The Dream
Hello, fellow adventurers and curious souls,
For years, I held a dream close to my heart, a dream of breaking free from the daily grind, leaving the office behind, and cycling the world. It all began in 2014, when my friends Deac and Gal invited me on a bicycle tour in the Netherlands, and from that moment, I fell head over heels in love with the freedom and possibilities that cycling offered.
Fast forward a couple of years, and my life was transformed. I found myself embarking on two or three cycling trips each year and it didn't take long before I was consumed by a greater dream – the dream of cycling the world “forever.”
Today, I'm excited to introduce you to my Substack, where I'll document and share my new life living on two wheels, exploring the diverse corners of our beautiful planet. This venture is born from a daily journal I've faithfully kept, pen to paper, and I've decided it's time to move my experiences, thoughts, and emotions from my trusty journal to a platform which allows me to share my story with the world.
You might be thinking, "What will I find here? How often will this journal take form?" To be honest, I'm still figuring that out. I tend to overthink things, but I've realized that getting started is the most important step. So, expect a bit of everything as I navigate this new journey. Your feedback and preferences will help shape the direction of this Substack.
Many of my closest friends and family often have no clue where I am, what I'm up to, or even that I've had my fair share of mishaps, including three crashes already! Being able to share my story, my adventures and antics is invaluable, and I hope you'll join me on this thrilling ride.
So, whether you're a fellow cyclist, an aspiring adventurer, or just curious about life on two wheels, subscribe to my Substack to follow along with my global journey. Let's embark on this adventure together.
Stay tuned for the next installment as I start sharing my story.
