It all began with a Christmas present, a book about 1 mans attempt to cycle around the world. Little did we know that 1 book would have such an impact. That book was Moods of Future Joys, by Alastair Humphreys. And after finishing it, we both thought - that sounds like fun!
We´re Ben and Manon, a twenty something French/Australian couple who cycled the ancient silk trading routes. We met when Manon ran away from family and friends to spend 1 year "studying" on the sunny beaches of Sydney. After managing to convince Ben to leave his beloved Bondi for Paris, we've jumped back and forth between the 2, and the rest is history...
We travelled by bicycle because we believe in the beauty of simplicity, and we love its power to inspire curiosity.
