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 now I'm cycling from the UK to Japan. I wonder what will happen.
I post weekly about how I feel or what I've seen. These posts are broadly relevant to ‘life’, so it’s not a weekly journal. This week I might share the working conditions in the gas stations of Saudi Arabia; next, I may 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 and cycle beside 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.
If you like adventure, you might want to subscribe. If you’re an optimist, you’ll agree with many of my hot takes. If you read prolifically, I also send a monthly list of the best things I've read, and I invite you to send me yours.
Like a therapist, readers keep writers honest. By subscribing, you force me to take my ideas seriously. So thank you.
