What a way to go! Such a brave and intimate way to see the world and with such a long tour you got to see so much.

Well that's another story! It was difficult to readjust to a 'Western Lifestyle' after all our experiences. But we are all the better for travels. One the main motivations for our adventure was the loss of our daughter. I have produced an eBook outlining our journey.

We planned to follow the old 'hippy' route from the UK to India.From there we need to get to South East Asia. Myanma (Burma) does not allow overland travel through their country - so we flew with bike from Nepal to Thailand. From Malaysia we then shipped the bike to Canada to continue the last leg of our journey to South America.Find out more by 'googeling' merv and ruth.
