Around the world companion!?

[Innesak]

Hello!

This may be a very long shot. I've always dreamed of cycling around the world and the more I think about it, the more I think I've got to do it! I'm a 25 year old girl, out of safety and for the sake of my sanity I think it's best to find a partner! I'd like to leave next January - March time so plenty of time to plan and prepare and save!

I'm looking for a guy in his twenties/thirties who really wants to do it and will commit. A reasonable amount of cycling and camping experience are both pluses but even more so is a good sense of humour - I don't fancy sharing a tent with misery guts for a year or so!

If you, or you know anyone who might be interest, get in touch!

You do not say what cycling experience you have. In my experience, travelling alone can save your sanity. I would consider riding with another female or even an older guy. Enough bike rides have ended early because of affairs of the heart.

I'll go, I'm thoroughly unlovable, but at least I'm not a misery guts!

Actually, I want to do similar, but have always pictured myself doing it alone.

I can be quite quiet in real life sometimes as I don't know what to say (yes, really!), although I do still try and make an effort, so I don't know if I would come across as being a little boring. At least I wouldn't drive you mad with talking all the time though.

Hi, you're right I haven't, I'm by no means a super experienced cyclist. I cycle 15miles home from work as often as I can and normally get out on the weekend. In March I took my bike up to Scotland for and did some great rides on the south side of Loch Ness and around Mull, I also cycled to Paris about a month ago - not a patch on what I want to do! At the moment I ride a road bike (Whyte Somerset) but realise that will need to change for the trip!

I'd really love to hear from anyone who has done a similar tour?

 

[Innesak]

Yes Mad Doug Biker!? I'm sure I could make up for the chatting on both of our sides. Where about are you based?

25, single, adventurous, happy to share a tent with a total stranger.

Surely with those qualities you must have loads of mates, from which to find a partner.

Or will we be stopping in Africa to help your rich uncle who needs to move £35m into my account for a small handling fee?

Ive just seen your photo and I am packing my bags as I type. My girlfriend of 10 years is telling me to tell you that I am stunningly gorgeous, a great cook, filthy rich, funny as hell and she will be glad to see the back of me for 4 years.

Send coordinates of where to meet.

Dammit! Not only 40 years too late for me, but I have absolutely no sense of humour.

When we did our big trip about a few years back we met a Slovenian girl, Marija Koizin. She cycled from Slovenia to Beijing and back pretty much alone - I can put you in touch with her if you like. Josie Dew and Dervla Murphy have all done similar trips, so a bloke with a GSH is not an essential accessory. If you go on the popular routes, e.g Europe to Tibet, or the Pan American you will bump into other cyclists you can hang out with.

From my experiences of long distance touring, it is much better to start off by yourself, it quickly forces you to think independently or have friends ride with you for a few days just to let the bike and yourself sort things out, If as already suggested you follow the major cycle routes that many others have done, you will find it easier, one reason is that at border controls and embassies they are used to dealing with cyclist, and the visa they require, also allow plenty of time in your planning for waiting for visa,s I once had to wait 3 weeks in Cairo to get a visa for the Sudan. Along the way you will meet up with fellow cyclist many are girls with the same visions as yourself. Forward planning is essential, all too often peeps planning long trips, forget about the weather and seasons, and end up having to suffer extremes of weather, also the weather along your route will dictate what clothing you need. There are many journals on the internet, among those I think the best source of information is https://www.crazyguyonabike.com after a few weeks on the road with a fair share of fears,sobs and doubts, you will become a very resourceful young lady, or a gibbering wreak, crying for mum.

If you can get hold of a copy of "Against The Wind", a solo ride from Japan to Dublin, via Siberia, Russia & Northern Europe.
The problems with the visas/permits & weather are there to read.
