CHALLENGE
The ultimate slow travel challenge widens your horizon and alter your personality. You are to leave your comfortzone, encounter boundaries and mental barriers. Traveling is all about finding your own way, interests and priorities.
Follow your heart & instinct.
ESCAPE
As routine slips into our daily life full of materialistic needs, one forgets you're at stake. This challenge combines excitement and wondering, it makes curious and anxious, there's a constant tension between the fear of the unknown and the reward of overcoming it.
QUEST
360°cycle is a big project, going all-the way will be most rewarding. With slow bike travel one interacts with the surroundings, one enlarges his perspectives, enjoys the beauty of the scenery, lives for the moment and collects memories ... not materials.

FREEDOM
In each place you are a blank canvas, a fresh start with no history or future, just a present tense and a bike, cycling stimulates your senses
SIMPLICITY
To have your worldly goods on the bike, there is little mental baggage on the bike which makes life back to basics (food, sleep, shelter).
CREATIVITY
Never knowing what is around the corner, be vivid, you are every conscious and aware, you are fit, you have a hard time (bad sleeping, dull food, cold/hot, tired/anxious, … ) but you know these are the times of your life
FRIENDS
Cycling makes you accessible to others, you form friendships with extraordinary people with proper ideas, have conversations knowing when its finished it really is gone, life is saying goodbye to moments
