Welcome to Bike Ramble!

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.

Follow along on the blog, or check out some of my photos here or on my Instagram.

Cycling Kashgar: A sickening introduction into Chinese control

China, Cycle touring ChinaNovember 26, 2019

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.
