10 Years of Bike Travel Adventures : Tristan Ridley (pt. 1) - Life as a Long Term Bikepacker


Season 2 Episode 110


What's it like to be a long term bike traveller? This is part 1 of a 2 part series with guest Tristan Ridley, who has pedalled over 80,000 kilometres through 71 countries since 2015. 

Tristan shares insights from his extensive bike travels, starting from a three-month tour in New Zealand, to creating the Kenya Bike Odyssey. He reflects on his evolving motivations, the challenges of continuous travel, the importance of community, and the profound self-discovery he's experienced on the road. 

We also discuss the practicalities of how he has funded his bike adventures - spoiler alert on a shoe string budget! - the impact of bike travel on local communities, the highs and lows of solo adventures, and also how content creation has shaped his journey. 

You can follow Tristan's adventures via his instagram account - @tristanrid and also be sure to check out his videos on his YouTube channel. You can also view his website - tristanridley.com
