The Story of B
Adventuring around the world by motorcycle
Being passionate about adventure motorcycling, photography and mountain sports such as alpinism, climbing, snowboarding and skiing, I want to integrate this into my trip.
My goals for this big trip are: never take highways, ride as much as possible off-road, wild camp when possible and rock climb or perform some mountaineering in every country!
