For me travel is often a means to an end (escaping the fucked up life we’re all programmed to follow) rather than a need to see certain places or countries. The wish or need to travel comes in waves, sometimes a gentle swell fixed with a short holiday or overnighter.
Sometimes the wish to escape and once again look for my kind of freedom becomes an oppressive unstoppable Tsunami that breaks everything around me that I’ve build up since the last Tsunmani (2000, 2011, 2022).
I’ve recently returned from a six month/ 7700km ride across Europe so once again have rest and calm to be part of the system again for a few years.
Feel free to have a sniff around my site and see what I’ve been up to the last 15 years or so.

Whew! And what a ride it has been! Not anyone nor anything can ever take away the awesome experiences you have had! They are yours. Forever. And you will never forget them because you have it all documented along with all those incredible pictures that will remind you of everything you went through in your journeys. And what you learned. Now, on with the rest of your life! Meeting new challenges and experiencing life in another direction. We have enjoyed following your journeys are looking forward seeing what happens next in the life of Shane Little…always the adventurer. As you will see, “normal life” is a real adventure too! 🙂 And a lot of fun. We wish you the best of everything!
P.S. I’m looking forward to finding out who the lucky lady will be that becomes the future “Mrs. Little”! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your life and all of its highs and lows with us over these past years. It takes courage to lay yourself bare to the world like that. You’ve both entertained us and befriended us, made us cry and made us laugh. I’m sure we will miss your tales, although I suspect it’s not really the end….Mrs Little may inspire some different kinds of adventures! The future is unwritten…
I wish you much love and happiness and I hope we will see some updates in the future. You can’t leave the story without an final ending! 🙂
hûh?
What the hell happened to your bucket list? It can’t be that short. And what is wrong with escapism? If you enjoy it, do it.
Was great to meet up with you in Canada after your winter adventure in Canada. You have experienced and done so much. Thanks!! 🙂
I hope it does not last and your away soon but not as mental as the Canada trip.
It has been emotional.
Quick note in passing to thank you for the honest, instructive and sometimes moving stuff you’ve written over recent times.
Wishing you all the best for the future but I hate to tell you it never really leaves you. I too thought I’d hung up my expedition pedals back in the ’80’s only to be taking them up 30 years later…..
I don’t just love my bikes I love all bikes. Whenever I go into town I cannot help but stop at look at any bikes that may be there. It drives my wife mad. The only difficulty I have with this obsession is making sure that I am not standing too close to any bike I am looking at to ensure no one thinks I am planning to steal it.
If I am in my car or on my motorbike I always have a quick glance at any bikes I pass.
They don’t have to be the latest carbon fibre ones either. In fact I much prefer seeing those with old well worn bikes out using them.
They are the best invention ever to me.
Know the feeling 🙂
