CURRENT MISSION

Friendly Scotsman with a bike and a tent cycling down from Vancouver to Mexican Border, no real plan just going to see where the road takes me!

ABOUT ME

Love the outdoors and meeting new people. Cycling from Vancouver to the Mexican border between 21st August and 24th October. Spent a year hitch hiking, skiing and working around France in 2012/13 and well and truly got the travel bug. Looking forward to exploiting some local knowledge and sharing great unexpected adventures with locals.

PHILOSOPHY

Want to get off the beaten track and have some unique experiences. Philosophy for current trip is to have very flexible plans and camp and utilise couch surfing as much as possible to save money on accommodation!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
