CURRENT MISSION

Cycling around the World

ABOUT ME

I'm an English language teacher (when working) and exploring the world by bicycle, when not. I've lived and taught English in Japan, Tanzania and Saudi Arabia, and cycled in many more (over 90). I keep a website petergostelow.com (needs updating) but mostly post updates on my Instagram @petegost.

PHILOSOPHY

In 20 years time you're more likely to regret the things you didn't do than the ones you did.
