Chris Clinch shares his passionate decision to explore Colombia on two wheels, starting from the vibrant city of Cartagena and heading toward Medellin through the majestic foothills of the Andes. The journey reveals valuable lessons on minimalism as he quickly learns the beauty of living with less and the kindness of strangers, who were pivotal during unexpected challenges like gear troubles and a severe dog attack in Argentina.

His story captures the essence of breaking free from societal pressures and the joy of connecting with diverse cultures. Despite managing type 1 diabetes and the high-altitude challenges, Chris’ adventure underscores the power of the global cycling community. It inspires us to step out of our comfort zones, whether by setting off on our own voyages or by extending a helping hand to fellow travelers.
