Final Prepartions!

So, 8 days to go… Excitment and fear glore!

Leaving Our Home & Two Weeks to Go

So, the time finally came for us to leave our paradise in the Welsh valley. It was hard work, stressful and emotional.

Less than 50 days, I repeat, LESS THAN 50 DAYS.

So, things have been really quiet around these parts lately. But I can assure you we’ve been working away behind the scenes getting everything ready for our trip. 

How to save money without really trying to save money

One of the most asked questions, we are given when I tell people about the tour is: are you working when you’re on your travels? When we tell people no, they often ask how have you managed to save enough money?

Telling Friends and Family

Have we told anyone yet? What are their thoughts on our year-long trip? Well, I can’t really help you with that.. we haven’t told many people. Less than six months to our trip and only a handful of people know.

The Journey Begins

So, I’ve always wondered how you start these things.

Do I start with saying thanks for joining us on our new adventure or do I simply start by just saying hi. Either way I’m excited you’re here and looking forward to the journey we’re starting on.

My name is Helen and my boyfriend is Ryan. We are two young professionals living in rural North Wales readily planning and preparing for a trip of a lifetime. The idea is that we’re going to cycle the world between September 2019-2020, starting in Japan and ending in Australia with one or two countries in between. Sounds simple right? Well neither of us have done a cycle tour and in fact, I haven’t cycled more than 30km so believe me the nerves and worries are there. But we’re optimistic and excited so that’s half the battle right?

Join us as we document the planning of this huge project and eventually blog about the highs and lows, our experiences and adventures and how life is on two wheels.
