Welcome my name is Jonas and together with Chispita and my bicycle I embarked on an adventure that many would consider crazy crossing Europe from Spain to Denmark on two wheels traveling about 3,000 km without detailed plans without knowing where I would sleep each night I traveled with my tent and cooking for myself every day it was a new challenge that tested not only my physical endurance but also my deepest fears my ability to live with uncertainty to decide the path as I go and above all to listen to my own intuition and embrace the unknown but this wasn’t just a trip it was a constant test where every mistake and every success took me further than I ever imagined stay and discover how this route changed my life forever and above all I hope that my trip motivates you to take the first step towards achieving your own goals day 1 I just left I’ve done 3 km I just said goodbye to my family here and the truth is that I still can’t believe that I’m embarking on this journey eh the bike is well loaded a few extra kilos that I didn’t count on it will be a interesting challenge for me as a person I’ve already done about 20 km and I just ran into Victor, a friend of mine also from bikepacking and he told me that the back tire was a little deflated and when he found a gas station he could inflate it a little so nothing so I feel it a little heavy oh oh I’ll have done about 30 km the sun is beating down nicely and nothing something happened to me, just when nothing happened I ran into Victor and well the thing is he told me to inflate the tire well well I go to the gas station and taking advantage it was 2 in the afternoon and when I started charging it I mean I plugged in the hose to inflate the tire the whole tire went deflated well so I inflated it with my inflator the manual everything is fine the thing then a guy comes and starts charging the tire and the cable was not connected rookie mistake from the first day so nothing eh now it must be like 4 in the afternoon so nothing eh a couple of hours I hope you can hear me with the wind in a couple of hours Okay, I guess I’m going to go look for a place to camp and there I was with my bike loaded down and my head full of questions the first few kilometers were a mix of excitement freedom and fear every pedal stroke took me away from what was familiar and although I liked it it also scared me a little that night I faced something new sleeping outdoors I only looked at the trees the sounds of the countryside and although nature was beautiful it also felt a little hostile I was scared I’m not going to deny it but I understood that fear is also part of the journey and that finding myself meant in part going through it well here I am uh after the first night uh I slept well more or less getting used to sleeping with the noises from outside uh the truth is yes it was a quiet night so nothing it was a bit cold but the truth is that with the blankets and the little mattress and everything it went well so nothing today awaits me a somewhat cloudy day and maybe with some rain so we’ll see uh yeah and then we’ll see the forecast for tonight because tonight it seems that in the place where I want to go uh it will rain quite a lot and maybe it will even snow I put a little more in short high so nothing let’s see how the day goes the first night last morning began between the cold and the silence I woke up surrounded by my things with the tent still wet from the dew while I took everything down I made myself a hot coffee and had a calm breakfast it was my first real attempt to understand this new routine learning to pack in order to prepare Chispita to keep pedaling the trip was starting hey tonight it’s going to rain so I’m looking for a place maybe with a roof just in case it rains eh yes the wind is blowing in our faces today all day but well at least it’s sunny so nothing second day is going well the body is adapting eh yes grateful for all the messages of support from close family in the afternoon the sky began to close but the night fell on me with no more options I set up the tent in a forest full of broken branches the atmosphere was dense something didn’t feel right once in the sleeping bag I saw the forecast imminent storm my intuition spoke that was not the place Jonas I gathered everything under the first drops and pedaled to the stands of a football field Good morning, just getting up, finally, I’ve bivouacked on a soccer field because it’s been raining, raining, raining all night so here we are. The bike is here. Day three, my body is at its peak and I can’t take it anymore. Yes, it’s my turn. Well, now I’m starting the pre-Pyrenees of Spain, so today I think I’m going to do 45 or 50 km, but there’s quite a lot of unevenness and I think I’m going to sleep on the higher part of the trail and tomorrow it’s time to go down. I think I’ll arrive around 4 and I’ll camp straight away, rest, have a coffee, a mate, eat well, yes, I’ll take a shower, yes, nothing. Here we go, uphill. This is my happy face knowing that at this point I’m going to fill up with water and look for a spot to camp. Yes, that’s it, I can’t take it anymore for today. Oh my God, the truth is that there have been some ports. Ah, climb, climb, climb, nothing, I managed it. I think that here I’m going to ask for some water and we’ll leave it for today. Oh, I really want to have a mate, a coffee, sit down for a while, the day was intense. mountains climbs endless slopes that tested every muscle in my legs my body began to feel the deep tiredness that only comes after giving it your all each pedal stroke was an effort