About Me

CURRENT MISSION

slowing exploring the beauty of asia by bicycle

ABOUT ME

So, last November we decided to leave cold London behind, pack our bicycles on the plane and fly to Hanoi..with the intention of cycling back to England. We've now been away about 8months and we're still in Asia! Having a wonderful time, it's been incredible cycling through China, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia and due to the speed we go, getting very attached to every place we go.
We often miss our friends, pets, cooking, gardening and our organic vegetables, but they will all be waiting for us when we get back! We're both interested in sustainable living, making everything we do fun, and causing as little impact to our environment as we can..

PHILOSOPHY

Smiles go a long way and everything is possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had good experiences so far and it's been a great way of meeting new people, and feeling at home in a foreign place straight away! I haven't hosted anyone through CS but I have had MANY friends of friends stay on my couch and love sharing stories over dinner. Look forward to hosting on our return home!
