Cheers for checking out our page! 🇦🇺🐒

In April 2026, Pete and I are ditching the safe and sane honeymoon idea for something a bit more life-threatening — riding 90cc monkey bikes across bloody Peru for the Monkey Run.

Yep, instead of sipping cocktails on a secluded island, we’ll be choking on dust, dodging cliffs, and hoping we don’t end up as a local news headline.

We’ll be thundering over the Andes, through freezing mountain passes, and deep into the Amazon jungle — all on bikes that sound like hair dryers and break down faster than our sanity. It’s dusty, dangerous, and downright dumb... but it’s us to a tee.

We’re calling it “adventuring stupidity perfected.” 🏍️💨

This is not a glorified holiday — it’s an unsupported adventure, and by its very nature, it’s extremely risky.

Not only is the Monkey Run an industrial dose of adventure, it’s also about saving the world. Every rider makes their best effort to raise a minimum of $500AUD for the official charity Cool Earth, and anything above that can be raised for any other registered charity of your choice.

We’ll face animals that can eat us, insects that can infect us, and roads that might actually kill us — all while eating mystery meat (Guinea Pig is the national dish in Peru!) and sleeping wherever we don’t get bitten first. But hey, what better way to start married life than by risking it all together? ❤️

We’re doing it for Cool Earth, a ripper charity fighting to stop deforestation in the world’s biggest rainforests. Our team goal is $1000AUD every dollar helps protect the planet.

Our route runs from Ayacucho (April 12th, 2026) to Pilcopata (April 19th, 2026) — if we survive the altitude, the wildlife, and each other.

If we stop moving... send help. Or snacks. Or both.

Donating through JustGiving is safe, quick, and goes straight to Cool Earth — no monkey business.

Thanks, legends — your support means the world (and might just keep two very questionable newlyweds alive in the Peruvian wilderness). 🐒💚
