We wanted to spend just one more night in Lithuania before arriving in Russia, but things don’t always go according to our plan. We had to stay one extra night.

Both of us have relatives with disabilities and during our trip we didn’t only want to explore beautiful Sweden but even cycle for those who cannot … Continue reading The Mighty Ride supports SOS Children’s Villages
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step Confucius The most important thing is not to think too much about the round the world journey as a complex trip but to take the first steps towards day 1: Get some inspiration from other touring cyclists; See what kind of equipment they use; … Continue reading How to start a round the world cycle expedition?

I, Valentin, was sitting home alone New Year’s Day of 2018 and was thinking to myself… One more year has gone by and I have fulfilled my dreams: I have a good job, I have a nice apartment, I have the best friends one can wish for and I have visited some terrific places in … Continue reading It all started when… (part 1)
