This is the story of Joris van Abswoude, a first-time dirt biker from the Netherlands, who turned a simple question into an unforgettable adrenaline-fueled adventure.
The Spark: A Solo Traveler’s Question

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to do the dirt bike trekking in Kuta Lombok as a solo traveler?
