Your guide
I crossed continents by bicycle before I ever led a tour
I’m JT. I live in Goa and have ridden India for 10 years. Long before that, I learned to travel slowly and self-supported on a loaded touring bike. That’s what I bring to every tour: knowing what a hard day on the road feels like, and how to make it a good one.

James, Canada · September 2026“We wanted flexibility to move at our own pace and adapt the route to include a few extras. James exceeded the brief. A home run!”
