During the summer of 2020/21 I e-biked around the South Island of New Zealand. You can read about that trip here: An E-bike Lap of the South Island | Wilderlife

During that trip a big idea was borne to bike most of the way from New Zealand to Denmark to see my family. I grew up in Denmark but fell in love with New Zealand 20 years ago, and I call New Zealand home.

At the end of June 2023 I flew from Wellington to Brisbane in Australia to start on this bike journey. The journey took me from Brisbane to Cairns, then to Bali, Java, Sumatra in Indonesia, up through Southeast Asia to China. I flew from Hong Kong to Dubai where my brother met me and we drove across Saudi Arabia and into Jordan. I had to fly again from Jordan to Turkey to avoid cycling through Israel or Syria in February 2024. For the final part of the journey, my lovely childhood friend, Maiken, met me in Athens, Greece and we cycled together up to Denmark, arriving in May 2024.

This blog captured the adventure as it unfolded.
