Check out Rene’s interview on his four year long around the world on a motorcycle adventure. We met Rene in South America when he was still in the “early” stage of his trip, as in about a little over a year in. 😉 He went on to travel for four years, wrote a book with the most awesome title The University of Gravel Roads: Global Lessons from a Four-Year Motorcycle Adventure and started his own guided African motorcycle tour company. His story is awesome and inspiring and he did his trip on a budget of 25 dollars a day, proving you do not need to be rich to do these trips!

Sherrie & Patrick
A Newfoundland Gypsy Princess and a German Engineer rambling on about traveling
We had the pleasure of hosting Rene and his family while they were in northern California last week. A great story indeed and some of the nicest people we’ve met. My wife, myself, and our 11 year old son are departing in the near future for a year long trip to central and south America. Looking forward to reading more about your travels.
I have not met Rene’s family but I would assume they are awesome given how cool of a guy Rene is! I see you’re a fellow Jupiter’s traveller! I will definitely be following your blog. When our daughter is older we hope to start travelling by motorbike again. Until then we are thinking about sailing!
