Overland #2 brings together digital photographs made while traveling slowly across Asia by bicycle from december 2024 - february 2026.

For fourteen months I cycled through landscapes and small towns, often following minor roads and unexpected encounters. What started as a plan to ride from Nepal back to the Netherlands became something else entirely. The East kept pulling me in, and I let it.

The route took me through Nepal, India, Pakistan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. On a bicycle, slowly, wild-camping, with an analogue camera.

What stayed with me most was not the distance, but what I found along the way. The warmth of people who welcomed me without hesitation. The scale of landscapes that made me feel very small. The stillness. A different rhythm of life, one with more room for rest, for being together, for slowing down. I noticed how little was needed to feel at home somewhere.

With these photographs, I hope to share a world of stillness and presence. The photographs shown here were all made during this journey.

I’m deeply grateful to the many people I met along the way.
Without their kindness, openness, hospitality, and countless small gestures of care, this journey would not have been possible.
