around the wheatbelt of westoz, China and new zealand. jamie moore
from stowaway and i went on a trip to china an new zealand, neither
of us new what to expect from china, so we were kinda thrown in the
deep end with that. the place where we were staying was a big hotel,
all rooms vacant, like a ghost building, no one spoke english, the
staff pointed and laughed. it was kinda ghetto, we didn’t feel
safe there. . jamie organised a different hotel in a sweet area.
holiday started from there and it was the time of my life!
How did you start Riding?
