Synopsis

The show is about two bike-riding travelers, Mouk and Chavapa, who have adventures as they travel around the world.

Each episode begins with Mouk and Chavapa chatting via webcam to their friends Popo and Mita back home. The friends say how excited they are to tell Mouk and Chavapa something interesting that has happened to them, but before they can, Mouk interrupts with a story of his travels. The friends usually do not get the chance to tell their story.
