More DescriptionOver a 18 year time span Matthew cycled solo and unsupported through regions that ranged from the equator to above the Arctic Circle. He rode through cultures, languages, along mountain ranges, and rivers, through deserts, grasslands, tundra, and cities. It was a project that would see his evolution of thought, lifestyle, and his view of the world and its peoples. Matthew found the hardship, joy, and beauty of his chosen method of travel, and of the lands and peoples he traveled through. Unhindered by metal, glass, speed or apparent affluence, his bicycle allowed him to find the isolated corners far from the beaten path, and to make contact with the people, the land, and the elements. Each journey was an increase in the unknowns and challenges, but each journey also saw gains in skills, capabilities and confidences. The journeys were not only grand adventures and explorations across the world but a journey within.
