Helen Dainty: A Life on Two Wheels. Over 75,000km of Bicycle Touring Adventures

In this episode I had the pleasure to interview Helen Dainty who has been a full time traveller now since 2016.  Helen refers to herself as a full time global hobo and has cycled over 75,000kms around the world.  During this discussion  it was clear to me just how much her passion for travel has led her to developing a lifestyle which means she is now on an endless bicycle adventure.  <br/><br/>Helen is unofficially the first solo female to cross Saudi Arabia by bicycle and we discussed what it was like to cross a country which has only just opened its borders to tourism, and specifically what it was like to do this as a female.  We also talked about the complexities of travelling by bicycle, the stress that comes with border crossings as well as the beautiful unexpected moments and acts of kindness by complete strangers.<br/><br/>During the chat Helen shares how she has managed to work out  a way to travel in this way, setting a budget of just 1000AUD a week, and what it's like from a practical point of view to not have a permanent fixed address.  I especially loved the insights I gained from this conversation with Helen and also appreciated her advice when it comes to scoping out a perfect spot for wild camping. <br/><br/>To keep up with Helen's travel adventures I encourage you to follow her via the following links:<br/>Instagram - @HelsonWheels<br/>Facebook - Hels on Wheels<br/>YouTube - @HelsonWheels<br/>Patreon - Hels on WheelsEnjoying listening to Seek Travel Ride?
