The mask offsets the spandex right? This dance got interrupted by a guy who pulled up on his motorbike with a 2 year old and started to describe to him what I was doing...? I invited him to dance but he preferred to be a spectator. #wheelsofsteel #cycletouring #spandexdancing #babe #vietnam @outkast

Do you know what makes me happy! Laos has somehow managed to avoid the crazy over the top honking culture that plagues Vietnam's roadways. It's amazing how much more peaceful the roads are when every motorbike and car doesn't use their enhanced horn every five seconds. Sorry Vietnam 🇻🇳. Laos 🇱🇦 has you beat here. #hornfreevietnam #peacefulroads #laosnohonk #noisepollution #peaceandquiet #dancewhenyouarehappy #vietnamlaos #laosdance #ricepaddyhopRead more

Paddling down the Mekong River
October 19, 2017 in Laos ⋅ 🌧 30 °C
Day 1. We became acquaintances with the many whirlpools on the river. The Mekong is like no other river I've been on. There are many times where it seems like the eddies on either side of the river are touching each other. Water is bubbling up all over the place. #mekongriver #chillout #melodramatic #riverpaddling @mec #mekongpaddleRead more

Sometimes tourist attractions aren’t worth the hype, money, or crowds. I was concerned Angkor Wat was going to be one of these places but I have been pleasantly surprised. I have meditated on pyramids and temples all to myself. The jungle is alive here and the bicycling is a shaded paradise. Much respect to the celestial nymph Mera. #pyramidsofcambodia #celestialnymph #angkornomotor #rchange #bicycleangkor #whatwat #plasticfreecambodia #sanskrit #pyramidsoftheworld #closertothesunRead more

Biking through Bangkok
February 2, 2018 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 28 °C
I escaped Bangkok today. It wasn’t an easy one. The 170km started with dodging traffic in morning rush hour and finished with five hours of torrential rain. Before the rain came my feet were already soaked from the worst wrong turn I could have made down a flooded street and back again the same way. Not sure why it was flooded but there was a river of water running down it. My skin is all wrinkled wet and the chafe is present. I’m super happy to find the fresh air and take this mask off though! #exhaustbreath #countrylife #cyclethailand #cyclebangkok #bicyclebkkRead more

🚴🏼‍♂️ 89km - 🚣🏼‍♂️ 2km -🚴🏼‍♂️ 13km. Big thanks to my good friends Tanis and Joel who helped find this boat for me to row to Koh Lanta. It wasn’t the most comfortable setup but it felt great to be rowing on the ocean once again. Finished the day with my first ever 🌅 dip in the Andaman Sea! Great way to start some rest days after ~800 km in 6 days from Bangkok. My butt is ready for relaxation. #oceanrow #huahinferry #nomotor #rowtheferry #cycletouring #rowboats #oarnorthwest @oarnorthwest #kohlantaRead more

I said goodbye to B and dropped her off at her new family’s place. 😭 heartbroken. Thankfully her new family is awesome and have offered to take her to get spayed (when she’s old enough) and also send photo updates. I know one of you wanted to help her get spayed and also someone wanted her to have her own Instagram page. Now is your chance to help. I’m offering up one secret perk with all the contribution going to B’s operation. In return I will gift the generous donor the book, film, and other treats! UPDATE!!! Big thanks to Ford of @thurstonolsen who has stepped up to support the operation . #bthepuppy #bikingwithapuppy #puppylove #bobbarker #haveyourpetsspayedorneutered #secretperkRead more
