One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The latest adventure that I did with Cily has taken us on a bicycle ride from the North of Denmark to the Pyrenees in the south of France and then back up to Koln and from Germany to Greece near Turkey, via Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary and Austria. We came back from Greece cycling too along the mediterranean coast to Perpignan in France by the Pyrenees. That was 9months on the bike and 18 months in different countries. We camped everywhere railway station, beaches, garden, barns, abandonned buildings, parking lots and rooftops on the road and cooked our food on a homemade stove we built from a youtube video. We met hundreds of people, were threatened with being burnt alive (but he was joking ) partied in Greece, lived in ecovillages grew tomatoes , cucumbers and a host of other veg, ate mountains of porridge, 23Kg of butter fat and 7kg of goji berries (and a lot of other stuff with regular picnics at Lidl, ) and even found over 300euro lying on the road, that paid for 6 weeks of our trip!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I have been a vegetarien chef, I have experience in raw food preparation. I have also taught hatha yoga as well as diet and nutrition and detox cleansing programs. I have worked as a bicycle mechanic, a cocktail barman and done pizza delivery on a scooter aas well as worked in satellite transmissions.I like to repair and construct things .
