Hello we are Matt and Jasi. We are cycling from Jasi's hometown in Switzerland to Matt's hometown in Australia. Currently in Laos.
Nepal and India had given us so much, both good and bad. These countries had tested our resilience and nerves to the fullest. We spent countless nights in dirty hotels and ate food that we feared to get sick of almost daily. These moments had made us stronger and we both agree that reflecting on…

My guide suddenly raises his hand, strengthens his grip on his bamboo stick and stops dead still. My heavy feet stumble and my momentum carries me forward into him. He listens intently…
When we first arrived in Mumbai we loved India. We loved the colors, the spices, the mess, the vibrant energetic atmosphere, we loved the food and even the selfie requests. India was such a different experience compared to all the countries we have previously travelled. We dived in head first without holding back and we…
Oh, the surprises we stumbled across during our time In United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman. We expected the wealth, but the incredibly friendly faces, hospitality and how safe we felt amongst these people amazed us. The compilation of video snippets highlights our journey from the wealth of Dubai crossing through dry desert landscapes on…
