Moving out of my room and into my sleeping bag.
How do you even say that? I am moving out, literally, out into the wild. I am moving into my sleeping bag and onto my bike. I am also moving into my tent from time to time.
This project has been luring somewhere in the near future for months now. Far enough to idealize yet not close enough to take it seriously yet.
This week everything changed. I have less than seven days left before I leave. This is my reality now. And as usual, with my departure in sight, the last thing I want to do is leave.
This time feels different though.
I told everyone about it. And I am doing this for real. There is no turning back.
I don’t like the fact I told everyone, which is good. I am getting out of my comfort zone. Telling people makes me feel accountable. Now that I told everyone I’ll cycle to the North Cap, I feel obliged to do so. Which I had my crisis about. Until I figured out, that I might indeed reach North Cap, yet this whole game is played by my own rules. If it takes me three years to reach, because I take a detour through Mongolia that is fine. If after two weeks I am over it and want to stay somewhere, I can do that too. I can trow in the towel and I can go on forever. It doesn’t matter, Yet what ever I do, I decide.
Is this the first time I take full accountability for my life?
So far I always left with a backup plan: The key to my parents flat in my pocket. “See you in six-weeks” pretending this was just a there and back again trip. The reassurance of being two in this. Having someone else driving the van.
This time there is no backup plan. Everything can only go forward.
My bike, my sleeping bag and myself. A lot of excitement and almost the same amount of fear.
I never got rid of so much of my stuff ever before. Which I devoted myself to for about a year now. I cleaned up the past, radically. I am almost at the stage where every item I belong, is useful, beautiful and an addition of value to my life. And if I had to, it would all fit in one middle size car.
Everything I keep with me is for sure useful, beautiful and adding value to my life. And I do have to, fit it all on one bike and into a few bags.
As usual I don’t even have a real plan about where to go. South east, roughly. I am making sure there are a lot of elevation Meters in my way together with a few ice cold lakes and breathtaking views, that’s it.
The only plan I have is: to do the thing that excites me the most, do it to the best of my abilities with no attachment on the outcome.
Moving out of my room and into my sleeping bag.

I am jealous. really.
that brings back beautiful memories of the promise of uncertainty and adventure.
a long time after I got back from my first long trip (all had to fit on a motorbike 😊 ), someone I knew asked me if I ever made it to Australia. only than I realized I have been talking about it for year before eventually going.
I am jealous. you will have the best time. enjoy.
enjoy now, cause life later lacks what it will give you. but the memories will live in you forever ❤️
Motorbike to Australia, that sound like an adventure (I am curious)!! I guess in the moment it is sometimes difficult to believe that these moments will become memories forever... I give my best to appreciate all of them:) Thank you for your lovely comment💛
You are very welcome. what you do or about to embark on and share with us is very inspiring.
one of my biggest takes from this trip (illusion smashed), was that the person coming back is nowhere close to the person who left.
!BBH
yes!! my thoughts have been turning around that lately... it's like letting go of one "story" you had about yourself, to discover someone new. scary at the beginning and amazing in the end?
thank you:)
Before leaving, I remember thinking that once I am back I will just re-take my life from where I left it. same circle of friends, similar job etc. but the change I have gone through was so great that there was no way to go back to who I once was.
💙 (I love that)
And now are you where you want to be?
I wish.
I´d probably be on foot across the pyrenees if I were.
That's gonna be an amazing journey! Respect
Thank you:)
Enjoy your newest adventure! Looking forward to your first update/stories... 🤗✨
Thank you Vincent💛 ...my legs pedal faster than my fingers can write😁 but I am catching up!
You must have some seriously fast legs...

it's all that is left of me...🦵
