30, 000km.

As we cycled into Konya, Central Turkey yesterday we celebrated as we reached another momentus milestone….we had reached 30,000km.

Some 26 countries, 20,000 miles and two years later, I sat down to write a book about how the experience changed me, and what I learned. I hope you’ll enjoy reading.
