ABOUT US

We fell in love with traveling on a bicycle in 2012 when JP left for his first cycling trip. We then cycled Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kirgizstan) and the Balkans countries (from Turkey to Croatia) in West Europe in 2013, then from Uganda to Cape Town in 2014-15, in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia in 2015-16, and in Central Africa (DRC, Congo, Gabon, Cameroun, CAR) in 2016-17. We had traveled by public transport before all over Europe, North America and Asia as well, but really, cycling is the perfect way for us to travel. Our next adventure will take place in Portugal in the fall of 2017, and in Morocco in the winter of 2018. We are really excited about those new adventures and looking forward for a new - and deeply epic - adventure :)

SUR NOUS

Nous sommes tombés amoureux du voyage à vélo en 2012 lorsque JP s'est lancé dans sa première aventure en Amérique du Sud. Nous avons ensuite fait notre premier voyage ensemble sur deux roues en 2013 sur la route de la soie (Ouzbékistan, Tadjikistan, Rép. Kirgize) et en Europe de l'Est (de Turquie à la Croatie). Ensuite, nous avons cyclé de l'Ouganda vers l'Afrique du Sud en 2014-15, à l'hiver 2015-16, nous avons cyclé en Amérique Centrale et du Sud, et en 2016-17, en Afrique Centrale (RDC, Congo, Gabon, Cameroun, RCA). Nous avions précédemment voyagé en transport public un peu partout en Europe, Asie et Amérique du Nord, mais vraiment, le vélo, c'est parfait pour nous. Nous planifions notre prochaine aventure au Portugal pour l'automne 2017 et au Maroc à l'hiver 2018 et sommes très excités de découvrir ces coins du globe !
