Lombok to Muar

I flew from Bangkok, Thailand to Lombok, Indonesia mid-September which was about 6 weeks after Lombok had experienced really bad earthquakes in the north of the island. I had booked my flight weeks before the earthquakes which was why I was flying to Lombok. The south of the island had not been affected by the…… Continue reading Lombok to Muar

Thailand

My first night was spent in Satun with a Warmshowers host and his family. My second night was spent 40k outside a city called Trang. My host was participating in a 10k run, he invited me to join him, so I walked the 4k fun run 🏃🏿‍♀️ 😊. It was a big turn out. My next…… Continue reading Thailand

Langkawi, Malaysia

I spent nearly 6 weeks in Langkawi, Malaysia. Langkawi is a small island off the Malaysian and Thai coast and it’s known for being duty free.

A Year

I spent my one year anniversary touring with Khim in Sean in Melaka. I keep on being asked by people about how many miles I have done over the past year. I could actually tell people but I don’t because if I work it out. What I’ve cycled in the past year is far less…… Continue reading A Year

Singapore

I spent a week in Singapore. Enough time to acclimatise to the temperature and to have a look around. I spent my first two nights at a very cycle friendly hostel: The people that owned the place were cycle tourists. SK in the picture above cycled from Finland to Singapore, a few years ago. He’s…… Continue reading Singapore
