The year is coming to an end – time to clean out the closet and make some room for the N-E-W. What a cracker it’s been and how did we rock the Pan American Highway. So what were the big surprises, the most outstanding moments and the stunning facts of 2016? Well, this is a unique mashup of them all and we will make sure to embrace them for a lifetime!!!!

All lot of people say when you are traveling you are just on a „holiday„…..well I guess those people should have seen the shit we had been doing at the Chilean border….

Sometimes I was so full of cycling and eating or the other way round that I just decided to stand around for a while and not cycle and eat…….

Another thing I took very seriously besides cycling and eating was studying. Man, did I study. Jesus Christ after cycling through the Atacama I can remember every gas station for at least 2000 km and in todays demanding job market….I am sure I will benefit from this incredible know how one day……
