Adventure biker Tim Lederle will take us through a 4-month, 4,500 miles long journey from Istambul to Helsinki. Along the way, Lederle saw some of the most ancient ruins of civilization in Turkey, and some of the newest countries in the Balkans; he hoofed it up mountains and flew across flat roads; and experienced each culture to the fullest by meeting friendly people and partaking of delicious local cuisine.

EVERYONE WELCOME.
