Euro Tour: Planning and Prepping

Packing my panniers like...

When I was nineteen, I had to decide whether to go Interrailing around Europe with my girlfriends or to go to Guatemala with my then boyfriend. I choose the later and once my friends came back with Euro hair (asymmetric cuts and short fringes) I never regretted that decision until really recently. I’ve seen a lot of the world but very little of Europe. I thought that before my passport turns to dust I should make the most of having freedom of movement and cheap roaming data charges and go on tour.

That time I cycled to Amsterdam and didn't come back with a drug story

I would have got there much sooner had I not stopped to take a picture of every windmill I saw.

When you tell people that you have never been to Amsterdam and are going to cycle there, they all tell you their Amsterdam drug story. Seriously, even your gran has one and they are all the same. They start with a café and end with a freak out. All of them.
