During the first decade of this millennium I made already a bike trip of 4 years, mainly in (S.E.) Asia, Europe North-America & New Zealand.
I returned home, went back to work, bought an apartment and had the idea to stay here until 2020, building up a financial buffer for future long distance trips.
Meanwhile I made 2 or 3 nice cycling trips a year in Europe.
As time went by, 2020 seemed only further and further away, i.o. getting nearer.
The job wasn’t satisfactory anymore, neater was the apartment and area I was living in.
To cut a long story short, I quit the job, sold the apartment, spoiled myself with a new touring bike & tent and will be on the road again from mid-April 2016.
Ride along with me and come and check my blog from time to time 🙂
He C(K)oen. Indrukwekkende verhalen heb je op je site staan. Ik krijg het gevoel dat ik niet in Zuid-Amerika ga fietsen. Je wordt er zo platgereden. Vind ik nog iets te vroeg. Heb uiteraard nog niet alles gelezen, maar dat komt nog wel.
We hebben gezellig gekletst op een terras in Nancy. Leuk je te ontmoeten. Ben je een keer in NL, fiets dan door Amersfoort.

Hoi Paul & Beja,
Hopelijk hebben jullie nog genoten van Nancy. Toen ik de Place Stanislas opfietste besefte ik onmiddellijk dat ik toch ook een nachtje in de stad moest blijven om wat beter rond te kijken. Spijtig dat ik jullie niet meer tegen het lijf gelopen ben.
Hopelijk zijn jullie op tijd in Bazel geraakt.
Als ik nog een keer noordwaarts fiets en in de buurt van Amersfoort ben, laat ik zeker iets weten 🙂
Groeten !

Thanks for your kind words 🙂
I’m a bit behind with the website, but a first update will follow later today.
I’m in Europe now riding France & Spain for the summer. Early next year, I’ll be on another continent again, with updates back in English.
