Intrepid Global Citizen Podcast
Society & Culture:Places & Travel
In this episode Josh Day shares advice about bicycle touring in the extreme cold, talks about his experience taking a boat from Vladivostok, Russia to South Korea, his harrowing adventure camping in the snow in "no man's land" in between the China - North Korea border, and the grand finale of his journey- arrival in Beijing after 25,000 kilometers of pedaling.
In 2017, Josh left his front door in England on a journey of a lifetime to cycle the length of Eurasia and to travel from Bristol to Beijing. 2 years and 25,000km later he arrived, having crossed the Kyzl-Kum desert, the Mongolian Steppe and the frozen wastes of Siberia. During his trip he dodged gun-toting border guards, fished out scorpions from his tent and endured nights of -27 degrees (or -19 F), but came out the other side with a new appreciation of humankind's generosity and a hatful of stories for the pub.
He now lives in the north of England, gets into the hills to cycle, run and camp as often as he can, and takes a few months off a year to go on longer adventures. Josh writes at cyclingfordays.bike and is on social media @cyclingfordays
