Dit keer een extra lange en extra spannende blog. Ik zou zeggen pak een kopje thee en ga er lekker voor zitten! Zoals je wellicht in mijn vorige blog heb gelezen vraagt een fiets reis om een gering aanpassingsvermogen. Dit werd afgelopen maanden nog even bevestigd. Na onze avonturen in Oman was het plan om terug te keren richting Iran. Daar werd echter een stokje voor gestoken. Nadat Trump had…
We komen aan in Teheran de hoofdstad van Iran. Het land waar zoveel om te doen is, kernwapens, vrouwenonderdrukking geregeerd door streng Islamitische dictatoren. Dit is een kant die men in het westen voornamelijk voorgeschoteld krijgt. Maar hoe is het om daar als westerling te zijn? Ik neem jullie mee achterop de fiets door dit bijzondere land. Om de strenge winter hoog in de bergen te vermijden nemen we…
Chapter 1. Jeej I’m on my way again. With mixed feelings I’m getting in the bus to get back where my journey ended. My bike is hanging on the back of the bus waiting for her first journey. My head is still spinning and energy is running trough my veins. After a impressive visit at the Princess Maxima Centre and saying goodbye to the lovely people around me, i look…
After my phone got robbed the drama continued. My worst nightmare became reality, my bike got stolen. When I was still recovering from the robbery i started looking for a new phone. I went to the city centre to a shop called Public in the most busy street of Thessaloniki. I locked my bike extra save with 2 locks and went into the store. When i came back I couldn’t…

The weather turned from bad to worse the further I traveled south, which was not very strange as the winter season has started in this area. I concluded I was in need of a place to stay for a longer while until the weather would allow me to travel again. I decided to…
It’s Christmas that means that we stand still and think about the people we have around us, the ones we love. We dress well, prepare the Christmas tree with lights and Christmas balls, prepare the most delicious food and eat and drink as never before. Under the Christmas tree or the socks at the chimney are stuffed with presents. A family sitting at the dining table with bright shining candles…
Being a wanderer Nine weeks ago I was packing my stuff for this big trip. Enthusiastic and ready to go on a adventure. At Last ready… I knew for the first night where I was going to sleep. I was going to travel to my good friend ‘Makz’, and stay over at his place in ‘Nijmegen’. Outside of these future plans, there were no other plans. Planning is not really…
Half October is left France and entered beautiful Switzerland. Just a couple km’s after the border i stopped for a meeting for which i was waiting for a long time. A meeting with someone who i met 1,5 years ago during a intense period in the green heart of the world, the Amazon. A place which changed life. I would like to take you back to the absolute start of…
