The plan

I have almost 6 months and about 10,000 km ahead of me on the bike.

If possible, I will be staying in a tent, with a few exceptions. Hotels and showers are for girls. Hitchhiking or taking the bus is strictly forbidden and will only be used in case of emergency (hopefully).

Part 1:

It all starts on June 26th in Kassel. From there, I will be cycling across Germany and Denmark with the sun at my back. Then I will take a ferry to Norway and continue following the coast all the way to the North Cape. After that, I will turn around 180 degrees and head south through Finland until Helsinki. I need to be back in Germany by August 26th, so I will be flying back home from Helsinki.

Part 2:

On September 19th, I will be flying to Adelaide. From there, I will be cycling to Melbourne and taking the ferry to Tasmania. After circling the island, I will return to the mainland and head north to Sydney.

Finally, the grand finale: New Zealand. The plan is to circle both islands before the 'real life' brings me back home for Christmas.
