Hey hey, I'm Ped!

I'm a reasonably smiley chap currently trying to cycle from London to Sydney because, why not? Getting stuck into a real adventure excites me, and riding a bike around the world I can really experience each and every country. I love meeting new, interesting people out on the road and sharing stories as I go. If you're able to help me out and put me up on my way I'd be most grateful!

I’m a Chemistry graduate from the University of Bristol and do enjoy the odd nerdy conversation about science, but I’m into electronic music (I DJ) and of course I’m into bikes (I built the bike I’m currently touring with).

I'm an easy going, non-smoking and always excited to meet new people, cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new, interesting local people as I try cycle around the world. There's always so much to be learnt from seeing how each other live so this seems like a great idea!

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything by Underworld or Mount Kimbie will have me dancing and I love adventure books. Recently read Endurance about Shackleton's failed South Pole expedition to get me ready for cycling across Europe in winter. Hopefully it won't be that bad...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled Scandinavia during my university summers. Goteborg to London in 2014 and then Helsinki to Berlin in 2015. Now I'm riding to Australia!

What I Can Share with Hosts

An insight into what it's like to live on a bike for the next year! Hopefully some funny stories and a good laugh!
