Cycling Home from Tanzania

After spending six years living in Tanzania, Naomi Rouse and her family decided their return to the UK would be anything but ordinary…they'd cycle home from Berlin to Bristol. Discover what drew them to Tanzania in the first place, from the stunning landscapes and warm local hospitality to the everyday adventures of village life, chapati dinners, and learning new languages on the fly.Naomi shares how embracing simplicity and discomfort, whether navigating dusty roads in Africa or planning a multi-country bike journey across Europe, brought her family closer together and reshaped their perspective on travel and connection. If you're curious about trading comfort for adventure or need inspiration to chart your own unconventional path, this conversation offers both the grit and the humor to get you moving.Join our community at Warmshowers.org, follow us on Instagram @Warmshowers_org, and visit us on Facebook.
