Hi

I'm Rob. In July 2018 I quit my London job of 10 years and in August I will be starting to cycle as far as I can around the world.

Having done a few years of weekend microadventures and UK bikepacking tours the moment has arrived for the now or never big adventure to see the world without a filter.

I'm setting off solo so will no doubt come to rely on this and other communities of tourers.

My interests are many; cycling (you'd hope) and travelling (of course), football and fishing and all outdoor pursuits. I like reading history, science and economics. Seeing the best of the natural world and wildlife. I like a drink, smoke and party too. Guaranteed to make me laugh: Karl Pilkington and David Shrigley.

I don’t like getting up but I’m getting used to it.

I'm new to couchsurfing, I heard great things about it through loads of cycling blogs. Looking forward to meeting like minded people and sharing tales from the road.

Thanks for reading

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be looking for cycle friendly accommodation in most of the urban areas I pass through on my attempted circumnavigation of the earth - a secure place with a friendly host who can point me in the right direction again
