Motorcycle Diaries
Following in the footsteps of such illustrious names as Che Guevara (well, so the hit 2004 movie would have us believe…) and Ewan McGregor (in the BBC’s The Long Way Down), entrepreneur and all-round adventurer Mikkel Thomsen has just completed his own epic motorcycle journey.
Traveling to raise money for charity, he spent eight months exploring South America from Chile to Colombia - and all the awesome sights of 12 different countries in between.
Mikkel has recorded his journey in video snippets over at www.race2aid.org and, quite frankly, they’re fascinating. There’s just enough mix of stunning scenery, intriguing commentary and personal musing to give a real sense of both the overall trip and each place he documents. And the ambient rock music in the background isn’t half bad, either!
But the video diaries (and his adventures) are far from over! Having settled down (temporarily, at least!) in Colombia, the Danish-born travel enthusiast has just opened up Casa Blanca hostel in the vibrant city of Cali.
If the energy he brings to helping his guests is anything like that which he shows in his video diaries, it’s bound to be one the very best hostels in Colombia!
