Imagine cycling from Finland to Singapore? A 15,000km journey through 21 countries. In this episode I speak with Vallu Heinilä who set off on this adventure with his good friend Alvari in 2022.
Despite facing numerous challenges, including sickness and closed border crossings, Vallu encountered countless acts of kindness from strangers, shattering any previous misconceptions about travelling through so-called dangerous countries.
Vallu shares the transformative experiences he had during the trip, from the high mountains of Tajikistan to the crowded cities of India, and the physical challenge of traversing the Annapurna trail. Vallu's journey didn't stop in Singapore; he has since paddle-boarded 320 kilometres across the Baltic Sea and spent 74 days cycling and hiking across New Zealand's North and South Islands.
