About me<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"I have never tried that before, so I think I should definitely be able to do that\"
Astrid Lindgren, Pippi Longstockings

<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In July 2018, with tears in my eyes, I was packing for my first solo cycling trip. One fundamental question buzzed in my head: Why the hell did I quit my job without a plan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s when I learned about the existence of a mysterious unit of measurement: the threshold mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is longer than the nautical mile, the Norwegian mile, or the Chinese mile. Crossing the threshold of my home was the most challenging part of the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since then, paradoxically, I feel most at home when I admire a completely unknown road from the saddle. With no one beside me and all my belongings in two panniers and a handlebar bag. Bicycle touring became my favourite way of travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With my bike, I have visited Kyrgyzstan, Norway, Ukraine, Bosnia and Herzegovina,<\/a> North Macedonia<\/a>, Switzerland<\/a>, Albania, Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Belgium<\/a>, the Netherlands and a few more countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, instead of cycling, I hike. Despite my fear of heights, I love being in the mountains. In winter, I love to go cross-country skiing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Travelling is my training in attentiveness, courage, curiosity and openness. In a collision with the Other, I attempt to unlearn what I thought I knew. I try to get to see the world without prejudice. Visiting a new place, I love discovering step by step how it functions. No geography or history lesson, book or film, has taught me as much about the world as random encounters on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the blog, I share my travel stories, insights and advice on solo travel, bicycle touring and other travel-related topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
