First and foremost, I am sorry for not having written an update sooner. As will become clear when reading this post, me and particularly my mind were quite preoccupied and together with exhaustion after long days and a lack of Wi-Fi to upload images whilst not chewing through all my cellular data, it made givingContinue reading “The first days on the road & a big change of plans”

Day 46 – 49: Leaping South
It’s been a while. I’ll do this post and the next ones a bit differently since my way of travelling has changed as well. So maybe let’s begin with that. Some of you might know that I originally had planned to cycle back down south through Norway. I have made the decision to not doContinue reading “Day 46 – 49: Leaping South”
Day 44 & 45: Nordkapp
Day 44 I headed out for one more day of misery. And weather wise that’s what I got. When leaving Lakselv it was already raining and the wind was extremely strong. The following climbs were extremely exhausting and only knowing how close to my goal I was what kept my mental at a quite goodContinue reading “Day 44 & 45: Nordkapp”
Day 41, 42 & 43: Hello Norway
Day 41 Turns out the last blog post didn’t age too well as I ended up spending another day in Inari.

So I made the most out of that additional day, visiting the “Siida” – a museum about Sami culture andContinue reading “Day 40: Last night in Finland”
Day 37, 38 & 39: Saariselkä & Inari
Day 37 As a disclaimer upfront, this day and the next were mentally very difficult days due to the suicide of a friend of mine and as such I don’t want to dive into them too deeply. I’ll focus on the less personal things and keep it brief. I started out quite early in Sodankylä,Continue reading “Day 37, 38 & 39: Saariselkä & Inari”
Day 31, 32, 33 & 34: Rovaniemi
Day 31 What a wonderful day. I’ve been looking forward to it for a couple days and it lived up to it in full. Remember my friends colleague and friend that helped me with my card issues in Kuopio? She has rented a cottage with her family in Rovaniemi for holidays. So funnily enough ourContinue reading “Day 31, 32, 33 & 34: Rovaniemi”
