It has now been 6 months and a few days since I arrived back in Copenhagen by bicycle after 2200 days on the road. Physically, life without the bike has obviously been more predictable and less nomadic. People have asked if it was an anti-climax to finish. I wouldn’t really say so. This physical adventure [ Read More ]

Europe was the 6th and final continent by bike. Perhaps slightly less adventurous than South America or Africa, but what a beautiful ride to finish with; after 6 years of roaming the world it was time to go home. Thank you all for being a part of the journey!
I’m not sure if I really understood it myself yet, but I’m back home in Copenhagen! 58.201 km, 2200 days, and 58 countries since I left… but those are only numbers. What’s really important is the memories; the fascinating places I saw, and the amazing people I met. Trust me, the world is generally a [ Read More ]

The very best Christmas greetings to everyone around the world! Life must go on, as they say, and after spending a couple of [ Read More ]
