About Me

There used to be two of us: Silvia and I met while we were volunteers in Thailand.  After only knowing each other for three months, we decided to take an epic four and a half month backpacking trip around Asia, stopping in places like Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.  We wanted to share our experiences around the world with the world, and thus The Roaming Coconuts was born.

While Silvia and I definitely still have the travel bug, we decided that it was time for us to do some solo traveling.  So, with her heading to Iran (ah the perks of duel citizenship) and beyond, and my plans to explore Africa and spend some time relaxing in the Holy Land, we decided that it would be easier and less confusing if we blogged separately.  I’ll be continuing to write as a Roaming Coconut, while Silvia will be sharing her adventures from Heart My Backpack.

      Hey Anthony! So great to hear from you; we were actually just talking about your charity with a couple of other bikers. We did make it to the Afghan Market, and will have a blog up about it soon! Samarcand between the 10 and 12 might actually work for us. We’re headed to Uzbekistan tomorrow, going to Khiva and Bukhara first. Maybe email us at [email protected] when you’re getting close? Have fun in Kazakhstan (you will)!

    By the way – I’ve been meaning to share this with you two! Feel free to delete the comment if you feel like I’m spamming you :(, but after reading your bio the other day, I thought you two would really really appreciate this video: http://weareadventure.us/2013/07/29/bicycling-across-kyrgyzstan-alone/ It’s long, but it’s SO good & especially since you two are kind of in this area, I thought you would find it interesting. Especially relevant is the part where he tries to get through one of the border crossings… reminded me of your cross & journey to China! Anyways, that’s all! xx
