Dear Friends and fans,
Hope you are all well and taking care.

After 21 months of being on the road and crossing 20 countries, we have come to the painful decision to cut short our trip.

We have experienced generosity and love from all over the world. We really appreciate all the people that have checked up on us, hosted, warm meals, fuel.

We have been locked in Nicaragua for the last week. Our short visa validity, security concerns and heightened travel restrictions in the region are making it difficult for us to plan/continue with our travel. Borders started closing two days after we entered Nicaragua. Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala closed for all nationalities.

We have been monitoring the new developments and nothing seems to be changing especially with massive flight cancellations and government directives to close hotels/hostels

As of now: We are now looking for logistics to ship the bikes and then look for flight tickets back home to Kenya.


I told the wajuajis on this thread and they refused to listen. Corona is a convenient excuse to end a journey that was doomed to fail from day one due to a shocking level of naivety and planlessness on the couple's part. I wish them the best as they relocate and pick up the pieces.


uko na ujinga mingi. You know most countries are on lockdown so how exactly would they travel? Karibuni nyumbani but they will still be quarantined for 14 days.


Very true. Victims of the corona that has shut down the planet.

Go slow on these posts. You might come out as an envious person.

An envious person doesn't want others to succeed. Other people's success make him feel bad.

An envious person suffers from low selfworth. Other people's failures give him a kick because the failures validate his own mediocrity and low selfworth.

An envious person is a selfish person. The universe revolves around his mighty ego. To an envious person, anything that doesn't validate his opinions and needs is misguided.

Envy is one of the seven deadly sins. Punishment for envy as per the scriptural literature is being trappped in freezing water.

Go slow. Recognise the Kariukis' efforts and achievements inspite of the circumstances.
Life is short. Live passionately.

I knew they were desperate when one of them came on Betty Kyalo's show. I wish them well


Kabisa. And remember they sold kila kitu..down to their kikombes and chairs before they left. And from their own accounts online, their money has ran out.
Meaning they are coming back to absolutely nothing. I remember some delusional chap saying that they will come back to BMW sponsorship deals Laughing out loudly
In the final analysis, it all boils down to sheer plain old hard work and dogged persistence. Nothing more, nothing less!!

Wishing them all the best and safe journeys.

What they have done thus far is something I wish I had done when I was younger.

Stay safe.

I would not call 20 countries and 21 months a failure. They have had a great adventure despite their limited finances. Maybe coming home will give them time to regroup.

Even 5 countries is a success in my book. Few people actually set out to actualise their dreams. Many are waiting for a future time when things are perfect. This time never comes. Planning such a multi country trip must be crazy and for sure one cannot get all things right. It took courage and confidence. Hats off to them.
They must find it difficult....... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. -G. Massey.

Have never come across a normal human being who is not envious.

Brand endorsement could have come through if they had chosen some of the local brands that are used by boda boda guys like bajaj or the brand made by that makindu guy. That could have also promted a lot of online following and financial muscle.
