"My coworker and I were both single, and I was in the trenches of online dating. Stew and I took lunch at the same time, and over sandwiches eaten from Tupperware, we bonded over our shared love of cycling. One lunch, he told me he was going to cycle the highest pass in Wales. My eyes widened, "I'd love to do that." That's when he told me to join him."
"We were dating for about a month when Stewart said, "I've got something to tell you." He continued: "I'm going to quit my job and cycle around the world. Do you want to come with me?" "Yes!" I said without hesitation. Stew had already planned a 24,000-mile turn-by-turn route across 32 countries. He saved enough money that he could ride around the world for 18 months unemployed."
She met Stewart at work and they bonded over cycling during Tupperware lunches. He invited her to cycle the highest pass in Wales and they rode Gospel Pass together. After about a month of dating, Stewart revealed plans to quit his job and cycle around the world and she agreed. He had planned a 24,000-mile route across 32 countries and saved enough to travel unemployed for 18 months. They used tents, hostels, and Airbnbs, kept modest spending, rode bright yellow steel-frame touring bikes, departed the UK, experienced a profound sense of freedom, and eloped in New Zealand.