a small challenge against your own limit but despite the exhaustion there was something deeply comforting in that wear facing the hardness the road made me feel alive connected to myself and the environment it was as if through sweat and fatigue I was cleaning layers of myself that I no longer needed tiredness invited me to look for a place to stop and then I found it a clearing under the protective shade of a large tree a natural refuge that seemed to be waiting for me I heated the water to take a shower prepared a mate and sitting with the notebook open I let my thoughts flow I began to write I listened to the whisper of the wind through the leaves the distant song of the birds and for the first time in days I felt a deep peace I counted the tent with tired but firm hands I was vulnerable exposed to the world with only a tent between me and nature but also completely at peace with myself I understood that the journey is not just kilometers or destinations but those moments of calm of intimate encounter where one can simply be, without more, there I slept today here below the tree today yes I got up early I got up around 6:15 6:30 and from there I started the day I started to prepare everything I saw the forecast and it seems to me that it’s going to rain a little so I got going to collect everything and it’s already if 9, 2 and a half hours it’s quietly taking me a while to collect everything it smells like flowers this field is the Aragonese pre-Pyrenees here I am returning to the area where I slept since I don’t know how I dropped the little bottle with which uh I pee during the night yes I don’t feel like leaving the tent at night so I pee in a little bottle and right now nothing here 3 km near Las Pedrosas I arrived I wanted to throw a little water on the derailleur to clean the bike a little of the mud and I see and I say “No.” So nothing here I’m going back to the campsite I think it will be worth it when I’m inside the tent and I say “Oh I have to pee” and I don’t have to go out or it’s raining and I had to go out no so nothing yes if in doubt if you’re questioning that bottle is cleaned every day so all good nothing I’m going to see if I can find it I got it I got the bottle I got it back nothing and I realize that you have to do things like with a methodology since I put on one of those cotton undershirts that don’t breathe very well 5 km had to stop at the side of the road to change my shirt my clothes to pedal to pedal my clothes to rest to rest there’s no more so nothing learning as you go on the march by the way today is Monday and you can notice my god the trucks the truth is that it’s something that you have to be aware of here practicing a little French you’ll have to practice a little because the truth is that I understand something and in the end you can communicate if you want to, right? From the heart, always, and with patience and listening. But yes, it’s good to arrive with some basic words, right? I feel like it’s out of respect for the culture where I’m going and to understand myself a little bit. too, right? so nothing taking advantage of the kilometers for the little French school and there I was with the wind in my favor and the road smooth under the wheels today’s route was generous without slopes or obstacles but the rain the rain kept following me like a silent shadow I didn’t want to stop for long no cooking just keep going I had written to someone through Warm Showers hoping to have a roof for that night but no silence I stopped in a small caravan area I filled the water bottles looked at the sky the storm was approaching quickly imminent and there I stayed immobilized inside the phone searching waiting hesitating the screen didn’t give me answers nobody answered and the sky was getting darker I stayed still for a few seconds but I understood that the most sensible thing perhaps the only thing I could do was go to the town ask express my needs without fear and with a little luck find a shelter before the storm broke La Oliva monastery to see there see if they’ll let me sleep and the guy from Warm Showers isn’t answering me it’s 4:20 and tonight a good storm is coming I saw a bus stop there bus to some bad and they tell me no so nothing let’s hope that here in the monastery maybe they have at least a little roof to protect me from the rain I asked a young man from the town if he knew of a place where I could sleep he told me to try the monastery and there I was in front of those ancient doors with shame on my back but there was no option I had to swallow my shame because that night I couldn’t stay without a roof today has been a day the truth is with the wind at my back and so it has been soft but oh well eh yes eh nothing I’m going to have a little Asturian fabada I went to ask here at a monastery and the priest told me yes without any problem that I can I can sleep under a roof and no the truth is how grateful I am doesn’t the simple fact of a roof for example like this stop from which I am now going to make something to eat seem like silly things that we sometimes take for granted and I think they’ll give me a bed and they have a bathroom too so day completed 70 km 70 75 km right nothing am I going to eat something that I didn’t eat anything and it’s almost 5 and at 6 they close the door I’m about 2 km from the monastery, at 6 they close the door, so at 6 I’ll be inside, maybe take a shower and sleep warm, who would have told me that so little could generate so much gratitude, and when we have so much and we know we have it, I don’t know if I run away from the rain, the water, it’s always