Another picture of yourself or your ride? See my website.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I was in Romania with a friend 2 years ago, we met some guys in a bar and thought it would be funny to pretend to be German lesbians. It turned out they were living in the same place as us and we had to keep the lie going for 6 weeks.

Most memorable moment on my bike: In France last year I was riding alone through some villages and there were absolutely no cars at all – It was such a sense of freedom and happiness that I decided to cycle around the world!

Most fun ever had on a bike? Trying to mountain bike on a really old tandem with my ex boyfriend.
