Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

I'm up for most things with the exception of caving or confined spaces! I'm not a fan of heights but enjoy climbing and abseiling (I know it's a bit odd)!

Description

After quitting the 'rat race' of 20 years, I decided to spend time visiting the World in an environmental way by cycling. This is the slow travel I love and a real chance to see parts of a country you just would not see by bus or train.

I want the opportunity to learn more about a country's culture and people. Plus sometimes I need to take a break from cycling and more time to visit a city!

I am also a keen photographer and like a combination of street and portrait photography. I am working on my landscape photography so any advice and opportunities to practice are always welcome.

I also enjoy writing and currently write my blog, www.wanderingcrank.co.uk . This is an area I am still investing a lot of time and developing.

In the long term (i.e. when I have finished cycle touring) I am investigating opportunities to develop a hostel for aiding cycle tourists.
