22,000km Bicycle Tour From Argentina to Canada: Katja & Martin

In this episode I speak with Katja and Martin who recently completed a 22,000km bicycle tour of the Americas. This journey would see them cycling for 21 months setting off from Argentina, destination Canada.Their adventure from south to north saw them battle with relentless Patagonian headwinds, cycle across amazing landscapes such as the Salar de Uyuni salt desert, tackle the Peru Great Divide trail, and get fully immersed in the Amazon jungle. We spoke at length about what it was like to pack up their panniers to spend almost two years on the road cycling. They also shared their top tips for how to camp in extreme cold temperatures - they experienced night of minus 20C on this trip. They spoke about the highs of being in amazing landscapes, interspersed with the lows of cycling through a village which had been decimated by a landslide.  I found their approach to  making connections and learning about the people and cultures of the countries they were travelling through along the way, very impactful.Links to Katja and Martin's social channels and blogs are:Instagram: -@americasbybike Website: - Americas by Bike Check out the Elkhorn Rack from Old Man Mountain Support the showBuy me a coffee!I’m an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:👉  CycPlus– ePumps (enter code STR for 5% off!)👉 Zorali 👉 Helinox 👉 Ombraz Follow us on Social Media!Instagram - @SeekTravelRideFacebook - Seek Travel RideYouTube - @SeekTravelRideSeek Travel Ride NewsletterLeave me a voicemail message Seek Travel Ride Music Playlist available now on both Spotify or Apple Music
