Before we pack our bags for the trip we should realize that by leaving our surroundings we are
starting a most uncertain challenge, a true adventure. By planing a trip carefully, we can avoid
a lot of unpleasant situations later on. Using books, the internet and a whole string of available
informations we have a chance to inform ourselves about how to get there, climatic conditions,
religions and new cultural environments, food, health and many other factors.
Other travellers and local people are ofcourse another source of information. However I have
noticed that the locals are not always the best source of Information, because a lot of times
they do not travel and if they do they speak the local language, which makes it so much easier.
Once on the road there are many things to learn and usually that process happens very quick.
I always remember that travelling the way I do is something I want to do, nobody tells me that
I have to be travelling. It is my choice which makes it in turn easy to motivate myself.
Wanting to do things is always a better choice than having to do certain things. Try to
understand your travels from that point of view. It doesn’t matter if you decide on a long
or short bikeride, important is that once you have decide to do it, that you are actually
getting out there on the road. Once you started your adventure, you`ll be surprised how many
new ideas and feelings will enter your mind and body. How are you going to cope with it? The
deciding factor will be you and not the wind or the weather or your credit card.
This time it
is your turn and I wish you all the best, because it is a lovely sport and entertainment and
a very pleasant way to get to know yourself, other people as well as the environment.
