I realised this format, country by country, is unrealistic.. Newer posts, in English and mainly in Greek, are to be found in Άτακτα.
Status Update - My lovely brothers and sisters, I salute you. I will start this short note with a small poem I wrote: DEBT A! I O U I am in Switzerland. I had to pause for a bit wandering with my bicycle because of debt accumulation. I have some money in the bank but they are not… Continue reading Status Update →
Weeks 120 – 128 | Sudan - Πού πάμε μετά; – νότια. τι έχει κάτω από την Αίγυπτο; ωραία φάση λέμε το Σουδάν τι ξέρω για το Σουδάν; σχεδόν τίποτα. ένα πράγμα βασικά. ότι στο Χαρτούμ, που είναι η πρωτεύουσα, ξεκινάει ο ποταμός Νείλος. Στο μυαλό μου έχω το Σουδάν ως «μια πιο βαρετή Αίγυπτος». Είναι από αυτές τις ιδέες/πεποιθήσεις που έχεις και… Continue reading Weeks 120 – 128 | Sudan →

Weeks 91 – 96 | Argentina - Oops… one step back to Chile… I received a surprise-video from Alain Feytie, from France, who I met with his lovely wife, Régine while cycling towards the Chile-Argentina borders.

Weeks 78 – 79 | Chile [A] - Weather-beaten and pretty tired I headed to the borders. I had approximately 10 days in and around the Bolivian salt flats. I was over exposed to rain and sun, my eyes were not completely healed, I was eating bread and bananas for the last 3 or 4 days and the bike was in a proper… Continue reading Weeks 78 – 79 | Chile [A] →
P e r u - Some months before leaving my house in order to travel I had written about the trip: “ I call it a fast forward slow motion trip ” – It’s true! I can ride 250 km in one day, 601 km in 3 days in a row, and 1800 km in 2 weeks, and at the… Continue reading P e r u →
Weeks 38 – 53 | E c u a d o r - Why 3 months in such a small country like Ecuador? Ecuador is the most diverse country I had ever been in my life. From West to East we have: the Galapagos islands (wildlife refuge with incredible biodiversity), the Pacific Coast (beautiful beaches, famous for surfing), the Andes mountain range that consists of some of the most… Continue reading Weeks 38 – 53 | E c u a d o r →
Part C, Riding Colombia - WoW! I just counted how many weeks this post is about… Time flies and I am on the same mood..

U.S.A | Weeks 8 – 20
USA – My essay - I have to admit that I liked the pun in the title… What you are about to read is far from an essay… It is more some random thoughts on my time in the States and my view of the American lifestyle as I experienced it for 3 months, riding from Boston to Miami (The Atlantic Coast… Continue reading USA – My essay →

Prehistory
The Story so far I - So, at some point during my childhood, an incident happen that shocked me a litle bit in regard to “the world of adults”. I was at my aunt’s place, hearing her counting backwards the days to vacations. She could tell you right away when there is a bank holiday, and how many three-days-in-a-row you ‘ll get… Continue reading The Story so far I →
The History so far - Of course I am not the only one finding e-bikes appropriate for something more than daily commuting or in-the-city-rides. There are already some people who attempted long distance e-bike cruises, and actually, there is a couple riding right now on Europe to set a new e-bike long-distance World Record. Let us meet them: A Spanish… Continue reading The History so far →
