We met this year at Uni as we are both studying Economics. Dave is American, having completed a bike trip across the US in summer 2015.
Joe was living in Istanbul and had never ridden a bike. And now they are planning to do numerous bike trips across Europe during their breaks from Uni.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well Dave has done that bike trip. Joe has lived in a bunch of amazing cities like Paris, Istanbul, London.

What I Can Share with Hosts
