If you appreciate the stories we share or enjoy following our journey, there are a few ways you can help support what we do.
Every day, our bikes remind us what a vast, diverse, and complex world we live in. We found that the slower we went, the more we experienced. And so, that became our unspoken plan: to take the long road, say yes when unexpected opportunities arise, and embrace all the situations we could never have planned.
This journey has undoubtedly broken us down, but it’s those moments, feeling vulnerable in unfamiliar lands, which have shown us things we won’t forget. Experiences and encounters that open our eyes, fill us with awe, make us question the world and leave us on the brink of tears. That’s what inspires us to cycle, and they’re the stories we want to share.
After thousands of gruelling, blissful, gritty miles, we collect these moments, and then the storytelling happens: filming, writing, editing photos and videos. Undoubtedly, we wouldn’t be able to do it without you. Your support helps us continue making slow, honest films, essays and photography from the road.
What will your support do?
It will help us pay for electronics like hard drives, memory cards, editing software, etc. and the possibility to replace things if they break. It also helps us keep our bikes greased and get new parts when they’re needed. We can find places to work and pay for the occasional coffee. It also helps keep us inspired, knowing you value what we’re doing.
If you’d like to support the journey, here are a few ways to do so:

A heartfelt thank you from the two of us,
Josh & Sarah
