Do bicycles count??

My gf & I spent a year travelling by bicycle, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, (fly to) India where we did some backpacking, (fly to) Bankok, Thailand, where we ultimately ended in Lhasa, Tibet (illegally) after 2 months in Thailand, 2 months in Laos, 1 month in China and 1 month in Tibet. About 120,000 meters uphill on that trip.

http://www.celineandsteve.com if you care, we kept a record of our trip.

Got home and bought a 1990 Westfalia, so new to the culture. We spent 3 weeks living in it last summer in Western Canada's national parks (where we pretty much live), and absolutely loved it. It offers much the same freedom as a bicycle, thought it's a bit harder to "stealth camp" in a Westy than a bicycle... but we succeeded... and the freedom of not worrying about were you will stop each night, similar to a bicycle, get in, start driving, and where you end up is where you stay!

Not artsy at all, I'm a computer nerd, she's an accountant, but we have that streak that a Westy seems to appeal to!
