In the last few weeks, I have dealt with the question of what comes next. Should I go back to China and cycle from there to Vietnam? Should I go to South America? Should I go to Europe and spend winter in warm countries? Not sure…
This cycling trip has been an incredible chapter in my life. I’ve made countless life experiences that nobody ever can take away from me. I am aware that I could experience so much more if I continue. And yet, I think that I have slowly reached the point where I can proudly say: I have enough for now. Certainly, I do not want this journey to become a mindless consumption of visiting countries, like a checklist. It’s time to end this trip here in Japan while I still tour with great relish. For the remaining weeks, I’ll do my best to share further updates with you.
The timing could then also be not much better. Christmas is slowly coming closer. The thought of being together with my family and friends at the festivities feels so indescribable good. It reminds me of one of those classic Christmas songs “I’m driving home for Christmas, yeah…“. Horrible and cheesy as sh**, I know.
