π΄ββοΈ You’re not alone, my name is Arie β AKA Safari Arie
Let me guide and advise you through the uncertainty of these questions and more.
From November 2019 to November 2021, I rode over 26,000 km (16,156 miles) on a solo bike tour from Canada to Belize:
βοΈ 12,000+ km across Canada, including 4,900 km through the 2019-20 Canadian winter (coldest night: -24Β°C / -11Β°F). The rest of the Canadian trip was through Covid-19.
βοΈ 8,000 km across the USA during the height of Covid-19.
βοΈ 6,000+ km through Mexico, including 30 brutal days in the 46Β°C / 115Β°F heat of the Baja desert.
Along the way:
βοΈ I was hosted 85 times by generous strangers in 4 countries.
βοΈ I wrote 250+ blog posts about my ride, each averaging 1,000 words.
βοΈ I ran into every imaginable scenario and learned a thing or two about how to deal with all of it.
