Welcome to the story of my world trip. I have started cycling from Paris in April 2017 and arrived in Hong Kong in August 2018. The journey has lasted 18’077 km, 16 months and 4 days.
I will keep updating the pictures and lessons learned in 2019. I also plan to release a documentary movie about this sometime soon. Stay tuned =)
