After having invested so many years in his work, in a blink of an eye, the spread of Coronavirus affected his job. However, he knew he couldn’t stay still and needed to act right away and the best decision he made was to turn this opportunity into a midlife kick in which he decided to start investing his time in doing what he really loves. Thanks to his understanding wife, Pete is able to go on a motorcycle journey of 12,000km to find some answers.
Pete seizes his new situation to embark on an adventure, exploring new places, cultures, and creating lasting memories. Solo travel poses Peter’s greatest challenge, yet he remains determined to achieve his biggest dream: rounding Cape Horn in a sailboat.
Usuhuaia
On March 22, 2022, Pete embarks from Ushuaia with a skipper to round Cape Horn, while he and his wife travel to South America beforehand. They aim to reunite with their Ecuadorian exchange student, Juan Pedro, touring Ecuador and visiting his family during the trip.
Peter is willing to fulfill another dream, which is to ride a motorcycle around South America. Thanks to his wife, he is going to be able to achieve it. He will depart from Quito, the capital of Ecuador, in early January 2022, and his tour will take him through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. Along the way, he will traverse jungles, the Andes, deserts, plains, and snowy peaks adorned with giant glaciers. This grand adventure, known as Faraway 22, will span two months as he embarks alone with his motorcycle.
Inspired by 75-year-old John Anderson, who rode around South America on a motorcycle, Pete bravely undertakes this unique experience. Ecuador Bike Rental welcome Peter to South America

“ I’m ready – to have a look inside myself before I can look out again. I’m ready to get out of my comfort zone and leave the safe ground. To feel insecure and humbled. I am ready to meet the magnificent South American nature, I am ready to meet different people and cultures. I’m ready”. – Pete, 2021. See you soon, we are really excited to have you in our beautiful country.
