Going Nomad

Post by peckhammer »

I finally finished editing the Going Nomad side-project that we produced about Mike Lewis. Mike sold his house, his practice and most of his worldly possessions so he could spend the next 5 years riding his R1150GS around the globe. The series consists of six 3 to 4 minute videos about what it takes to get ready for a global adventure tour, and it may be of interest to riders considering the same type of trip. Here's the YouTube Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... BE0F33B924

Thanks for posting this. I've been watching your videos for the last couple of months, and I just sat down and watched all six episodes of the Going Nomad series. Excellent!

Liked it. I also looked at the rider's blog. Some interesting information is to be found there also with more detail about his ongoing journey.
