Two Years on a Bike: From Vancouver to Patagonia

Could you live permanently on the road? When all your belongings fit in a few bags, your office is a roadside diner and your home is a meandering route from Canada to the southern tip of Argentina? This title puts it to the test. Strapping the necessities onto his bicycle, Martijn Doolard ventures into desolate wastelands and sojourns in vast cities, exploring what it means to be at home in the world while embracing a life of minimalism and long-term travel. Along the winding roads of California’s coasts, the impenetrable jungles of Mexico, the ever-higher passes of the Andes Mountains, and the severe alpine forests of Patagonia, Doolaard eschews comfort and convention for the sake of documenting life on one of the world’s most breathtaking – and notorious – routes.
