It all started with an idea.
In early 2018, I hopped on a motorcycle for the first time, and that's when I knew that I wanted to go on a round the world motorcycle trip. For three years, I saved money, worked hard, and meticulously planned a rough route on a map. But there were moments when it seemed like it would just be a dream, something to look back on when I'm older and wonder what could have been.
I've dedicated so much time and effort into making this dream a reality, and now the time has finally come. I quit my job, gave away all my possessions, and on September 1st, 2021, I became a motorcycle nomad. Follow me on Instagram and subscribe to my YouTube channel to join me on this adventure.
