We are Tim and Cindie Travis, an ordinary American couple who decide to live out our dreams.  We saved our money, quit our jobs, sold our possessions, and set off to travel around the world by bicycle.  We left our home in Arizona, USA on March 2002 and have been on the road ever since.  We have no plans to stop.  This web site contains our ongoing travel blog, short videos and photo journal.  We update our web site regularly, on location.

Our 1st book:  The Road That Has No End

How we traded our ordinary lives for a global bicycle touring adventure.
Our 2nd book:  Down The Road in South America

A bicycle tour through poverty, paradise, and the places in between.

How did you two meet?  Who's idea was it to sell everything and travel around the world on bicycles?  How can you afford it?  We get asked these questions the most.   It seems impossible that we could make the decision to go, save up the traveling funds, sell everything we own, quit our careers, and take off on bicycles.  All of these questions are answered in the first chapter of our book which is available to read free online.  MP3 Audio: Hear Chapter 1 of our Audio Book!


Equipment and Gear Reviews:  Selecting bicycle touring and camping equipment always involves difficult decisions.  We do not claim to know it all but some aspects of gear selection we have learned the hard way over the years.  We try to share our gear experiences in an open minded and scientific way.
