THANK YOU ALL!

Our attempt to cycle across Australia from Sydney to Perth has concluded successfully. In Lukas’ words, the hypothesis that it is possible to cycle across Australia on pushbikes for 2 ordinary individuals who are used to spend most of the days in air-conditioned office buildings has been confirmed.

Having just read about Matt Green, it reminds us of how this trip is not only a testimony that whatever you set your mind to do, you can do it, this relatively slow pace of traveling was also in some way meditative or day-dreaming-ive (depending on how you like to view it). ;)

Matt is a 30-year old Virginia native who abandoned his career as a civil engineer in Manhattan, NY to walk over 4,800km from Rockaway Beach, a coastal neighborhood south of New York’s JFK Airport to Rockaway Beach in Oregon starting late last March. Unlike some who set out to accomplish amazing feats for a cause, Matt has no agenda and is simply enjoying doing his own thing, just like we are.

Back to the purpose of this entry, we would like to thank all of you for your kind and supportive words. Every comment, Facebook post or message and email we received meant a lot to us! Also, thank you to those who relentlessly followed our blog and read about us as well as shared our journey with others. Last but not least, thank you to our families who believed in us despite thinking we are out of our minds. ;=)

T-H-A-N-K   Y-O-U!

We also hope that what we did, however crazy it may sound at the beginning, would be a testament that ordinary people can do extra-ordinary things if that's what you want to do and what you set your heart to do.

We wish you all the best!
