Great glad you answered dunno who downvoted you and why. There's a lot of material out there and it doesn't really cost all that much if you don't want it to. I've always had a dream of travelling from Mongolia to the Ukraine on horseback Tim Cope has already done it and Tom Allen is hoping to do it I believe. Tomsbiketrip.com

Hey Al I love your books your a great inspiration! I loved the Empty Quarter. I'm currently on a tour to Morocco but I'm trying a different form of travel and I am volunteering in Madrid. I've decided I want to cycle to Australia and I've also decided I want to try and write a book and blog similar to Tomsbiketrip. However now that everyones cycling the world on unicycles, pennyfarthings and ultra mega feather like gear I imagine it would be very difficult to stand out from the crowd. A bicycle with four panniers is so last decade. As it's your job how do you find the inspiration for your projects and how to be successful sharing these projects with the public?

Also how did you meet Leon who you walked the empty quarter with? And I assume you've met Tom from toms bike trip.

Note I'm not sure if you're aware but there has been a lot of round the world bicycle posts on Reddit I think your getting a bit of a lukewarm welcome :(

Thanks man I appreciate it!

Hey mate I'm looking to do something similar. Long distance bicycle touring with the good help of the subreddit r/bicycletouring. Have you ever traveled by bicycle for a long amount of time? Alternatively spent long weeks in remote areas of the world travelling through it?
