Having left the remote area nurse profession, I realised I wanted to return to my previous travel lifestyle. The initial plan was to overland back to Europe via motorcycle which turned into a logistical nightmare and so direction and plan changed to overland through Asia via bicycle.

Then at the pinnacle of my best ever mental and physical fitness I went from being the most capable, tenacious, determined, adventurous person I know to a brain-injured, paralysed, wheelchair-cripple... all in the space of a minute.
