February 15, 2019 | Around the World in 42 Days<\/h4>\n

Tomorrow, February 16th, I fly west and set off on the first leg of a 6-week adventure which will take me completely around the world. The central part of this adventure includes biking 1,000 miles through the land of the Lord of the Rings from Auckland to Queenstown, New Zealand. This will be my fourth long-distance bike trip since 2013. I’m so excited and very thankful to be biking again with my buddy Andrew Branch. Andrew was a part of the 2017 bike trip from Norway to Finland.<\/p>\n

We will start in Auckland, New Zealand on the north island and eventually make our way to Wellington where we will catch a ferry to the south island. We will then continue from Picton, New Zealand crossing the Southern Alps before completing our bike journey in Queenstown, New Zealand. While in New Zealand we also plan on hiking a few days and visiting some glaciers. I can’t wait to get on the road and see the beauty of New Zealand.<\/p>\n

After a few days in Queenstown, Drew will return home to San Francisco and I will take five days to slowly travel (via Singapore and Dubai) to Tanzania where I am meeting a team from the Alabama-West Florida Conference of the UMC. I’ll serve with them for 10-days in Tanzania before finally returning home at the end of March.<\/p>\n

I’ll be blogging here as often as possible and will also strive to post pictures daily on my Instagram account and on Facebook. Like my other travel blogs from the previous trips, I’ll use these pages to share about what happens each day, tell some of the stories of the people we meet and the places we see, and will also share some reflections and general thoughts about whatever I might be thinking or feeling at that moment. These blogs primarily serve as a journal for me to remember the details of the trips. However, over the years I’ve surprisingly had people tell me they enjoy following along by reading the blog. So, if that is your kind of thing, I invite you to stay tuned to the pages for the next six weeks.<\/p>\n

But first I need to make sure all my batteries are charged, finish packing a few items and get a good nights sleep.<\/p>\n
