My web series is coming soon to a laptop near you!
Why on earth do people bathe in crude oil in Azerbaijan? What’s life like in a breakaway state in Moldova? And why have displaced people been living in an abandoned Soviet hospital in Georgia for 28 years?
In 2018, I set out on the adventure of a lifetime; a 6,000km cycle tour from Northern Norway to Azerbaijan, most of it solo. I didn't do it because of a secret passion for bicycles - in fact, I had almost no cycling experience at all. Instead, I’d decided to try to combine journalism with cycle touring, and was hoping to meet people from different walks of life that I’d never otherwise cross paths with. The goal, apart from making it from point A to point B, was to see the world through their eyes and document the experience.
This was my first real taste of adventure travel, and every mile pedalled, every mountain climbed, and every emotional breakdown endured, was in search of stories that I knew I’d never stumble across if I was travelling by car, bus, or train. Now, 13 countries and two-and-a-half years later, in collaboration with TV2 Skole, I’m finally starting to tell them!
So, if you want to explore the world from the comfort of your sofa, or just want to kill some time during lockdown, then keep an eye out for season one of my web series, "Tieran Meets the World"!
