Cycling 1,000 km across France taught me one important lesson: stay in the moment.
It’s easy to think about the next city, the next border, the next challenge… but the real joy of bikepacking is found right here and now—in the vineyards, the quiet roads, the simple coffee stops.

How can something I love be hard? That’s the question I keep asking myself while cycling across France. But bike packing is like life. The hard moments and the good moments together, they make the story. For me, my trips have always been more fun, more rewarding, and more full of lessons than they’ve ever been hard. I started in Paris with more than 1,000 km ahead of me. That number alone can feel overwhelming. But here’s what I’ve learned. You don’t need 1,000 km to enjoy backpacking. It’s not about chasing the biggest numbers. It’s about the love of combining cycling, traveling, the outdoors, food, and living a healthier life. The most common question I get is, “What was the hardest part of your journey?” Or people say to me, “I could never do that.” But the truth is, you can if you really want to. You need to want to do hard things. And you should do hard things. [Music]
