Who we are...
We, Yeb and Anita had, just as so many people one big wish. We wanted to explore the horizon and make a worldtrip. For some it is just a dream and they continue doing the things they do. For us it was something itchy witch was getting worse and worse...So there was onely one sollution... GO!!!
But how, backpacking, joining an expedition or finding our  way with a 4-wheel drive through Africa..? Finaly we decided to do it the way Dutch do best... On our bicycle. The way to explore the world.. With anough speed in movement so it won't get boring and slow enough to experince it very intensly and don't miss anything....
Bisides, biking keeps you in shape, gives you a nice rithem and it's cheap. So we are able to travel for a very long time.  Next thing to do was saving, saving and som more saving.... .
After a few years of saving our ass off, we were finaly ready for it. we had sold our house, quit our jobs, informed our family, friend and relatives en stored the thinks we could not sell and would not dump.
On the 16th of Mai 2002 we left on our shiny and new "Koga Worldtravellers" Our loyal donkeys for the next couple of years.
