It's only been four months and eight days...

...yet I feel my experience grows within me.

I had many feelings before and during my trip, while editing of my videos and photos and after viewing the result. One of them was that I felt my adventure lacked interesting content when it came to people watching it and reading about it.

I don't feel that any more. My brother asked recently if I was about to start making the shortened, boiled down version and I was like yeah, some time for sure but it feels daunting.

After thinking about it some more I don't think I wan't to do it like that because it would be something done for someone else and not for me. This trip of mine isn't a commercial for bicycle touring it's a glimpse into my life and an adventure I never thought I would dare doing. I enjoy seeing how I develop not only a slight tan ( or rust, you decide ) but also a diffrent way when talking to the camera, I enjoy how little of what I actually did was planned when shooting video and how I remember the feeling of when I fixed the camera to a branch genlty moving by the wind as I ate salami and drank a beer.

I have enjoyed getting views and comments on my videos but most of all I have enjoyed having them, they are a treasure to me and even tho the trip is relativly short it's filled with experiences and memories that will only get stronger with time.

If you have a dream don't let it stay a dream, dare to fulfill your dream.

Since coming home my life has changed quite a bit, I have met a wonderful girl whom I hold very dear, I have had an amazing summer and I now enjoy everyday life with my M.

It's a wonderful feeling when you look at someone and you feel your soul and heart feels like a carbonated soft drink that bubbles, expands and sparkles... I wish you that very feeling.
