Hello world!
As most of you probably know, I've spent my last two summers riding a bicycle through beautiful California(not to forget the half day actually in Nevada).
It has always been hard to decide for a certain route. After my first trip in 2011 I really wanted to do the Transam. Coast to Coast - the holy grail for many bicycle traveleres.
I spent hours calculating days and miles but at the end I had to learn that there just wasn't enough time for such a long trip. Therefore I chose to stay in California, where I had a amazing time.
However, doing the Transam always was in my mind.
Time wouldn't be the problem in 2013, but money in fact is.
Weeks ago I had already accepted not to see my beloved United States this year, I couldn't see a way to fund it. But yesterday night my mind changed. I couldn't sleep, so I randomly switched through the one million channels my TV offers.
As always - I stoped as I saw some US streets on the screen. The show turned out to be a documentary of some friends doing a road trip from New York to San Francisco reenacting Jack Kerouac's famous book "On the road".
All those wonderful memories from my very own experiences on the road came into my mind and it took only few minutes to be sure:
There's no way not to spend another summer in the US.
Money? I decided to sell most of my belongings. I wouldn't be able to use much of that stuff during the next years and I always prefer memories over interchangeable goods.
The decision I had to make was to own amplifiers, loudspeakers and things like that or to let my dream come true.
I've made my decision.
