What’s it Like to Go Bikepacking in the Middle East and Africa? Peter Gostelow

In this episode I reconnect with Peter Gostelow, an experienced bike tourer, to discuss his latest seven-month adventure through Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, and Tanzania. This trip really took Peter down the road less travelled, through regions well off the tourist trail. He  shares his experiences of riding insanely steep gradients in on the Jordan Bike Trail, exploring the mountainous region in the west of Saudi, camping in an elephant corridor in Northern Kenya as well as  the familiarity of returning back to Tanzania a place that Peter called home many years ago. I also explore Peter's evolving approach to travel, focusing on off-the-beaten-path adventures and the practicalities of long-term bike touring.If you missed our first episode with Peter You can listen to it hereFollow Peter via his instagram - @petegost,  Facebook and also his website petegostelow.com 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
