What I Love:
Finding that piece of Extra in the Ordinary! Sharing the outdoors with quality people, discovering and learning about new things, experiencing other cultures. Hiking, cooking and laughing, campfires, good music and stories, photography and astonishing Mother Nature, trail running and adventure. And a lot of cycling!
Riding with TT Since:
2019
Trek Travel Role:
Guide
My Favorite Ride:
Any new ride is my favourite! It's all about that endless exploring feel! Summer bike-packing with friends from one valley to the next, on those single trails, exposed ridge rides and mountain huts. Going through perched villages, feeding on local cheese and homemade cereal bars to finish the day off with a proper cold brew and view. (Dolomites, French Alps and Pyrenees)
My Rides:
A Road Bike, a Mountain Bike and a Unicycle (but that counts for half a bike and twice the fun)

In My Previous Life:
