The meaning of XPLORid

Low budget: cycling and camping

Outdoor: being outdoors 24/7

Round trip: across the whole world

idworx: the brand of our indestructible bicycles

 

Xid

Xid (“exit”) refers to saying goodbye to our comfortable life. We no longer have our own house, bed and bathroom. Dinner is made on a petrol burner. As cycling nomads it's every day a surprise where we end up and we slip back to three basic needs: eating, drinking and sleeping.

Linda

​

I love living a meaningfull life, freedom, nature and sports.
 

I am adventurous and enjoy discovering new things.

​

I love the sun, the beach and the sea. I like to watch the (falling) stars and the full moon. 

​

I like to sing (in the shower). I know a lot of lyrics by heart. I'd rather go to a concert of Coldplay than to a festival. 
 

I am what they call a hard worker and I love the motto "a deal's a deal". After working 12 years in sales, I was looking for less commerce and more meaning.

Giving massages is my specialty. I really enjoy getting one as well. 
 

I focus on sponsor requests, press and social media. 

​

Ben

​

I am calm, self-conscious, (un)patient, sweet, passionate, sporty, witty, adventurous, quirky, enthusiastic, honest, reliable, persistent, tireless, forgetful, slow, naive and not very structured.

 

I have an allergy for the words "you must". I choose my own way, and I'm authentic and independent.

 

I love freedom, sports (swimming and cycling), traveling, salsa dancing, exciting stories, John Irving, Quintin Tarantino. But most of all I love Linda.

 

I like white sheets and black coffee. I prefer being in nature and not in a crowded city. I love café De Pieter, swimming pool Jekerdal and my three beautiful daughters.

 

I love challenges, single malt Scottish peat whiskey, dark chocolate, good food, cooking and of course my mother's apple pie and chicken soup.

​

I focus on navigation and bicycle maintenance.
