Hi, we’re Brian & Amy Sweet from Winthrop, Washington. In the fall of 2010, after being business owners for eight years, we decided to sell our small town bookstore, rent out our house, and hit the road with our bicycles. We packed our panniers with our camping gear and headed down to the start of our bicycle trip in San Diego on January 25, 2011. We rode our bicycles through the southern U.S. and then up to Washington DC. From there we flew to Portugal and cycled across Europe all the way to the Black Sea. We wanted to see as much of the world as we could, at the pace of slowly rolling bicycle wheels. We met the people, ate the food, and experienced the culture and scenery of many places unknown. After our six months of bicycling, we went on to our next part of our world wide tour to teach English to highschool students in China for the fall and winter months.

Coming Home

Brian and Amy Sweet grew up in the Northeast, Amy in Maine, and Brian in upstate New York, and they met when they were both living in Vermont. They spent this past year travelling by bicycle across the southern U.S. and across the middle of Europe, before flying to China to teach English to high school students there. The year of travel was a wonderful journey, and an excellent break from the "real world". Before that, the couple owned and operated a small town independent bookstore in Washington state for eight years. They are now residing in rural New Hampshire, in the White Mountains.
