THANK YOU

Thank you

As always when cycle touring, I’m amazed and humbled by the kind generosity of strangers and the random acts of kindness bestowed on me. I thank you!

I’m also immensely grateful to my sister Amanda who through the years, selflessly, kept my journal entries and photos in a well-organised manner. Without her, there would have been no record of my travels.

As always, I’m much indebted to my friend Val Abrahamse, who kept my personal and financial matters at home in good order while I travelled the globe. It would have been quite impossible to achieve this without her conscientious efforts.

About Me

Leana Niemand: About the Author Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Leana was never much of a cyclist. Her passion for cycle touring started in 2005 when she participated in the Tour D'Afrique - a MTB race from Cairo to Cape Town. She bought a bicycle, flew to Cairo and embarked on a journey that took her all the way to Cape Town. Upon returning, she found adjusting to her regular life surprisingly difficult and decided to continue her travels on two wheels. In March 2007, Leana and her companion Ernest Markwood began a bike ride that turned into an around-the-world cycle ride. They started cycling together but eventually found their own pace and direction in life and on the road. Leana has cycled across Africa twice, the Middle East, Europe, the UK, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, the Indian subcontinent, China, Southeast Asia, and Australia. After Australia, she flew to Ushuaia, Argentina, and cycled through South, Central, and North America for several years. She then visited many larger islands, including Cuba, Jamaica, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, South Korea, and Taiwan. As of now, Leana finds herself back in Southeast Asia.
