Jan. He was traveling just ahead of me and I never met him but I liked reading his blog as it seemed to sum up how I felt about the places I had been to if I was more eloquent. Another Londoner
Oisin. Mad Irish dude who met me when I picked up my bike and rode with me around Anchorage. Reading his blog later scared and excited me. When I used to message him on how it was going he would say, ups and downs. Which is exactly what it is. Oisin
