Hi this is Michelle and Alex from London.

We are currently on a cycling tour in South America.

How it unfolded: one day Michelle entertained the idea of leaving the crushing 9 to 7 work life behind, to go hike and bike in South America and meet some new friends along the way.
As Maya Mendoza has put it so wisely, 'No amount of security is worth the suffering of a mediocre life chained to a routine that has killed your dreams.'
Luckily Alex liked the idea of an adventure. For every adventure we go on, the journey and memories we forever keep.

When not on the move, Michelle works with animals as a veterinarian and Alex helps big companies protect their data and privacy. Michelle hails from Hong Kong - Australia and Alex hails from Slovakia but we have been Londoners for a while now. We are friendly, chill and easy going people.

We hope to catch some of you when our paths cross. Buena onda, high five people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Be kind to yourself

Teach, Learn, Share

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
