About Me

I originally come from the Isle of Man and seem to have picked up the countries addiction to the riding of 2 wheeled vehicles ( unpowered is enough for the time being ;) )

I'm currently heading south on my bicycle through Central america and in the direction of Argentina and intend to be doing that for the next 2 years thereabouts (finish??? it was going to be may 2021 but thanks to the pandemic, I have no clue when it will end).
If I'm not bored when I get to Argentina, I will continue on to Australia and cycle back to the IOM from there.

As for diet, I cannot have any form of coffee and I'm not really a beer drinker (cider is a completely different story ;) ) but otherwise I consume everything else meat, fish, veg, etc..

Outside of cycling I'm into:
Dungeons and dragons
Music (all except jazz)
Sailing/kayaking/being on the water (not in though)
But pretty much up for trying anything...

If you've read this far then good on you and some bonus facts for you:
I studied physics at university and carry a folding guitar and amplifier which I have used to fund the trip.

But the rest you'll have to find out if you meet me or host me ;)

Look forward to meeting you :)
