As an avid adventurer who loves to unwind by cycling along the coast at sunset to get a pint with a mate, Flynn has just returned from a cycling holiday. In his own words, here are the tales of his travels -

“I got back from Asia about a month ago, where I cycled from Ho Chi Mihn, Vietnam to Phuket, Thailand. The trip took me 9 weeks (including rest days and island days), approximately 1,700km, 2 full bike services, and many stories to share.

I met heaps of amazing people, had experiences I never thought possible, ate some amazing food, held a landmine detection rat and nearly died a few times (sorry mum!).

I have a tendency to embark on adventures with not enough preperation (Have hiked the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal twice, didn't train at all before either), but also have a tendency to know exactly who/what/when/where/why. I deliberately went into this cycling adventure without knowing a single thing other than what I’m doing for the first 2 days, which put me extremely out of my comfort zone, but changed me as a person.

The biggest take away I had, was a quote from a book/movie called Into The Wild, because I used to see myself as an introvert not needing human connection, but the periods of solitude while cycling reminded me of; Happiness only real when shared - Christopher McCandles (aka Alexander Supertramp).”
