About Me

Originally from the UK but currently in New Zealand finally preparing my year long cycle ride back to the UK.

I start my adventure by cycling through Australia before flying into Malasyia for the Asian leg before the Middle East and Europe.

Throughout my years I've travelled across the world on either mini adventures or longer time away. I'm a broad open minded person with a passion for learning about people, cultures and stories.

My journey home is driven by my desire to explore with a fresh mind.

I've decided to document my travel across the world through my show called 'Pedaling Podcast'. I'll be interviewing, documenting and sharing stories from across the world within the cycling, to show and present the unique differences across the world all woven into the fabric of riding bikes.

I'll be sharing most my journey via instagram too

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After using couchsurfing in various locations over the years, there is nothing complicated about why I am on couch surfing.

To meet new people.

Its really that simple. Being hosted or hosting goes well beyond just having a place to stay. Its a warm comfort, like a distant friend helping you out, so you can feel relaxed and ensured enough to enjoy the rest of your journey.

Interests

I've been a bit of a career junkie for a while, and only last year decided to change my life.

I put a lot of my savings into buying a big white van and turning it into a small home, so I could get on the road and enjoy travelling.

Cycling is a big thing for me, so I look to involve it in mostly all the things I do.
