This page is to document my adventures as I (Kiwi guy DC) cycle the world for a couple of years.

The plan kicked off in March 2012, and begins by spending the northern summer cycling Europe. This should take 6-7 months, potentially taking in Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Holland, Belgium, France and the UK. In early September 2012 I’ll fly to Japan for a few weeks riding, before heading into China by ferry.

From there it will be another 7-8 months around East and Southeast Asia, arriving in Singapore around June 2013. A cargo ship will then be utilised to get to Perth, Australia where the final, long leg involves cycling >10,000km around Australia before returning to New Zealand!

My bikes name is Indie, short for Indefatigable. I’m hoping that I can be somewhat indefatigable in my approach to this trip! It’s also the name of Horatio Hornblower‘s ship, and Indie was the name of a very awesome Alaskan Malamute dog I once met in Nelson.

All up it should be around a whole heap of riding, and a ridiculous amount of interesting experiences! So follow me as I see the world, follow me on Twitter, or Facebook and keep checking the blog.
