Anyone heard from StrikingViking traveling in Columbia?

**jdos** · #1 5 Dec 2001

I had been following a gentleman's written account of his trip, ongoing at present, from CA/USA south to SA. His last entry to his website, http://www.strikingviking.net/index2.php
was on Nov. 5. He had inquired via this board on Nov. 3 info regarding his next travel area heading south to Cali. Does anyone know him, or had any contact, or any information on his status?

He just posted a new message on the board under the South and Central America and Mexico catagory. He seems to have had his bike stolen in colombia.

Glen is fine, bike was stolen, was indeed held. Can't say anything more at the moment, but he is free and fine and planning on continuing his travels.

Will post more when cleared.

I heard from Glen on Dec 9, he had just been freed from the people who kidnapped him in Columbia on the 6th of Nov. he is back in Bogata trying to get another bike and passport so he can continue his trip.
