Working in a hostel is a lot of fun and a great experience that one can gain. One of those interesting experiences that we had at Envoy was not that long ago. We had a Korean guy staying with us for couple of days that was a cycling tourist, one of those few people who came to Armenia on their bikes. At that point he had been on the road for almost a year and Armenia was his tenth country. Before getting here he already managed to cycle through China, Tibet, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Nepal, India, Iran and finally Armenia.

This was an unbelievable story for some of our staff as some of us have hardly ever ridden a bike  but for Jeongchan it was a childhood dream to cycle around the world and after his military service he had a wonderful opportunity to make his dream come true. After traveling for almost a year Armenia was a very nice stop for Jeongchan; people were very kind to him and he was surprised at Armenian hospitality, something that Armenians are really famous for. As a cyclist he liked the roads in Yerevan a lot because they were wide and safe with traffic lights.  He was going to continue his travels to Georgia, Turkey, Greece, and all the way to his final destination – Portugal.

Envoy wishes you only safe and nice roads on the journey of your dreams! 

We are very excited that cycle tourism gets more popular here and our story reveals that Armenia is not only a welcoming destination for backpackers but also for cycling tourists!
