About us

Hi! We are Pim & Nienke. We are currently cycling in South America in search for some of the most beautiful places on earth.

On Outdoor Roamers, we share our stories on the roads less traveled, gear reviews and practical information to guide other travelers to start planning their own outdoor adventures.

The sound of silence ___ More and more do we enjoy the silence of nature. More and more do we get annoyed by all the sounds of cities. We are about to leave for the Patagonia Beer Trail and are in San Martin de los Andes. The hostel is lovely, the town has every comfort you can ask for, but we long for the silence of nature. The sound of creeks and rivers, of the wind blowing through the trees, of birds chirping, sometimes just no sound at all. And of course all the squeeks and rattles of the bike which has become so familiar. One more night and we will be back in this soothing silence.

Spot the cyclist Within five days we've seen the landscape change about four times. From forest to Alpine to lava fields to wetland. The diversity is mind-blowing. It's the main reason why the monkey puzzle trail has been one of our favourite weeks on the bike so far.

Nienke checking the route on the GPS and to see how much kilometers we already covered that day. Even after almost a year on the road, having a sense of how much we cycled can be difficult. Some days and kilometers take forever while other just fly by. Is it the lack of high altitude cycling? Or just the extra hours in the saddle? We don’t know but lately we feel so much stronger and kilometers fly by.

Lake view hotel We asked a friendly farmer if he knew a place to camp. Almost every patch of land is fenced and we really liked the idea of pitching the tent near the lake. He showed us an almost hidden road down to the lake not hundred meters away. We were delighted to see the place was perfect! It's always a great feeling to end the day on the perfect wild camping spot.

Hike-a-bike It was day two on the #bikepackingcom

Hike-a-bike It was day two on the #bikepackingcom Monkey Puzzle Trail. We knew we had to start with a hike-a-bike. First down to a river, then up out of the beautiful valley. We estimated it would take us 30 minutes. How wrong were we! The road out of the valley turned out to be steep, sandy and rocky. We completely under estimated this part. Heavily loaded with almost a week worth of food, a rookie mistake we know, it was like pushing and dragging the bike through mud. It took us the most part of the day to get to the top and finish the 4km hike-a-bike. Even though we were exhausted when we finally reached the top, we still had good morale. It felt like a victory.
The photo was taken at the start, going down. When it was still easy going...

No white, but a very very green Christmas for us this year. Hello Patagonia!

Last week we met up with Jelle (23) and his dad Peter (63) at the Chilean coast. Almost 2 years ago Jelle @orangeguyonabike started his bike tour from Canada to Ushuaia. His father is joining him to cycle the last stretch through Patagonia together. We think it is a fantastic thing that Jelle can share a part of his trip with his father and visa versa. We fully enjoyed their company, cycling together, staying a night at a fire station and school and the hours chatting about life.

Constitucion, Masi's place Well hidden behind the fishers docks and pier, we found a little gem of a campsite to relax a few days. It's a small surfers paradise with black beaches, rugged coastline and abundant wildlife.
