Bored of Borders

OMG, I haven’t posted anything on my website since I took off with the bicycle from Kilifi in Kenya! That was in February, 2024. Many kilometers later in Namibia I joined 3 friends (Rob, Flo, Liam) to continue to cycle south. Rob and Flo started their journey in Cairo 1,5 years ago. Liam joined them in the middle between Cairo and Cape Town. It was great to have joyful company. Final 300 km to Luderitz I was accompanied by Gints (remember the Atlantic, right?) and his son Matiss! My brains can’t wrap around the idea, that I rowed and cycled around the world for 8 years. Digestion takes some time šŸ˜€ hahah! From Kilifi to Luderitz all in all 5200 km šŸ˜‰

    Hi. Karlis…..where are you now?

    I’m BOB. ( BoredOf Borders too! )

    And I like your style! I. was. totally BORED the other evening and I. found your documentary on my tĆ©lĆ©. ( PRIME) I like the BEZOS style too but he’d be better off if he traveled. like you…and I used to !

    Me? Just an old man who’s been around the world many times. On trains and boats and planes , walking and and thumbing and hopping and. skipping …. I never want to. stop šŸ›‘ āœ‹. This morning I tried. to find you using google. search Nada! Then I googled just your name and BINGO!

    I know a lot about borders and always dreamed about traveling without the need of a passport. Years ago I was booted out of. the EU. because my American and Australian passports. weren’t. good enough for the cop šŸ‘® on the little. Greek island ! Around. 36. hours later I returned with the proper stamp in my passport!

    Flucking borders! I. always told my kids there are many ways to get across Ć  border!

    Here’s my current address . I live alone with my dog!

    Robert (BOB )Read ( yes I love ā¤ļø to read)

    I’m having problems with. Microsoft . I have two children, OcĆ©an and Reef….they are about your age and they have kids as well.
    I really care about what’s happening on this Big Blue Dot …

    Why my address? Because. I want you and a friend. to come and stay with me for a few weeks! I’m an old man and I need help. It maybe you know someone who wants to help me šŸŒŽ Save the World šŸŒ! That’s. joke but I do need some help! Free room and board )

    I live on the forest 🌳 side edge of a sand dune about 100 metres. from the Atlantic. Océan .

    Watching your documentaries brought back lots of very fond memories….especially the Pacific islands.
    I hope to hear your voice soon..
    Consider this as a Message in a Bottle

    Take care
