I left home in 2015 and cycled from Leeds, UK to Pakistan. On route I took 2 years to experience China, where I worked as an English teacher in Kunming, Yunnan Province. I spent the last year and a half off the bike reconnecting with friends and family in the UK and getting some long needed jobs done and I am now back on the road.

I will cycle another 18,000 kms from North Wales to Greece, living on £7 per day to raise money and awareness of the plight of refugees.

Before leaving the UK the first time I had just completed a social work degree and I tried to continue this work as I traveled, through voluntary work.

I am easy going and I enjoy to socialise with my guests when they have time, but I am equally happy left to my own devises as I always have social media posts to catch up on for those people who have sponsored me . I am vegan, non- smoking and clean and tidy.

I look forward to meeting new CS friends and sharing our love of travel.

Best wishes, Claire.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love most music, in particular female vocalists like Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Sia, Ana Brun, Skın etc. I also like Mod and Ska and stuff from the 80's when I was a youth.

Favorite movie is Dangerous Liaisons. I also like Amelie, Betty Blue and Chocolat and kids stuff like Toy Story etc.

Perfume is my favorite book. I like Herman Hesse's work. I just finished reading 'Wim Hoff Method' and was swimming in the cold Welsh sea all summer.

教，学，和分享

I taught English in Georgia and China, not sure how good I was but I am happy to help you practice your English if you'd like.

I love to learn new stuff and enjoy watching Ted talks for inspiration. I am trying to learn Chinese and how to ride a skateboard at the moment.

I will share anything I can with others, I love to share .
