Inspiration is living, breathing, walking, running, riding out there. Enjoy your next adventure. Explore!


Immerse yourself in culture in new terrain, topography and endurance and try something brand new. I left Canada in 1996. These photos are a sample of bicycle expedition touring in western China in 2011. More adventures are opportunities not to be missed. So Explore!

 "Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself."

"First say to yourself what you would be;
and then do what you have to do."

"Men do less than they ought,
unless they do all they can."

 "If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes."
St. Clement of Alexandra



I enjoy solo cycling most of the years in South Korea, then when I launch expeditions, I give myself enough time to enjoy cycling with new friends, take on new adventures, acquire new languages, while immersed in culture. Traveling through new terrain, topography using endurance. When I am home now in Korea, I actually enjoy long walks...quiet, simple, no equipment except shoes and warm clothes. I never cycle for 10 weeks before these expeditions, another fact, I walked many kilometers. 
Explore and experience the world in front of you. 

Exploring takes some planning, budgeting, deadlines, then it's your postcard to a whole new adventure. (: 


My blog is a source of my own and many others adventures through links, enjoy!
