Dice Travels is a 1-year, multi-media project comprising in-depth daily blog posts, photography and drone videography. The premise is simple: Allow die roles to determine the majority of decisions faced while motorbiking throughout the world with a limited budget for an entire year. It’s 365 days of tempting fate, enticing serendipity and letting go of free will – if such things exist at all.
