Description

The best path through life is the open road on a motorcycle and even better if it’s on gravel. Gravel Travel is organic podcast about everyday motorcycle riders, a journey through their lives as we travel with them sharing their experiences, tips and hardships. Awe inspiring, motivating and a educational journey. My own personal adventure did not start on gravel but it certainly gained momentum after completing a Cape to Cairo trip. I’ve always wanted to see and experience more and feel that sensation over and over again. Gravel Travel takes on many forms and I hope you will enjoy this ride with me.
