RTW with BoB

Hi there,

I’m Jason and I’m riding my bike BoB (Beast of Burden) from Munich (the gateway to Africa) to Cape Town along the west coast of Africa. I travel to connect with people, and it seems like riding a bicycle is a great way to look tired and pitiable enough for people to help, as long as the smell doesn’t scare them off. I left on August 31, 2024 and my plan is to arrive before Christmas 2025.

This blog is somewhat a work in progress. I stubbornly decided to make my own website with my own webserver rather than just using wordpress or something similar. This stubborn insistence on doing it myself to a fault is a central theme that I’m sure will make for great reading (at my expense) in the year to come. Any resemblence to early internet websites is unintentional and purely related to a lack of website building ability and a sense for aesthetics.

Cheers, Jason and BoB
