4 maanden ago by janneke_op_reis *** NEW STORIES ARE OUT*** About the true experience of riding your bike on african soil. There's no way you can capture that experience with a singe picture on Instagram. Or two... The true African feeling goes beyond the tropical animals you face or the beautiful surroundings you're in... Here in Africa it's no longer just about your bike, as YOU will be the center of attention. In Africa, we are shining bright. Shining bright in a big spotlight. ??? *** NEW STORIES ARE OUT*** 'On African soil - what's it's like to be a farangi on a bike' ***Link
5 maanden ago by janneke_op_reis Ethiopia was by far the MOST challenging country to ride a bicycle. EVER. This stretch though brings a big smile back on my face. Picture this; two foreigners on a bicycle in a super small village in Ethiopia, trying to take a shortcut. After following the smallest track we end up in their little little town. Their eyes were filled with disbelief... this way?? NO WAY! So then they did what they always do in Ethiopia: they joined us. And as I was 'impressed' before about how long they 'accompany' you on heavy dirt-tracks (especially as we have the same
6 maanden ago by janneke_op_reis It's then, when you blink with your eyes, that you suddenly realise: we are in Africa! And it might not be easy, but it is absolutely beautiful. @ covering the stretch of the northern desert of Kenya. With headwind, lots of sand and... camels ? #cyclinglife #kenya #africa #cyclingafrica #bicycletour #bikewander #bikepacking #desert #desertofkenya #camels

6 maanden ago by janneke_op_reis Meanwhile in Ethiopia, when water is no longer a given thing but something extremely valuable. Every big village has its waterpoint and to find it you just have to keep your eyes open for all the people walking with their yellow containers. It's part of their daily life routine here, and so is it for us. #travelbybike #cyclinglife #bicycletrip #cyclinglife #cyclingphotography #bikewander #biketour #biketrip #bicycletour #water #waterspring #wherepeoplemeet #ethiopia #africa #africabybike

7 maanden ago by janneke_op_reis JIEHAAAAAA Luka and Jana go AFRICAAAAA ??? Luka and Janna go Afrika! Here you go, we now show you our plan for the next stretch of our ride. This will be our ‘grand finale’, after completing my big ride home from New Zealand al the way to the Netherlands, with half of those kilometers having Luke by my side. Many kilometers ago a new dream started, it was right after I cycled Myanmar that I though, why not go to Africa? It was the warmth and openness of their culture that reminded me of those good old days in Kenya
7 maanden ago by janneke_op_reis This is what the world looks like after three years riding my bike. Feeling humble and endlessly thankfull that I had the chance to experience it all ? 43.000 km over +40 countries. August 2015 - Juli 2018 ? ? And the best part: it ain't over yet. Soon more! (Link in bio for a close look at my route)
8 maanden ago by janneke_op_reis On the 22nd of juli I cycled that same driveway that I left three years ago. With 43.000 km on my computer, and my one and only companion by my side, I cycled into the arms of my mum and dad, and I was home. Thanks to all the friends and family who joined us for the last miles, I felt as if I just went for 'a little ride' It's good to be back, I love you all ?? New Zealand ?The Netherlands ? Augustus 2015 ?Juli 2018

Let me introduce to you: PART TWO Hugo, who took his bicycle and accompanied me on my ride in Indonesia. How he pushed his boundaries and reached his goal, yes a true hero he is.

11 maanden ago by janneke_op_reis Friends, who say; so you are going to cycle the world, no problem we just book a flight and visit you on your way! The ones who bring back your roots, after being away from home for so long. The ones who make you feel like home in that second they look you in the eyes. It’s all in that first smile. When there is SO much to tell and SO much that happened, but when there are no words needed, as that first smile says it all. Let me introduce to you; Renate who visited me in Georgia, and reminded
12 maanden ago by janneke_op_reis Many days we saw the sun go down. Enjoying the magical colours in the air, we knew we had to push our pedals a bit harder just to make sure that we would make it to the next town and get our registration, right in time.

1 jaar ago by janneke_op_reis For most people it would be completely ridiculous to stop the car and get your camera out when there's nothing really to see. But on a bicycle, you know, this nothing is exactly where it all happens.
