I am Ari Gold, http://BikeToAustralia.com. I have been on the road for 18 months and traveled 10,000 by the time I got to Key West, Florida.

My journey has just begun. Now, I am riding my bicycle north on the eastern seaboard, looking for working passage on a sailboat to Europe.

I will ride all over Europe, experiencing firsthand the castles, museums, places of worship, food, music, accents, mind-sets, mannerisms - culture, landscapes and wildlife.

Then, I will travel through the Middle East learning about their lives, lands and history. This land is the birthplace of the Judeo-Christian-Moslem belief system.

On to Asia, where most of the world's people have lived throughout recorded history, 6,000 years of uninterrupted history. All those, cultures, languages, animals, plants (mega-biodiversity).

And then, the islands - Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania. There's so much I don't know.

Then, back to where I liked it most. I will make a home there and invite my friends to visit. Imagine the person I will become, who I am becoming. You can ride with me, on your bike or on your computer.
