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. I got up in the morning feeling extremely tired and paired with the absolutely horrendous weather I got to witness outside everything inside of me just didn’t want to get onto the road thatContinue reading “Day 41, 42 & 43: Hello Norway”
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 35 & 36: Across the Arctic circle
Day 35 Well that was certainly one hell of a day. What a roller-coaster. It started of on quite a bad note with me having had nightmares throughout the whole night and thus really not being in a good mood when getting out of bed. Pushed myself onto the road though, knowing that it wouldContinue reading “Day 35 & 36: Across the Arctic circle”
Day 29 & 30: Arriving in Lapland
Day 29: Kemi Heyaaaaa. Yup, I didn’t write anything yesterday but I did what I told myself I’d do from the start and what is a big part of this adventure. I did what felt right in the moment. And yesterday I needed a mental break and rest, some “me time”. Why? Well I startedContinue reading “Day 29 & 30: Arriving in Lapland”
Day 28: Oulu
It’s already quite late at the point of writing this and I have yet to cook, so please excuse the possibly somewhat short post. The day started off on a really good note, I woke up before my alarm already feeling energized, so I just got up, packed my stuff ate breakfast and headed onContinue reading “Day 28: Oulu”
Day 27: Rough riding
Heya there. I am knackered. Today’s been one hell of a ride and I’m enjoying every second of rest. The first night alone in the tent I have to say that one sleeps considerably better if not crammed together to the point where the edge of the tent touches my nose. Even with the goodContinue reading “Day 27: Rough riding”
Day 26: Heading north
Heya again. I’ve decided to try a different approach with my blog. Whilst the lengthy posts got me quite good feedback I feel like the time between them was quite long and after a certain amount of time, so much happened that the task of writing them seemed quite daunting. Now that I am aloneContinue reading “Day 26: Heading north”
My bicycle and Planned Route
My bike A lot of people have been asking me about what bicycle I am taking with me, so I figured I’d write about it for a bit. Let me just mention here, that I absolutely adore my bike. It’s my treasure and I love what it stands for, how gorgeous it looks and mostContinue reading “My bicycle and Planned Route”
