More adventure @ http://www.facebook.com/AndersAroundTheWorld
 
The last 4.5 months I have ridden my motorcycle over 18000 miles, across 2 continents and 9 countries and I still got 16 more to go :-) I have been interviewed on TV, visited the world scariest emergency room in Siberia, eaten live octopus in Korea, shot roadsigns with rednecks and dropped my bike more times that I care to remember. There is still 20000 miles and 5 months more to go. I love it !

Living the dream
With literally no plans for the next 5 month, except to go south, I follow suggestions, tips and invitations from fellow riders on Facebook and Youtube. In other words I never know what i'll do in the next episode or where my adventure takes me. My goal is to make the most genuine and inspiring video series, and ultimately DVD, for riders who dream about living out their motorcycle fantasies.

We don't get chances, we TAKE chances.
Unfortunately I am neither rich, sponsored or get paid to do this. I just love riding and filming. So with no savings or bike, I quit my job, borrowed 30000 dollars from my bank and headed out on my life greatest adventure, well-knowing that the money would not get me all the way around. As my funds dry out, I have had to hustle my way south, writing articles for magazines and living on the charity of my viewers and the people I meet. It's sometime scary, but also super exciting and life changing.

It's a crazy plan... but it's a plan
I strongly believe in the saying "No guts, no glory" and are taking it to the fullest with this adventure. Having just turned 30, with a girlfriend through the last 4 years, I know this is the last chance to do something as foolish as this, before I have kids and start a family.

So here I am. Balls to the wall, going for it, taking the chance, hoping that the sparks my passion creates can ignite the dreams of others. And that people will help me the rest of the way around the world, if I promise to keep my camera rolling and share my experiences.

So what am I asking?
All I ask is that you help me share and promote my show, if you like it and my "no guts, no glory" approach to living out ones dreams. From my time as an entrepreneur I learned that nothing happens by itself and that people won't help you, if they don't know you exist. So here I am with three ways you can help "Anders Around The World":

• Watch a video and share it with your network.
• Help we with contact persons and sponsors who might want to sponsor a show like this.
• Contact information on media where I might could publish my article in return for a little gas money.

If you got questions, other ways to contribute or a vacant couch. you are also very welcome just to shoot me an email back.

Living my dream... ( but scared shitless every day )
