For a long trip like this, I'm curious how they actually fund it — local jobs along the way, sponsors, that kind of thing.
It tends to get told as a heartwarming story, but the behind-the-scenes struggle — funding, visas — must've been considerable too.
How did they actually get from Colombia to China route-wise — did they use a ship?
I think the standard route is combining overland travel with sea shipping to cross continents — for the details I'd want to check the rider's own blog.
Seven years — I wonder just how many countries they covered, curious about the record along the way.
Crossing border after border on a single bike — just the maintenance and parts sourcing alone must've been a serious struggle.
Seven years touring the world to reach China — the scale of that goes way beyond your typical motorcycle trip.
Stories about long-haul round-the-world riders like this always give me a jolt of inspiration every time I read one.
