In August 2023 I left my startup and my London flat, donated some books and packed others, took clothes to charity, said goodbye to my family, pumped up my tyres and peddled off. I sought adventure, so I cycled from London to Bangkok.
It took 16 months. I wrote about it here. The posts are broadly relevant to ‘life’, but it was never a weekly journal. One week I might share the working conditions in the gas stations of Saudi Arabia; next, I’d explore Sri Lanka's start-up scene. I've written about the shadow cast by Tito across the Balkans and how it feels to cross the Alps, above ski lifts.
One day I will write about how it feels to leave all I love in pursuit of a bicycle trip — and whether it was a good idea.
