(expensive), China, Vietnam and Costa Rica—“The biking and scenery are great.” Marc suggests leaving off north Panama (except for the Canal) and the Baja—“It is nice but monotonous. Swaziland’s sugarcane is also boring to bike through!” “The worst is waking up to rain and knowing you will be wet and cold while biking another 80 miles before getting dry again. It is more a mental thing.” The cost for the trip ranged from $30,000 to $40,000, including the bike, and according to the side trips taken. Would he go again? “Not with the same company! They were not prepared or organized. I learned much. Don’t assume what is included in a tour package. I recommend checking closer,” says Marc. What is Marc planning next? “Work for a while, then maybe backpacking somewhere! Anyone want to go?” Marc now lives in Orlando, Florida, and his occupation—“Custom residential construction while traveling around the country!” ■ If you have questions for Marc contact him at marcpalombo@hotmail.com.
