THEROADCH

We love exploring the world

This website is the result of Jazz' and Phil's motorcycle journeys around the globe. Driven by an adventurous curiosity, a hint of naivety, confidence in people and our ability to cope, we explored dozens of countries on all continents, from America to Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia. Our fotos are far from professional, we always liked them to represent our every day experiences over some glossy poster images. We wrote over 200 articles en-route to entertain our families and friends at home and to free our mind for the next day to come. Influencing wasn't a thing back then, the website justified itself by its existence. It's raw, like a live concert, imperfect but full of emotions. Welcome on theroad!

Route

Check out all the locations we laid down our hat and mostly felt home.

Diary

To be prepared for fresh experiences, we wrote down what happened before. Like a live concert, not perfect but with soul.
