Summary

Brendon and Kira Hak have been living a nomadic lifestyle for the past six years. Kira has always had a passion for travel and Brendon for motorsports, so after a couple of life-altering events made them reevaluate what they were doing in their lives, they decided to do the big trip they had dreamed about. They spent years planning and in 2017 they set out for their motorcycle trip from Canada to Ushuaia. The plan was to be gone for about one year, but when they returned home after nearly two years they had a different perspective on life and they knew that travel was something they wanted to continue doing. If they wanted to keep going they knew that now was the time to make it happen, and if they could do it, then why wouldn’t they?
