Hi there! I'm Alee and I'm from Australia. I'm currently travelling with my partner (Laura, USA, 31) through the Middle East and Africa. Our choice of transport... two bicycles! And we would love it if you were part of our journey too. 😎

I've been travelling for over 10 years on a bicycle, which has taken me on a long journey through more than 100 countries. During my years of bike travel, I've learned that people make the world go around: it is always the people who make a place, who change my perceptions, and who open my heart and eyes. 💕

I love writing, educating, filming, and sharing my knowledge about how to travel by bike. I've somehow made bicycle touring my job, although I don't feel like what I do is work! The aim of sharing my experiences is to ultimately inspire others to give it a go. 💪🏼

Laura is currently taking some time off work to explore the world on a bike. She has a background in environmental compliance, she loves trying new foods, camping in wild places, and experiencing new cultures. We met in Mexico in 2021, and have been travelling together ever since. 🚲

We both follow a vegan diet. 🌱

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live to share: my food, my time, and my knowledge. I currently can't host (as I'm travelling), but I can guarantee that you will receive your fair share when you host me.

Interests

I'm most interested in people – what they do/eat/feel/like/loathe/speak/learn/teach and why - and their motivation for living the way that they do.
