The two friends talked and decided on their goal: they would travel from Alaska to Argentina—by bike. To pay for the journey, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years. In 2015, after four years of planning, they set off. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in hostels (旅社). In many places on their way, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food. During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts, rain forests, and mountains. They visited modern cities and ancient ruins, such as Tikal in Guatemala. In many places, they met other cyclists from all over the world. Gregg and Brooks kept a record of their adventures in an online blog. The trip taught both men a lot about traveling. Here is some of Gregg’s advice. ●Travel light. The less baggage (行李) you have, the less you’ll worry about. ●Be flexible. Don’t plan everything. You’ll be more relaxed and happy even when there are challenges along the way. ●Be polite.
