Back to EpisodesMcKenzie Barney: Cycling The World. 29,000km, 5 Continents, 28 Countries
Description
In this episode I had the absolute pleasure to chat with intrepid adventurer McKenzie Barney, who recently finished a 29,000km expedition cycling around the world. Five continents, 28 countries and so many priceless experiences along the way.
After discovering a passion for slow travel via thru-hiking, McKenzie decided she wanted to explore another form of human powered travel and turned her attention to bicycle touring. She has come a long way since her first tour where she landed in Vietnam, bought herself a second hand bicycle and then started pedalling. Since then McKenzie has explored the world by bike - both as a solo female traveller, as well as sharing part of the journey with her partner.
McKenzie has now garnered a wealth of experience and it was a joy to hear her recount her adventures and have her share some of her top travelling tips as well. We chatted about the motivations to cycle around the world, and the experiences garnered from travelling in this manner.
Mckenzie also shared insights from her trips in each continent, and what it was like travelling solo as opposed to touring as a team of two. It was also interesting to see how the experiences gained from each of her trips informed the way she travelled subsequently - and included changes to her bicycle touring setup as well.
Be sure to follow her via the following channels to stay up to date with her future adventures.
