One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled from Edinburgh to London in 2015. Don't want to oversell it - but it is the most amazing thing I've done. Stayed with couch surfers along the way. Got to know great people, experience hospitality, see amazing countrysides and cities.

Then in 19 I cycled the entire coast of Portugal, staying in albergues and hostels and taking only a backpack. It was a strenuous trip, but of the good kind.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share stories and experiences. Tips from past travels or things I've learnt. Sharing time. It's precious and I love moments where I don't have to rush.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Company. An interested listener.

Really, if you're passionate about something I'm really curious and would love to hear all about it.
