 This is Victor he is from Bulgaria. His wife died a few years ago and he was so sad and lonely. He sold his home and everything he had and bought a bike and is riding the rest of his life he says ....because it makes him happy. I had tears in my eyes listening to his story of his wife's slow death, but at the same time so proud of his courage and a way to find peace in his sorrow. I shared a few of my Clif Bars with him as he made his cereal mix at a bench. We then rode together for a few days. I met him here in southern California.
He was on his way to Tierra del Fuego he said "where the road ends" It does, that's the southern tip of South America. Victor had found his peace .

                   My Journey

    I am a fire captain and cancer survivor.
    ​ I have now cycled around  the earth  by bicycle for cancer charity, but my journey is not over. I followed the rules of Guinness global 0circumnavigation. Same bike, same direction, cross two antipodal points, the equator and cover at least 29,000 km.  My final legs were crossing Australia north to south and east to west across the deserts bringing the total countries crossed to fifteen and a distance of 29,000 km over 10 years. The journey now continues to the most desolate and highest points of the earth.  email:
