Was in iceland and bike broke last year

Just wanted to update people on what happened last year when my bike broke. Everyone said to keep going and get the bike fixed but I ended up throwing out the bike in some rural town in Iceland and got the first bus back to the capital

I then got chatgpt to plan a 2 week trip for me and went to Amsterdam Berlin Prague. I met my gf in Berlin who I’m still with now (6 months later) I cancelled an original flight to Paris and saw her in Vienna that trip too. She’s from Australia as well but differnet state so have been flying back and forth for the rest of last year.

What I realised was that bike packing is fun but connection with others and experience with others is a lot more fun. Solo anything is nice for a bit but it’s isolating and you gotta experience life and push yourself out of your comfort zone.

So glad the bike trip went wrong so everything could go right.
