Fun Facts

1. For me, the most important thing is to go for it, even if you don't have all the latest equipment. One of my best trips was with a bike that wasn't suited at all for the rugged terrain - it was literally falling apart! And yet, my mind is filled with good memories of this adventure.

2. I don't mind riding in the rain, in the cold, hike-a-bike, sleep-deprived, but I must have snacks on my bike. Give me candies and I can ride all day long!

3. I got into photography through cycling, as I bought my first camera for a 6-month bikepacking trip. And now it's one of my main passions!
