this website you will find trip reports, photographs I’ve taken and lists of the gear I use.

Why travel by bike?

In the past I have backpacked a lot and lived a digital nomad lifestyle, but my favourite place has always been the outdoors. By bike I can seek deeper connections with nature, interact more easily with the locals, and receive more authentic view of a country. On top of that it is among the cheapest ways to travel, especially if you enjoy camping like I do!

How can you afford it?

I worked a lot and saved up a lot before I left, so at the moment I’m living off savings and investments. In the future I hope to monetise my YouTube channel and possibly sell prints or photobooks. 

Can I support you? 

I’m very privileged to be essentially living my dream, so I don’t feel like asking for donations. You can help me grow by sharing my website/socials, or support me financially at no extra cost by using my affiliate links: Learn more
