Michael McCreesh
CO-FOUNDER / MARKETING & COMMUNITY
Michael has lived in Taiwan for nearly a decade and fell in love with Taiwan’s Great Outdoors right away.
He has lived, worked, and cycled across four continents, conquering everything from the challenging climbs of Taiwan's Central Mountains to the misty rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, the arid deserts of Western Australia, and the rugged bogs of Latvia.
Before moving to Asia, he led the development of bicycle tourism in his home province of Ontario, Canada. He’s also currently completing his Ph.D on the Development of Bicycle Tourism in Taiwan giving him more reasons to get out and conduct “research”.
