First bikepacking trip!

With my girlfriend. 2 month trip, we started in Villach Austria and are heading south towards Greece, maybe even Turkey. I have an old cannondale MTB that I worked on. She's got a fairly new Liv Avail AR3, which I was happy to see it could rock 40mm tires.
Lot of preparations, biggest ones were:
– swapped my front fork for a rigid one
– installed 46/30 grx crankset on my GFs
– friend made custom frame bags for us
us. Amazing.

I was hesitant to go with the big panniers but I'm happy we did it, its a 2 month trip and for us both a first bikepacking trip of this length.

Im really happy with the waterbottle holders:
Behind the saddle and on the front fork. We lost 2 bottles unfortunately… have to think of a solution with rubber bands, or maybe someone has tips?

We're a week in now and its amazing, we passed the Triglav park and are now on the Kvarner islands in Croatia. Wildcamping is a bit scary, its not allowed but we do it when we cant find a campsite on our route.
