Hello interwebishpere.  My name is Bruce, I and my partner Chiara will be cycling around Asia for an indeterminate length of time starting this July 2015.  We are both experienced travelers and cyclists however this will be our first trip to the beautiful and expansive continent of Asia.  Chiara is an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher and I am an Emergency Dept RN.  We both work with a diverse population, many of whom emigrated from the countries that we hope to travel to in Asia.  We are very excited to share our experiences, challenges, and adventures with all that are willing to join us.  For the next few weeks we will be posting some photos, stories, and lessons learned during our previous touring and traveling.  This will give ya’ll a bit of a reference to draw from and enable you to better understand our posts…the highs, lows, and all that lies in and around our path for the next months. Thanks for joining us and I hope you are entertained and empowered by our journey.
