Even I ask myself, ‘how did I end up in this scenario?’
Well, I guess it all starts when I was growing up in the idyllic countryside of Dorset in the UK. The main way to get around in the middle of nowhere before you turned 17 was by bike. I never really grew out of this lifestyle and have travelled by bicycle for work and pleasure ever since. I swear its kept me physically and mentally alive!
While living in South Korea as an English teacher, a colleague of mine told me about a bike path going across the whole country – from Seoul to Busan known as the ‘4 Rivers Bike Path’. This really caught my imagination, and I was desperate to try it. Over a 4-day holiday I rode with another teacher along the trail. What an adventure and sense of achievement. I mean, we’d crossed a whole country in 4 days. What else could we do…?
After teaching in Korea for 5 years, it was time for another challenge, in addition to also trying to gain Permanent Residency in Australia before I become too old (30+). This was a dream of mine since visiting Aus as a teenager. Between visas, I complete my biggest bike tour yet: 73 days and 5,926 km around Northern Europe.
Here is a poster summary of the trip and the video blog I took on the way:
