How I started solo traveling

Today exactly 5 years ago I started my solo travel adventures, it all started with the #TourduPisa. Till this date I still have the picture of that trip as the background of my phone. It motivates me every day to get the most out of it.

On a Saturday night I was with some friends having a drink and chatting. Were discussed our Holidays, and I didn’t had booked mine yet. Three couples would meet up close to Pisa (Italy) for a week at the beach. With my crazy head I said I will cycle there… their reaction.. Sure..

I love cycling but on that moment I only had an Amsterdam City bike what looks like the one below. This simple bicycle brought me to the train station, pub and supermarket. That was also the only cycling training what I’d done. The next morning I decided to buy a Cortina touring bicycle on Fietsenwinkel.nl, not a crazy expensive one but after some research I trusted it was a decent bike.

How cycling through South America changed my life

{GUESTPOST} Written by Freddy Gomes – In December of 2016 I started the journey of a lifetime. After spending a few months in Rio de Janeiro I was ready to cross the South American continent, all the way to Quito in Ecuador. I’d bought a bicyclefor $ 80, and knew it was going to be an enormous challenge because I was traveling without money.

$80 bicycle, 75 days, cycling 3200KM through 5 countries in South America.

Cycling from Stockholm to Oslo

Last week I cycled from Stockholm in Sweden to Oslo in Norway. This was the most beautiful week so far. Lot of nature. Different landscapes and some crazy unpaved routes.

In Stockholm I had a great apartment where I could prepare meals. So the evening before I went cycling again I ate a lot of food. Cooked some eggs for the next days and did grocery for the lunch and diner the next day. In Scandinavia it is aloud to wild camp so always be prepared.

Weekend Stockholm!

Thursday I arrived at 13.00 in Stockholm! I was realy happy to be here. I planned 4 nights in Stockholm so I had 3 full days to relax and recover. My body needed the recovery time. The last week wasn’t the funniest the last month. 😉

Week two of #TourduEurope

On day ten I cycled out of Copenhagen on my way to Sweden. To come to Sweden you’ve to take the ferry. (Tip: with your bike go through the car checkpoint. Easy and fast!) That will costs around 29 DDK (3.90 euro) It was a nice day with lots of tailwind and could make 110km. My first impression of Sweden was Helsingborg and a few km later I saw the first IKEA. I ended my day in Orkeljunga on a campsite near a little lake.

Week one #TourduEurope

In one week #TourduEurope: tailwind brought me from the Netherlands to Copenhagen

On day one I had company of my friend Rick. He cycled the first few hours with me till Apeldoorn. He wanted to try my bike so I gave him my bike just before Apeldoorn. There is a nice part uphill 😉

The rest of the day till Bad Bentheim I cycled in a normal pace. The road was not hilly so I made it in little bit more that 6 hours. In total I cycled 140km to my hostel. The evening before I slept only 4 hours so when I arrived I went to bed, to the supermarket and to bed again for a reload of sleep!
