“Selling everything I had in 2005 to go travel around the world on my sidecar was the best decision I ever made in my life.”—Hubert Kriegel 

Hubert died on 01-24-18 of aortic dissection in Sacramento, CA.

Along with his sidecar, Hubert’s iconic red-rimmed glasses were how most recognized him. The French-American left normal life a bit over a decade ago to circumnavigate the world. We followed him and admired his true spirit of adventure as he hauled a sidecar through in ice and sand to the four corners of the world—including more than 100 countries while circling the globe three times. Hubert was also a two-time survivor of throat cancer.

“Where do I want to go now? Almost never, the touristy places. I could be across the street from a famous cathedral, I won’t bother going in. Rather, I like to be in the little villages in the mountains, to meet the people, to see the real country. I make no plans before arrival. I take the Lonely Planet guidebook, but I do not look at it, or if I do, it is to find the history of the place. So, I may miss a few special things this way, but I think I find much more.”—Hubert Kriegel
