Journey to myself

I woke up this morning at my beautiful tranquil campsite, unzipped the tent, lied back down and watched the Mediterranean Sea and the colours of the sky change. Then I got up dismantled the tent half way, so people wouldn’t see, the red colour of the tent, from the street above me. I continued my…

I woke up early in Zadar and had a slow morning- Breakfast, coffee, reorganising bags. After that, I went to explore Zadar. I wandered through the streets, bought some local olive oil on the market, stocked up on protein bars for upcoming challenging days. Then I treated myself to a burger and some truffle fries…

I woke up well rested, after about 10 hours of sleep. I thanked my campsite for the shelter it provided. Even the wind had subsided overnight and with it my inner storm. When I stepped out of my tent I was surrounded by the silver blue Mediterranean Sea. When I looked around my tent, I…

I woke up in Ravni Dabar on my mattress on the floor of a mountain hut. The night was hot, as the oven was running throughout the night. However, I much preferred that to the freezing temperatures outside. During breakfast I spoke to the Croatian mountain climbers. Some were astounded, that I came to Ravni…

My first night in my tent in the mountains of Velebit was quite cold and uncomfortable. Early in the morning I quickly disassembled my tent, so the park rangers wouldn’t catch me. Afterwards I moved with my bike to a bench with a view over the mountains, trees and limestone rocks. The sun was rising…

I woke up in my cosy bed in Villa Magdalena in Sveti Juraj, after a short night, since I was texting with some Australian friends before sleeping. When I opened the shutters of my small window, I was astounded by the view that awaited me. I was looking right on to the Mediterranean Sea, boats…

“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth, growth must be chosen again and again, fear must be overcome again and again”, I have this quote, by Anthony Maslow, written on a post it, hanging on my kitchen cupboard, in my home in Sydney. It was a daily reminder for me.…

My night in Stivan at my hosts Kira and Toby’s place has been cosy and very quiet. I got up with the first light at 6:30, Toby and Kira were still sleeping. So I was making the most of the time doing yoga, journaling, drinking tea. Today six weeks ago, I started my journey in…

My night wasn’t very uncomfortable in the woods of Cres, as in the dark I set up my tent on a slope. Lying in the tent I could hear the deer surrounding me. Sneaking out of the tent, I spotted them in the distance. I felt like being in a magical forest, the ground covered…

I woke up early in the morning, after a cosy night on a bed of pines, at the south end of Kamenjak. I packed my bags and moved with my bike to the seaside for breakfast. Afterwards I went on a mission – the mission was to find my cycling top, which I lost somewhere…
