About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cycling ever eastwards

ABOUT ME

There are two of us actually (Helen and Ed). We are currently trying to cycle to China from Scotland, over about 1 year. We have realised that by far the best way to travel is to meet & stay with people who actually LIVE in the places we are passing through. We have been camping quite alot of the time, so have sleeping bags & tent and can survive on garden space if neccessary!! We would love to cook you dinner :-). We do need somewhere safe to keep our bikes, but we dont mind carrying them up lots of flights of stairs if neccessary!!

PHILOSOPHY

Better to freeze travelling that rot sitting still ... except for when it is cold.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have signed up fairly recently and are currently in Athens and will be on the road for the next 8 months or so. When we get a place of our own (probably back in Scotland) after this we intend to offer a couch!
