Description
This week we are chatting with Sara Qiu who, at 31, is travelling on her bike solo, from her hometown in Spain to Asia (where her parents are from).
So far she’s travelled 7,500km across 10 countries. The interesting thing about Sara is her approach to this adventure. She hasn’t set herself a time limit, nor does she have an exact route of destination mapped out. She really is just winging it, learning as she goes and seeing this as a personal journey for growth, both physically and mentally.
In this conversion we talk about her stories from the road but also practical tips & tricks for biting the bullet and getting on the saddle yourself.
It’s also worth mentioning that the last country that Sara travelled through was Turkey where she was hosted by some incredible families along the way. Since the devastating earthquake, Sara is now focusing her time and energy to fundraise €50,000 towards an NGO that is helping the people from both Turkey & Syria.
Let's help Sara, help the people that have shown her kindness on her travels: https://gofund.me/4d58148a

A couple of months ago, Adam and I visited one of our bucket list destinations; The Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan. A country most people haven’t heard of but if you have, it’s probably because it’s coined the ‘Happiest Country’, which famously prioritises its citizens happiness over national wealth...
