Brian Sampson is cycle touring the world to tick off every destination from the book 'The Thousand Places to See Before You Die'  This month's update covers the end of his time in China and his first stretch riding through England and Wales.

Brian shares his experiences of:

  • Sleeping in temples and stealth camping in multiple continents
  • Visiting Tiananmen Square and  the Forbidden City.
  • Daily routines and how they change with climate and daylight hours.
  • Welcome to My Garden vs Warmshowers 
  • A crazy experience of encountering a mountain lion on the Pacific Coast Highway 
  • Reverse culture shock going from China to cycling through England and Wales.
