After traveling 12,000km from Japan to Switzerland on a recumbent bicycle, I am now trading my bike for a skateboard.
I am currently skateboarding solo along the length of the Rhine river from Switzerland to Holland via Germany. The length of this journey is about 1,300km, and will take up to 6 weeks to complete.
If all is successful, I will attempt to skateboard solo and unassisted across North America, a journey never attempted before. I hope to set a new world record for long distance skateboarding.

"Robert is quite a determined person. I followed his travels, as he cycled from Japan to Switzerland. His website is full of details and wonderful pictures and videos, describing his trip. It's better than a Hollywood adventure movie, because it's real! Very harsh weather, camping, purifying water, language barriers - these are just a few of the many obstacles that he had to overcome. Robert, good luck in your future endeavors.
