Australia to India on a GSXR – Chapter 1
It’s almost 4 years to the day from when I first set off for my trip of a lifetime; riding my Australian GSXR to India. However, between my last posts on this blog and the time I set off, a lot changed. A professional procrastinator as always, my first write up was in March 2017, […]

Australia to India on a GSXR – A short story
It’s October 2021 as I write this and almost 2 years ago now, I fulfilled a decade-long dream to ride my GSXR from Australia to India. Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything on my blog but in my (poor) defense, it’s been a crazy few years. From the highs of preparing for […]
The luck of breaking down
I often get asked what happens if I break down? The answer; I get excited about the unknown about to head my way. While riding from Holland to Turkey (and back), my brother and I were passing through the small nation of Montenegro. A country that was supposed to be no more than a days […]

Closer inspection of the tower shows a blazing red star shaped window, giving an insight into the purpose of this structure, the Buzludzha Monument. Built in the […]
Riding Mullholland Hwy – ‘The Snake’
Almost since YouTube has been around, a small patch of road in the hills over Malibu, California has been immortalized on the channel of user rnickeymouse . The road gained fame both on and off line just as much for its decreasing radius turn as it did for the amount of riders that went down […]
The Great Dennys Roadtrip
One of my greatest discoveries whilst riding in America would undoubtedly have to be Dennys. Always open Dennys is a chain that seems to be present everywhere a traveler would most need one; that is, along main routes between states, truck stops and everywhere in between. Pancake breakfast with apple pie milkshake I hesitate to […]
Where is home?
Having traveled for 2-3 months every year for the past few years and with an upcoming trip that will be much longer, I often think about the concept of home. When traveling, my ‘home’ has been anywhere from hostels, tents, the streets and on rare occasions, a hotel to recover in. Throughout all of these […]
