ABOUT ME

In 2008, we (that's me & Cedric,the partner here) bought two Merida road bikes in Bangkok, decked it out with touring stuff and cycled across South-East Asia all the way to Mongolia via Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and China. We stopped in Mongolia, a long dreamt of destination thinking we'd stay just six months. That quickly turned into nearly four years, which it will be in October, as we got immersed in work and beating the odds it takes to live and appreciate this terrific and most beautiful of remote isolate nations. We plan to hop back on our bikes this fall and try to continue on our cycling trip across Asia and eventually on to Europe on our brand new bikes. Our time in Mongolia has told us we see and understand better when not in a hurry and so we plan to make time to try and understand people and the places we pedal through. We'd love to meet the CS local community in the towns and cities we pass through and so hoping you'd be happy to meet us when we come your way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new here and looking forward to meeting the community of local CS hosts, not always for a couch but more to meet for a good conversation and initiation into the local culture and place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have met many CS'ers through friends.Never hosted through CS though we have often helped and hosted cyclists passing through Ulaanbaatar.