scary, right? Sleeping outside, I think that tomorrow I’ll arrive in Pamplona and the next day I suppose in Irún or maybe I’ll stay two days in Pamplona and from there I’ll start, yes I suppose that in three or 5 days I’ll already be crossing France, so nothing, Asturian fabada, oh well, what can I say? after a hot shower having washed the clothes yes here they are drying and to dry the shoes that have been wet for days the truth is that I am very grateful here with the monastery of Oliva, uh and nothing here yes here I have the clothes already drying here I take a hot shower oh my God I have my things here things drying here I will sleep here I have some things from the tent drying they were still wet and over here already charging the electronics and a little blankets for tonight the truth is that my heart comes to me of kindness and gratitude nothing now at 7:30 in a little while uh yes the monk is going to deliver dinner I already had dinner but yes I am going to have an infusion and he told me that he would give me a muffin so nothing before dinner with the Yes before going to sleep he told me with a full stomach so nothing super grateful to sleep here today in bed well here I slept now I am collecting the spark here under the stairs and there I woke up in the monastery I felt the kindness of the human being in every corner A profound calm surrounded me. I was deeply grateful for their hospitality, for that human warmth that meant everything that night. He saw that it rained, he said nothing, nothing, just a drop, right? Yes, yes, yes, yes, nothing, well, nothing, thank you very much for everything, for opening the doors for me. Some were very grateful for having rested. Nothing. I’m heading towards Pamplona now, so nothing with energy. Are you dressed warmly? Yes, thank you very much for everything. I’m leaving now. Thank you, see you later. I’m leaving the monastery there it is, eh, they’ve offered me a bed, dinner, breakfast, shelter, right? from the storm that passed last night I did charge my electronic devices I took a hot shower and nothing today I’m heading to Pamplona land of San Fermines de los Toros the sun came out you can see it back here after a few days that the sun wasn’t present and today it will be between cloudy and sunny so there’s talk of some rain but oh well thankful because it did and as they say after the storm comes the calm the sun was coming out timidly but inside me a mix of nerves and tension was growing entering a big city like Pamplona with a spark was no small thing the traffic the noise and that slight feeling that something unexpected could be around the corner is pleasantly surprising me this trip physically today well today is the fifth day physically I’m feeling stronger eh capable right and understanding what day to day life is going to be like I think the body is starting to adapt in some way I’m seeing how the landscape is changing the truth is wow it’s beautiful to see so much green in the area where my family lives it’s near the Monegros desert yes you look on the map it’s all dry over there eh there are crops and fruit trees it’s well known for the peaches eh the figs too and smelling everything fresh the truth is that it is appreciated it is almost 10:30 I have already traveled about 15 km heading towards Pamplona with a heart full of love the truth of all the kindness of the monks of the monastery of Oliva because yes I do not know how to explain it the truth with words what a shower can be worth a roof hearing it raining hard outside and you inside I was inside the monastery right in the bed covered and listening to it raining outside I got up around 2 to go to the bathroom and went back to bed and yes and grateful for all that kindness not to offer of the charity of the love received no yes today’s pedaling is for them well wait I’ll stop, whatever you want, a fruit itself, it’s by weight I don’t know if the fruit the truth is Look if the apple do you want some bar come on come on yes like that how is your name javi, javi nice to meet you, jonas jonas yes with great pleasure Javi thanks, I’m thinking about seeing if I can make it to Pamplona, ​​one stays one stays with my heart warm with love like this cheap, thank you very much ok well thank you what I have here I have look with permission yes it goes it goes yes but then when you adapt, well come on then nothing thanks very much javi, this is a cyclist too when he says to be with you listen go well okay yes yes yes I’ll tell you egun what’s happening I forgot I’m here that I say I’m with a traveler here a bike wow don’t fuck with me yes yes yes stop eh to Denmark it’s almost going kid how good he says yes yes yes yes yes how envious he says the same envious yes yes well now I was going for a walk and I saw this boy asking for water and he’s all loaded here with the bike I curse sleep oh yeah yes well have a good trip [ __ ] well nothing thank you very much the truth the [ __ ] the truth is that there this will weigh you a lot I curse God, try it if you want this weighs no no we are talking about I curse God ah This doesn’t weigh anything, this weighs a lot. Good morning, Chus. I’m here with a cyclist. Hello , how are you? What am I carrying here? Very well, eh? Where do I come from? Fraga and I’m going to Denmark. See you later. Food for the ants. The orange peel is all earth. In the end, fruit and vegetables are not to be thrown away in the middle of the street. No, but fruit and vegetables, I feel like I don’t know, that’s my way of thinking. Isn’t it that in the end it’s organic and it gives food to the same earth