Seek Travel Ride

What's it like to go bikepacking in isolated places like Iceland, Mongolia and South America?

Adventurer Giacomo Turco, a space engineer from Italy has been doing exactly this since 2021. From his first journey in Iceland, to stepping up and heading to Mongolia to his current epic bikepacking journey in south America, Giacomo shares what it's been like out there on the trail.

Now nine months into his two-year adventure, he also recounts the mental and physical challenges of bikepacking solo. Giacomo talks about the essence of adventure, the invaluable help he has recieved from strangers, his love for the outdoors, and why taking the road less travelled is so appealing to him.

Follow Giacomo's adventures via his instagram account - @Cycling.Beyond and YouTube Channel - @Cycling.Beyond
