Where goes the time when the idea of bikepacking was born in a head during riding a bus in Romania or starting a trip with nothing more in mind than the destination? Cluelessly buying a small pink mountainbike off the market and continuing a backpacking trip by bike.
Starting this trip with someone that has many more bikejourneys in the saddle and who germanly organized this trips starts with a whole lot of more preperations than what I am used to. Yet it has never felt more unprepared. Realizing that with experience? age? – or whatever you may call it – also the worries grow.
Nevertheless what remains is the curiosity for the world, the craving for nature, the urge to be in and with the elements.
Bikes feel, and hopefully are, adventure proof, little machines longing for rough roads, paths, forrest routes and detours. The set up is well thought through – neetly packed and semi-well tested.
This site was set up, with the goal to bring ideas, images, routes and thoughts to (digital) paper. So this journey starts a bit different but as exciting as always.
So happy to share this journey in imaged and words. 🙂
Off to mongolia – one of the least populated countries on this globe.
Let s see where the path will take us.

Chaos in a confined space
From a single room flat
Packed, unpacked, repacked
Rearranged, sorted, given away
Two existences with all their abundances stored in boxes
Tucked away for a while
To another type of chaos in a confined space
But this time neatly packed
In five Bags
One Backpack
Limited to the necessities
Ready to go
Longing for the open spaces
Rides towards the horizon
Wild forrests
Feeling fresh air on the skin between the fingers
Woanders
