Riding Into the Unknown A 3-Year Journey

Would you leave everything behind to cycle through 35 countries—even if you weren’t a cyclist? That’s exactly what Simon Brain and his fiancée did, turning a bold idea into a three-year journey across the world.They share how curiosity carried them from wild camping and cultural surprises to tense encounters with border patrols. Along the way, they discovered resilience, deepened their partnership, and experienced the generosity of strangers. From the sensory chaos of India to Mongolia’s vast silence and the friendly roads of the U.S., every mile reshaped their understanding of adventure.Their story is a reminder that you don’t need all the answers to begin—you just need the courage to leap, pedal forward, and trust the road ahead.Catch up with Simon on Instagram at @weridebikesplaces and on YouTube at We Ride Bikes Places.Join our community at Warmshowers.org, follow us on Instagram @Warmshowers_org, and visit us on Facebook.
