After training as a neuroscientist, I now work as a freelance writer and editor, based in London. As part of the Island Rides project, I complete a cycling trip in a different country every few months and write about my experiences, with the goal of undertaking 50 such trips. While one can learn much about a place without ever being there, ‘It is by riding a bicycle,’ said Hemingway, ‘that you learn the contours of a country best.’
