Tajikistan, Part II

Chapter C – Khorug, the Atomic Imam and the Wakan valley So first of all, someone told me that I ended up with a little cliff hangar in the previous post, when I wrote that Khorug is a wonder city in my opinion. It is indeed, but maybe for reasons that you'll find less exciting thanהמשך לקרוא "Tajikistan, Part II"

Tajikistan, Part I

[A big fat thanks goes to Anna Palmann for editing the post] So I recently received feedback from a friend about the blog, which I think is worth quoting in full- "Maybe write a little more about what's going on with you personally? Difficulties, experiences, meetings with people and such? And photos! Of you! Andהמשך לקרוא "Tajikistan, Part I"

Belgium

The monuments were one of the first things that caught my eye when I entered Eastern Belgium. Not since Kosovo and/or Croatia have I seen so many soldiers' monuments in village centers. Belgium in general has always been one of the favorite battlefields of modern Europe, from Waterloo in the Napoleonic Wars through the Trench Wars inהמשך לקרוא "Belgium"

05 – Three months and 4000 km in

In the previous post, long time ago , I promised that if nothing surprising will happen, I would write a few words about life on the road. "Nothing surprising will happen." ha ha Well, it's really not surprising, because anyone who knows me knows that my time management is appalling, and I've just been busy chasing myהמשך לקרוא "05 – Three months and 4000 km in"

03 – Bulgaria

[originally posted in hebrew on 26/05/2022] Right left right in the hills of Bulgaria Bulgaria started on the right foot (then left, then right, then … sorry, I'll stop). As I crossed the border I was able to find a cappuccino (I hate Turkish coffee), immediately afterwards I came across a spring festival in some villageהמשך לקרוא "03 – Bulgaria"

what's the deal with Luxembourg

I came to Luxembourg with one aim – to understand what this tiny country is all about. Only this tiny size seems so… strange, between the two huge territories of Germany and France. As a resident of a country that doesn't exactly manage to get its name within its territory on world maps, and knowing that thereהמשך לקרוא "what's the deal with Luxembourg"

02 – Ups and downs in Thrace

[originally published on may 19 2022] [Editor's note – I'm way beyond Edirne, but due to reasons of, well, inability to manage time reasonably, I've already written most of this post in Edirne, but haven't gotten around to publishing it (pictures are always the problem). But it's already written, and while some things are noהמשך לקרוא "02 – Ups and downs in Thrace"

01 – On the road again

[originally posted in hebrew on 30.04.2022] So… me and the bike went on the road for a while. Summary of matters so far 7 months ago, after Rosh Hashanah (jewish new year) 2021, I crossed a small but significant personal Rubicon for me. I went into an bi-annual review with my team leader and after weהמשך לקרוא "01 – On the road again"

08 – Italy

I think that when I look at my trip, Italy was a place I didn't enjoy most of the time, and that after the Balkans, felt like a dip in the trip. It took me a while to define why, because there were several reasons, and I will try to explain it to myself and toהמשך לקרוא "08 – Italy"

04 – Macedonia

Summary of the previous and next chapters Okay, so this post is going to include very little cycling and bike talk, because it's going to be mostly about the wonderful entity that is the country of Macedonia and especially its capital, Skopje, but I do feel obligated to do a quick recap of where I'veהמשך לקרוא "04 – Macedonia"
