This is a reblog from http://www.austinvince.com and http://hellforleathermagazine.com. I found this story to be more than awesome. Forget all your gadgety bikes with gps, abs, and other bullshit, ustide your motorcycle to the next town or around the world and discover what living is all about. These guys did it on a dime and during a questionable time in modern history. This guys are now part of my hero list. 
Just remember any trip is possible with "petrol, food and beer".

Eurotripping.

I went to Europe last month. Northern England, Copenhagen and Berlin to be exact. The main reason I went out was because my dad was ordained as a Buddhist monk. It was an amazing experience. I hung out with my old friends, Teufelskerle in Copenhagen. We drank beers, played nails, and rode motorcycles. In Berlin I met up with three friends, Bjorn, Shun and Thomas, we ate sausages, drank beer and cruised around the city. It was an awesome trip.
Enjoy.

Cruise Life.

Earlier this month I worked o a 7 day job on a cruise ship. It was interesting, to say the least. We left out of Ft. Lauderdale and cruised our way through the Caribbean to, Haiti, Jamaica, and Cozumel, Mexico. I got to reunite with my pal Adam Amengual, http://wanderwayfarer.tumblr.com/ and made some new friends.

Feature Shoot Group Show

I'm excited to announce that one of my photos was selected for the Feature Shoot Self Portrait Group Show. It's from a few years ago when I decided to shave my beard, followed by my hair. It's a great website, with lots of great photo essays. Take a look!
