In this episode I reconnect with Peter Gostelow, an experienced bike tourer, to discuss his latest seven-month adventure through Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, and Tanzania. This trip really took Peter down the road less travelled, through regions well off the tourist trail. He  shares his experiences of riding insanely steep gradients in on the Jordan Bike Trail, exploring the mountainous region in the west of Saudi, camping in an elephant corridor in Northern Kenya as well as  the familiarity of returning back to Tanzania a place that Peter called home many years ago. I also explore Peter's evolving approach to travel, focusing on off-the-beaten-path adventures and the practicalities of long-term bike touring.
