On the 11th of July - after 1 year and 10 months on the road - we arrived back home 🇧🇪🏠
Back in the country where this beautiful adventure began. An adventure that brought us closer to ourselves, to humanity, and to the present moment. It showed us what comfort and discomfort really mean, and how much we are capable of when we step outside our comfort zone.
From the outside, it might look like we travelled this road by ourselves. But that’s not how it feels.
It feels like we travelled with every single person we met along the way. From the millions of hello’s exchanged with strangers, to the meals we shared, the drinks, the short conversations, and the friendships that lasted a little longer. We carry a small piece of all these beautiful souls with us, just as we hope they carry a little piece of us.
And we also travelled with you.
To everyone who followed our adventure, sent us messages, encouraged us, and shared your incredibly kind energy—thank you. Without you, we honestly don’t think we would have travelled this far. Whenever the minutes turned into hours, the hours into long exhausting days on the bike, and we felt like giving up, there was always a message, a smile, or an unexpected encounter that gave us the motivation to keep going.
This adventure also wouldn’t have been possible without our most loyal companions: our bikes and bags. They were sometimes our best friends and sometimes our worst enemies, but they carried us through 20,214 km and 26 countries without ever letting us down. These beautiful machines connected one place to the next and allowed us to experience a world we could never have discovered any other way.
A very special thanks goes to 111 Shop by seaspeed for helping us choose the right equipment and sharing your advice before we left. Without you, this adventure wouldn’t even have started. Thanks to you, we made it all the way back to Belgium with the exact same setup we left home with.
Teşekkür ederim for your kindness
Mamnoon for your generosity
Dhanyavād for travelling with us
This is the end of this chapter, but definitely not the end of our journey
It’s only the beginning.
Shanti. Shanti. Shanti. ❤️
