*I'm not in Zaragoza, currently cycling toward Asia*

Hi!

My name is Sara, I was born and raised in Zaragoza, Spain, and I am originally from China.

Since the 4th of April 2022, I'm on the road. Sharing meaningful stories while cycling solo toward Asia. Check it out! :) (www.journeyfromtheroad.com)

So far cycled through 10 countries, +7000 km and had many meaningful encounters!
Currently in Türkiye.

In my latest travels, I have been focusing more on the process rather than the destination. In the past, I explored less-traveled countries.
If you are curious, take a look at my YT channel :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From April, I will mainly look for hosts along the road.
I use Warmshowers more (cycling community), and since cycling Croatia I've been "knocking" on people's doors :).
I want to meet fellow adventurers and share experiences with you!

Teach, Learn, Share

Traveling by cycling will give me unique stories to share with you :)

I can also share past experiences in less-traveled countries or while challenging myself physically and mentally in different endeavors!
