Episode 7: A Love Letter to Biking (Not Just About the Bike)
Release Date: 12 September 2025
Description: In this episode, I share my adventures navigating life abroad on two wheels. From biking through the flat, wind-whipped streets of the Netherlands to tackling hills, cars, and rain in New Zealand, I reflect on how small challenges abroad—like riding a bike in a new culture—can quietly shape who we are.
