Cycling Norway

Do you know that feeling of wanting to drop everything? Wanting to let go of what holds you in one place and jumping out of your comfort zone into something you never thought you could do? I do, and I'd like to tell you about it. I went to school, university, and immediately started working a full-time job, but dreamt about traveling with every look out the window. I knew I wanted to answer that wandering feeling, I just didn't quite know how. It couldn't be walking because it'd be too slow, and using a vehicle would make things too easy, not to mention the fact that everyone's doing that already. I wanted my journey to be done by my own strength, and Tristan showed me how that was possible on a bicycle. Leaving my job, apartment, and routine life behind was definitely a scary choice, but sometimes it's best to judge by your intuition. We chose Norway, cycled its coast, fjords, and valleys for the better part of four months, which made me discover that this is a very challenging way to move around. It will rain, you'll get tired, it will be too hot or too cold. I definitely thought of stopping more than once, but traveling isn't meant to be easy, it's as real and challenging as anything else. A bicycle will take you anywhere you want to go. It can become your home in the long term. It will teach you how to be strong and patient. It will carry you up and down any mountain pass. But most of all, these first few months of what I hope will become many more, have shown me that nothing is impossible. Go fetch that dream.
