Returning Home: The End of an Era?
Returning back to Scotland after a few years away. What’s changed and what hasn’t?
Bike Ramble - Cycle Adventures on Planet Earth
I’ve been cycling around Europe and Asia for almost 6 years now, with three bags and bicycle I built in my bedroom. I’ve been living on the road, with long stops in Spain, Greece and China. I mainly travel solo, but also frequently meet people on the way. This is a self-supported, randomly unfolding journey. I work abroad as an English teacher, in hostels or other projects to fund my travels. Or maybe I’m a drug dealer? (That’s a joke Mum). I hate adverts and affiliate crap so you won’t find any on this website. I’m not sponsored by anybody either.

Embarking on some new adventures…
I’m majorly winning at this little game I’ve made for myself. It’s not even difficult any more. And I think that’s the problem.
I woke up at -10°C in a culvert of frozen shit under a road at 4,000m (13,000 ft). It was the beginning of my first full day in China, and if I weren’t so pessimistic, I would have supposed things could only get better.

Cycling one of the highest plateaus in the world, at over 4000m in the Pamirs, on the second-highest international highway in the world.
