Bikepackingstories

Around the world on two wheels

Welcome to the bike blog...

...a blog about long distance cycling and adventuring. We are currently biking the world and will be taking pictures, writing posts, sharing experiences and saving waypoints along the way.

You can see our latest waypoints here, or read posts from our journey. You can also check out a map that tracks our journey. The aim of this site is to serve both as a journal for our trip and to keep friends and family posted, as well as a guide and inspiration for others to do the same – even if it can be quite the step to take.
