Cycling around the world – at a leisurely pace, with a sense of curiosity, and in a narrative style.
Those who embark on a cycle tour around the world rarely chase only the distance. This journey follows a different rhythm: the quiet cadence of the spokes, the pace at which encounters become possible, detours are welcome, and landscapes have time to tell their stories.
This website is my / a travel diary – and perhaps also an attempt to find words on the go for what cannot be held onto. Those who read along, travel a bit with me.
At the moment, I am in Germany preparing for the continuation of the journey in 2027.
