Route
Below you’ll find a map with my route outlined in red and blue. Click on the map to enlarge it and then zoom in to get a better view.
The first leg of the ride, the section from New Jersey, America to Buenos Aires, Argentina, will take about one year. The second leg, starting in Cape Town, South Africa and finishing in Cairo, Egypt, will also take about one year.

Hay Andrew,
I’m a second year JET living in Kagoshima-ken. I too bike to and from school everyday, not having a car and not enjoying walking with my laptop on my back.
I am utterly in awe of your planned trip.
Last year on Okinoerabu-jima I met a 60-something year old woman who was nearing the end of her bike ride from the north to the south of Japan. She was a water-colourist and showed me the pads she had filled with scenes from all over Japan on her route.
Your project is just as beautiful an idea, and perhaps one day - if I too can stop procrastinating - it’ll be one I follow in the footsteps of.
Good luck and all the best,
Em.

Hi, I’m a fellow world traveler, avid cyclist and south jerseyan as well. I’m now an ESL teacher at a middle school in the Bronx. My mom mailed me the article that was in The Trend. All I can say is YOU ARE AWESOME. I’m so looking forward to following your trip, and maybe getting my students on board as well!! Kudos!

Andrew!!!
You are truly amazing, and a powerful example of dreaming BIG, making a difference, and pursuing your dreams - one pedal at a time.
I’ll be following your journey too and sending lots of great energy from San Francisco. You are such an inspiration. I’ve forwarded your site on to all my friends and listed you as a favorite site on my blog. If I can help with anything please let me know. Wishing you a safe trip
Abrazos!! ![]()

Andrew,
You are truly an inspiration! Most people just dream without the courage to follow their dreams! I saw you in a Starbucks just outside of Fredericksburg, VA. I wish my children were with me. What a role model you are!
I will be following your journey. Great luck!

Hi Andrew-I don’t know when you’re going to be in Chile, but I will be in Santiago starting June 2008 so if you need a place to stay or connections with a school (hopefully I will be helping teach English there) let me know!
This is a truly inspirational idea!

For your next trip you should have some sort of beacon so we could look up exactly where you are… although that could maybe get you robbed easier. Maybe updating the route with a star for where you are may be the cheaper safer way.

Hey what going on my friend, I’ve only know you since what about 13 yr old, never would have thought you’d be this crazy to ride halfway around the world. Its awsome though and you provide great inspiration to the people around you. Be safe enjoy Cherry Hill NJ

So I thought of you again today. Here I am working from home today. It is now 3 o’clock, I haven’t left home and I am totally beat. How do you ride 50+ miles everyday, cook most your meals, get stressed, think all day, deal with tons of people and different climates, all while updating the world before setting up camp? Maybe it has something to do with not doing as much as you do everyday…or he philly cheesesteak I will eat tomorrow for lunch. what ever it is, I give you a lot of credit. I want to go with you next time.

Andrew,
Hey I’m back home in the northern climes of Saskatchewan. It was my pleasure meeting you and spending time discussing literature, Canlit in particular, surfing, and life with you at Maderas Beach in Nica.
Travel safe guy.
Let me know when you are coming to Canada.
