A young German decides to quit his job, hop on his bicycle, and start pedalling around the world. Over 365 days he cycles through 22 countries and has an epic adventure. While he doesn't quite make it to Australia, it's still fascinating to watch for anyone who likes to travel by bike.

 

Sounds pretty fun right? Read and watch more of his travels below, and if you would also like to cycle the world, you can check out UTracks' self guided and small group cycling tours for your own incredible biking experiences.

 

 

 

This is a documentary by Felix Starck from Germany.

 

"What is the meaning of life?".

I asked myself almost every day before I left, so I decided to get to the bottom of it. 

I wanted to explore the world on my own - on a bicycle. 

Untrained, I set off in June 2013 with over 55 kg of luggage and a video camera.

18,000 kilometers and a total of 22 countries with only one goal: the dream of absolute freedom and the discovery of our globe. 

Enjoy with me now a really big adventure - a documentary that’s based on life, not a script. A unique challenge - with nature as a friend and … enemy!

"Emotional, Inspiring, beautiful, realistic. The guy is quite a cutie (& I'm a straight bloke)!
P. S. After reading some of the other reviews: it's not a movie, it's not an in-depth documentary, it is a visual diary of cycling & camping around the world & that is no bad thing. I'm a cyclist who has read many travel books & found this enjoyable & never dull. 🙂"
