Together for nearly 45 years, Tim and Sue have built a life defined by faith, family and a drive to serve. From careers in banking and medical laboratories to running their own travel business, they have explored more than 65 countries and devoted time to humanitarian work in the Philippines.
In recent years, Tim and Sue have embraced the adventure of bikepacking. They find joy in exploring new places on their bikes and are currently planning an ambitious 3,000km cycling trip around New Zealand’s South Island, scheduled for late 2025 to early 2026.
This trip is a testament to their enduring spirit of adventure and their commitment to living life to the fullest.
