My Name is Colin Smith I am 56 years old, born in the UK, I now live on the Gold Coast, Queensland Australia. I am the guy who sold everything to live a simple life in 3 Tiny Homes on Wheels. As a boy I had 2 passions: cycling and photography. As kids we used to ride everywhere. However, I took a path away from photography and cycling, and chose to enter Britain’s “silent service’’, the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarine force in the Cold War. I left the Navy in 1997 and emigrated to Australia in 2000 to start a technology company. I stumbled across the blog from Bicycle Touring Pro by Darren Alf. He was my inspiration. Then on trips back to the UK to visit family, I started doing unsupported cycling tours of Northern France. That was a game changer. In 2015 I completed a 6 week cycling adventure from Greece to the UK, Passing through Tuscany up through France and eventually arriving in the UK.
