Rik's sabbatical: cycling around the world

Working year after year, until you have time for something else? There's another option: a Boomerang Pension. That means taking a break to pursue a dream and to go back to work with new ideas. In this series, we follow people who opted for a Boomerang Pension. In this episode: Rik. He cycled through Europe and Africa for 11 months.
Rik is a user experience (UX) expert, but dreams about travelling. His parents are a leading example, because they once sailed the ocean and still speak fondly about the experience.
Rik didn't choose sailing, but cycling. In 11 months he cycled more than 22,000 kilometres through 30 countries. How did he do it? And how did he arrange his sabbatical financially? Watch the video.
