In my late twenties, I decided that I wanted to see the world, but I didn't want to make it too easy, so I decided to do it on a bike. I had taken up cycling seriously a few years prior.

In 1989-90, I cycled around the world, where I visited 5 continents, 22 countries, and logged 22,000 km, I thought that would take the travel bug out of me -- not a chance. I have been cycling in different parts of the world nearly every year since.

The one thing has been consistent with my trips has been the developing world. The colour, hospitality, food, and culture (in no particular order) are second to none. For cyclists, there is also the added benefit of so much life on the roads to keep the day's ride that much more enjoyable.
