Preparation

Travel Report

On the first bike trips, it was all about riding.

And riding and riding.

As the tours lengthened in recent years, I began to keep a sort of diary - all old school on paper - to record distances and impressions.

This realization arose because otherwise only individual experiences remain in memory.

Which is a shame considering the wealth of impressions.

Now, a travel report... that sounds grand.

There were also many thoughts about how to phrase things and how it could be designed ...

This led to the next realization: it is my journey and my externalized memory, so I can just write freely what comes to mind.

Completely free from pressure and the expectation of a lyrical ambition.

This is a wonderful and liberating feeling, perfectly aligning with the fundamental idea of my tour:

Unplugging, being free, getting to know countries, people, and cultures, and... riding riding riding.

A documentation of my preparations and experiences in the simplest way, and if it interests other people, that's a bonus.

Regarding the preparations, there's the equipment that will accompany me on my journey alongside my bicycle.

Enough theory, actions await!
