UK to Australia by Bike

Ойын-сауық

🌎🚲 On January 10th 2024, I start cycling California north to south, making a mental health documentary. To follow daily updates, visit @hackisoutthere on Instagram. I will be releasing the full film around late March, 2024.
In this film, four friends attempt to cycle from the UK to Australia across cities, deserts and mountains on road bikes. Many unforgettable moments, challenges and friends were made from this trip. Eject from the comfort zone and embrace the chaos of the world! Huge thanks to all that helped and truly made this trip what it was.
FAQ:
1. Why does the trip finish in Singapore?
- I ran out of money by Singapore, meaning I had to fly direct to Perth.
2. How much did this cost?
- Altogether, including VISA's, flights, occasional accommodation, food and kit, about £6000 / £7000.
3. How did you cycle across the oceans?
- I held my breath for a really long time! ;)

    Repent of sin and Trust in Jesus! John 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Matthew 7:13-23 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    Looks like YT is pushing this video again now, so I hope this can help get this video more attention, and can help to raise more awareness for your cause. Your adventure looks amazing and I can't imagine how hard it was to distill a year of your life into 1 hour and 17 minutes. Thanks for a great watch!

    This is truly one of the hidden gems of youtube. I watched this amazing travel vlog and can't help wondering what a life they've made. Against all the odds and risks, adventuring half the world with only handful of friends, funds, and simple transport. Yet they leave their doubts behind and made it across, discovering new friends, cultures, and places along the way. Man, you guys truly living a life worthy of remembering

A friend of mine's father rode his bike from Germany to Australia after WWII and he wrote a book about it a couple of years ago. No doubt you'll have some incredible stories to extrapolate and elaborate upon to compliment this profound experience.
