My route:
The most important insights / what I learned:Live in the here and now, don't let the past drag you down and just let the future come to you.
- "It's going to be OK" is always true :) -Be friendly, smile a lot, have positive thoughts -Don't force anything, go with the flow -Don't worry more than necessary -Accept the things you can't control -200km per day by bike is quite exhausting :) -An average of 5-6 hours sleep per night somewhere outside is rather little :) -Europe is quite beautiful, especially by bike -I am stronger than the wind :) -You can very well live mainly on kebab, bread, chocolate, biscuits and coke :) -If you keep all your bike clothes on to sleep, you'll be ready faster in the morning :) -If you never put up the tent, but just sleep somewhere outside, it's even faster :) -If you also do without the inflatable mat and sleep with the sleeping bag directly on the ground, however, it becomes rather uncomfortable. Not recommended. -The increase in performance due to the sawed-off toothbrush was not quite as great as hoped :) -2 pairs of socks are more than enough -11 days without a shower is rather long. Not recommended. -6 weeks without exercise before I set off was the ideal preparation. Training is overrated... -It's totally okay if you don't know anything about bikes, you just have to make sure nothing gets broken :) -Bicycling somehow doesn't really get you anywhere with your choice of studies... -When you're back home, you realise how cool the whole thing has been so far. That's why I'll soon be moving on again towards Italy, the Balkans, Greece, Turkey and Eastern Europe... Daily updates, pictures and videos will be back on Instagram as usual! Until then, I wish everyone a great start to the new year and look forward to many more unforgettable adventures, experiences, emotions, encounters and new places to share with you. See you soon!
