South Africa and Swaziland – 2014
My recent trip to South Africa and Swaziland was meant to be a scouting tour, getting to know the countries where the first PhotoMoto tour will happen next year. For those not yet familiar with the PhotoMoto concept, it is a combination of a photography workshop and a relaxed motorcycle tour for two full weeks, and…

Alaska 2014 – Prudhoe Bay to Inuvik, Canada, and to Whittier, Alaska
Inuvik, on the Northwest Territories, is at the end of the Dempster Highway, and it is the end of the road as far as going North in Canada. It is a small native town of about 3,500 people, and the sun doesn’t set there in the peak of the summer, making it a very interesting…

Alaska 2014 – Calgary, Canada, to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
After spending two days in Calgary, I resumed the road trip to Alaska, via the Icefields Parkway, passing through Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper.

Tomorrow morning, after a nice Father’s Day breakfast with Nicole, Duda, Nanda and Gui, I’ll be once again embarking…

Alaska 2013 – The Movie
I confess I didn’t think much about doing a video of the road trip to Alaska, mainly because I knew it would come down to this dilemma: how to condense 68 days of riding through 26 states and 4 Canadian provinces into a short movie? So most days I just set my GoPro and turned…

Alaska 2013 – The Journey is Completed
It’s done! After exactly 19,000 miles (such a coincidence, not a mile more or a mile less…), 68 days, 26 states, 4 Canadian provinces and a lot of espressos along the way, I parked the motorcycle in my garage a little before 7pm on Thursday, and finally reunited with my family. It was a very…
