okay,

So my plans (which are constantly changing) were to cycle through Asia ~ but now I have fallen in love and my partner and I are wanting to travel together

she has never really done any serious riding, but I have since gotten her a bicycle to cycle to work/uni and is absolutely loving it

anyway, she recently said her dads friend was talking about how amazing their cycling adventure was through Vietnam... and all of a sudden the idea of cycle touring together is becoming a possibility!!!

WOW

so what is the next step ?? obviously to go on a few mini-tours together and see how she feels... obviously getting fitness up is the most important..

but right now flights are as cheap as ever and I'm really keen to just book a ticket to Singapore and explore Asia on bicycle..

we want to do volunteer work, she is a teacher and I work in the conservation and earth restoration fields, also interested in permaculture

we both want to see community living in action, people that are living simply but full of abundance and with care towards the Earth and each other

can you advise any destinations that fit these interests ?

anyone have experience with introducing touring to their partner? how did you go about it?

thanks ~
