I couldn't bring myself to title this post "daily inspiration," because in truth, following this trip has been one of the most inspiring tales I've ever followed.

I jumped on a forum called Adventure Rider a while back after attempting to plan a road trip across the US. A google search linked me up to an in-progress "ride report" of Nathan Millward's trip - Sydney to London... on a 110cc postal bike...by himself.

It took him 9 months (since postie bikes have a max speed of about 40mph). He traveled 23,000 miles and passed through 18 countries.

Just about every day he would make updates to his journey, in the form of postcard-esque photographs, ride-a-long videos, and journal entries. It was one of the most captivating stories I've ever read, and it was happening in real time. It wasn't just a log of his travels, but also of his state of mind, and where it goes when you've got endless time to think. It really struck a chord with me, and I made a pact with myself to do something just as carefree and reckless before I ever have to be tied down - be it because of work or family.