from which the same food comes out again? So, nothing to take advantage of. Thankful for Javier, yes, he recommended me, well, he gave me this orange, we were chatting. He was also traveling and nothing. He recommended me to go to Orlite, a very pretty castle, and the whole old town area, and nothing. In about 30 km or so, I’ll arrive in Pamplona, ​​and there they will welcome me on the first night. No, in warm showers, so happy. Ugh, the place, in everyone’s face. Yes, there I was, dancing, the dance as a form of expression, as a form of self-motivation. Here, a traffic from the [ __ ] already arriving in Pamplona. nothing here I’m entering Pamplona eh the truth is that I do like entering a city nothing I’ve already put on my vest I always wear it but well I’ve put it on even if it’s a little hot and I’ve also put on a reflective light in the back for better visibility since the further into the center the more cars so nothing but well I have a few kilometers left and I’ll be oh how nice just passed a section the truth is a bit complicated yes it was like a highway access let’s say I shared a little bit I didn’t enter the highway motorway but yes there was traffic and that you have to be 100% attentive and nothing just now a McDonald’s just passed which has been like 4 years now yes 3 years I haven’t eaten McDonald’s and but the smell came to me I say “It smells like McDonald’s.” And then after a while I turn right I look to the right and there it was nothing eh I have 5 km no less 2 km to get to the Warm Showers house Javier I think his name is Xavier 7:30 in the morning here having breakfast in Pamplona nothing today I slept with Xavier and Sheila the truth is that I’m super happy to have shared with them eh they have the organization and I’ll tell you and they have gone around almost the entire world on their bicycles the truth is that inspiring stories and yes the truth is that the bed has been comforting eh my body is asking me to rest but I think I’m going to go up to the highest point of the Pyrenees and there I will rest yes I prefer to rest in nature than in the city right so nothing there we go today it’s about 66 km but well I arrived at altitude the night before I stayed to sleep at the house of the founders of yoslocuento.org a non-profit organization founded in Navarra in 2017 its mission is to raise awareness of disadvantaged realities and collaborate with projects that improve situations of injustice in places like the Sahrawi refugee camps Colombia Greece Haiti Kenya Palestine Uganda among others. They also carry out awareness-raising actions in schools and communities seeking to transform victims into free agents and worthy of their own lives. For me it was an honor to share a dinner with them. It was so nice to be able to meet them. They motivated and inspired me a lot as a person. That night while I was sharing with them a question arose within me: Why do I pedal? What do I contribute to this world? These were not easy questions but I felt that they were part of the path both on the bike and in life. When it’s cold, your nipples get hard enough to cut glass. Oh God, it’s the morning. Yes, I’m in a pharmacy but it’s closed because it’s starting to bother me between the parts. Don’t I feel like an irritation so I rang the bell and they’re not there . Maybe some cream I can put on. Yes, I feel like something is brewing over there, as if to say, no. Let’s see if the next town has a pharmacy open and I can put on some burning cream for today and rest tomorrow. So I think it will be great, if I start pushing the bike. Oh God these little hills these Pyrenees, eh they are beautiful but wow oh God look at these views today is the day today yes today is the sixth day on top of that without stopping I will reach the maximum altitude I think it’s about 1000 m above sea level today so it’s going to be tough today it’s all about breathing controlling your state the breathing of the moment to rest eh yes also it was time to change the card and nothing the truth is that a very quiet area yes I think it enters the Basque Country eh in search of a pharmacy I continue like this nothing let’s go to the next town but yes lots of peace lots of silence today I’m going without music the truth is I feel like going without music and listening to the birds I met a cyclist who also likes bike packing and nothing he passed me an instrument that he plays that’s made of wood I’ve never heard of it before it’s the txalaparta I’m going to listen for a while so I’ll put on Son now comes the climb the landscapes were incredible all green surrounded by animals that accompanied me on the way the sun was shining high and the wind was blowing in my favor pushing me up the slopes that I had a pharmacy in front of me, there it is, okay, I have already gone to the pharmacy because it is starting to sting a little and nothing, they gave me this cream so one in the morning and one at night but I think when I stop now I’ll put a little bit on the cream is already on the truth is that it smells good the truth is it’s the first time I put cream on there because I’ve never been yelled at and the sensation is like a crash crash so nothing it’s all about adapting I guess wasn’t it as I was climbing more and more the physical fatigue was starting to show I drank a lot of water and ate fruit to regain strength I was left with my mouth open with the landscapes that surrounded me I crossed paths with many cyclists during the day the excitement filled me inside I found it hard to believe that I was getting so far with Chispita just by my own strength go