Beskrivelse
Explorers Kristen and Ville Jokinen met scuba diving in Vietnam and fell in love. She was a real estate agent from Oregon, and he a financial analyst for Toyota in his native Finland. After hiking the Pacific Coast Trail from California to Canada they decided their next adventure would be a two year cycling trip covering 18,000 miles from Purdue Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina, despite never having cycled other than around the block. Only their starting and ending points were planned, in between was navigated daily by their sense of adventure and intuition. Locals in Mexico, Central America, and South America allowed them to camp in their fields and farms, invited them into their homes and families and acted as tour guides. Kristen and Ville held babies, attended quicienras, drank pulque, played soccer, and visited schools. They persevered unrelenting, punishing rain and wind, altitude sickness, dog attacks, bike accidents, and countless flat tires to cycle between the ends of the earth.
Ville and Kristen Jokinen move through the world with a sense of curiosity while practicing kindness. They believe that creating a space of support and excitement make astonishing goals possible. Joy Ride is about the courage to follow your wildest dream and inspiring others to do the same. Ville and Kristen are love on wheels.
