Many people dream of exploring the world, living adventurously and experiencing something new. For many, the first step is overwhelming. They don’t know where to start, how to plan the first trip, what gear to buy and how to overcome the fear of the unknown.

The articles in this section are created with a particular focus on first-time travellers, bicycle touring newbies and rookie adventurers. I share my tips for solo travelling women, not only those travelling by bike. You can learn from my experience and avoid the mistakes I’ve made as a beginner.

You will find here answers to questions like

• How to choose a sleeping bag?
• What to pack for your first bicycle tour (and where to buy cheap bike touring gear)?
• How to plan cross-country skiing holidays in Norway?
• What apps you should use for navigation on a bicycle tour?
• Is the multi-fuel camping stove better than a gas stove?
• Is camping alone as a woman safe?

and many more…

I am going to post here camping and bicycle touring gear reviews, buying guides and information on how to maintain your cycling and camping gear. From time to time, you will also find here also posts that will help you overcome your fears connected to solo travel, camping alone and travelling by bike.
