I've been asked why....

"Why?" is probably a good question...I don't really have an answer that makes sense. I very much enjoyed the Cambodian trip that Anthony and I took in 2008 (pictures below). I am keen to do something that takes me out of my comfort zone...and helps people at the same time!

Unlike Elizabeth, I only have 4 months to find (lose) myself, but I'll steal her terminology anyway....

Ride
It allows me to feel like part of the country - smell everything, feel the weather, hear the noises. Riding is not something I have been involved with for very long so this trip will help me test myself. Riding also takes me places that only a bike can get you to - off the beaten track.

Pray
There is a part of me that needs to reconnect with what's important (and I'll need some heavenly help to get through some of the manic traffic!)

Laugh
I want to really engage with the people I meet, enjoy the culture, learn new things, dance where I can and smile at this world (and because I'll need to have a sense of humour!)
