Who is Tim?
Tim Cope is a 28-year old from Australia who has previously spent two and a half years travelling Russia, Siberia and Mongolia by bicycle, rowboat, and many other means. He speaks fluent Russian, has worked as a guide in Antarctica, and most of all enjoys coming to know people in their home environments by traveling in traditional and local ways. Sharing his experiences through writing and film is his passion-turned career, and to date he is the author of Off the Rails: Moscow to Beijing by Bike (Penguin 2003), and maker of two documentary films for ABC Australia and National Geographic. Tim was awarded Australian Adventurer of the Year 2006, and is a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society.
