We are Michnus and Elsebie, GenX’ers born and bred South African products. Not known to follow or even believe our own advice. Our passions are motorcycle overland travel, amateurish photography, drinking beer and hit up friendships with quirky people. However, we love to share stories and inspiration with others from our motorcycle trips.

Our initial trip in 2010 was a 6-month expedition through Africa, we only made it to Ethiopia. The moto-adv-travel bug bit us hard and we decided come hell or high water will try and do it on a more permanent basis. We threw caution to the wind, sold the family pets and mom, hit the road motorcycling on a semi-permanent basis to this day. If the bones, wealth and health last we can continue motorbiking and explore more of this wonderful rock we live on.

Why do we do it? Our odyssey is not to set records, or a quick passing through to get the passport stamp.