up go up up it was pouring man and we had to go down then we had to go down like crazy because it was on the other side of the mountain and then we left through Sant Esteban but I mean taking a detour because we had taken some kind of accommodation a hostel that was there uh going down well no it’s shut up pili it’s going slowly I’m not going to separate because if not it’s a problem you have to go fast and me getting soaked man I say I curse God if I had I would have already arrived at the bottom and what’s this one’s name is Cuca Cuca this one sucks more trips already yes what’s going on what’s going on beautiful she’s 15 years old 15 years old she’s very old but oh well she tells me that the beating I mean beating don’t pedal daughter [ __ ] this one lives better Cuca on top of it she’s going down her she ‘s cold she’s going down one has to put on what if this what if the other on top of him stay together the couple goes with Cuca the dog I’m reaching the highest point of the stage oh when I started the day I didn’t think it would be like this it’s already 2 in the afternoon and ugh my God I must have a few more kilometers to reach the highest point and from there 30 km down and there I was about to reach the highest peak I broke down in tears of emotion just to be able to be there healthy able to pedal living in the present moment more than ever oh yes I came from there and I’m going down there oh yes with the euro velo one I have already reached the highest point of the entire trip I think I’m going to stop to eat here and I’m going to continue down, I think tomorrow I’ll rest, yes, to absorb everything I’ve experienced. I was here so peacefully resting, I was already cleaning the bike and doing all the maintenance, and I was here with the computer and this goat appears right behind my head, I say, “Oh no, what a scare.” Come on, what was missing, come on, out here I am at the top of the Pyrenees sleeping and there are gusts of wind up to 85 km per hour, you can hear it look as if it were as if it were me I can compare it to when I was in Costa Rica with the van with the little bug and we were sleeping near the sea as if when the waves break at the end of the and you hear them from the window it’s the same but it goes like the waves the wind moves between the mountains and you hear when the gusts come yes uh it’s almost 12 at night it’s costing me a little to sleep today I was scared the gusts of wind were very strong I was afraid that the tent would break under the force of the air well to bad weather in one face they say no yes just I remembered that I had a little bit of dried fruit cocktail and yes of those that come with kikos so nothing since I can’t sleep well I’m going to snack a little until if it seems to me that it’s until 1 at night the gusts decrease of wind so nothing good morning I had a terrible night the truth is with the wind it didn’t stop blowing and it moved my whole tent it moved to the ground not all the time but 5 10 minutes the gusts came chu everything so nothing yes I think I’ll get up it’s 7 and yes I would like to leave at 9 today towards the coast yes I think I’ll cross to France today yes I think well luckily I’ll have a quiet route eh it’s called the Vidasoa greenway eh it goes down it left from Zumbilla and I think it goes to Irún I go along the river and it’s a route with little traffic especially for cyclists after a night with hardly any sleep and a good breakfast accompanied by a comforting coffee there I was again on the route the sun was shining in the sky but the wind was blowing hard reminding me that the trip was still a challenge the wind is blowing it’s difficult to ride a bike my god I was walking along the river some fallen trees were lying on the ground and the strong wind was making them creak and move awakening a little fear in me today a deep emotion of melancholy ran through me it would be my last day in Spain today I would cross the border into France with my body asking for some sugar idea hello at that moment doubts invaded me along with the uncertainty about what France would be like how they would receive me and how I would manage I only speak the minimum amount of French will I be able to wild camp thousands of questions were running through my head but I was sure that I would solve everything as I went along with cream you don’t have to keep hydrating the area it’s a little irritated so nothing but anyway for a few hours I think we’re going to see the coast the beach today we see the beach well here I stopped to eat and nothing now in like half an hour an hour I’ll be crossing into France and I’m going now I’m going to find out a little where I can sleep to see if I can wild camp or yes or some campsite I don’t know the truth I have to look at the map a little because the truth is I have looked at a little but I am already close to the sea so nothing yes happy eh I want to tell you that yes well and the truth is that I feel a little you could even say nervous because the other side of the river is France and here is Spain and I am going to cross now and it is like no my head still does not understand it does not assimilate it no here I am in Spain and there is already France the other side so nothing eh first border crossing I do not know where I am going to sleep it is still 2:30 I have plenty of time so nothing I am going to give it 10 km more and from there we will see well let’s see what happens if you are enjoying this adventure would you help me a lot by subscribing and giving it a like so we continue together on the road now we continue towards France m
