MIDDLE EAST

Here you will find all the moments that we would like to share with you. The good, the bad, the funny, the depressing, the boring, or simply the moments that you need the momentum to get your bike through it.

This destination was decided only middle January 2023 as other travel plans didn’t work out due to various circumstances. This means also, suddenly we have to deal with carnets and other bureaucratic issues. However, we are super excited to dive into a completely different culture – and share this experience with you. Please note, James will be on my side only during the summer period. So brew a chai and sit back to follow us on this adventure.
