Day 07
Starting such a big journey is really tough. I didn’t realised it last week, but it really seemed that I wasn’t ready. not from the planning side, although you could always find something to optimise still, but from the emotional part. I finally overcame the fear of really starting alone hitting the road fully and embrace myself to the pure loneliness and rough unknowing of being out there. But when I finally made it yesterday it blew all the lethargic excuses for not finally starting really away. And ones your rolling, you’re rolling and it seems like nothing can stop you. I found this quote of Albert Einstein for the last video I made (check it if you haven’t yet, link to my YouTube channel in my bio): life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you need to start moving.
Yesterday it was a tough start. It began with taking a risky path into the forest which ended in the middle of nowhere. But ones on the road my mood got better and better. After a break near a lake I decided to go all in to take the mild evening to finally do the 70km I set for myself as a daily goal. I found an ok place to sleep, but instead of just falling to bed, which was very tempting, I decided to properly care for myself and make a nice candlelight dinner. It would have been just perfect, when I wouldn’t have checked the weather before going to bed. I thought It wouldn’t be raining for sure, since there was a pure sky with trillions of stars. Putting up the roof for my hammock was not very nice in the middle of the night without being able to see anything, but it was definitely worth it since the alternative would have been to wake up soaked at 7.

The first week is over and there is a lot to come! I’m super exited, specially to announce, that I will do a little live stream concert from the forest on Sunday (tomorrow) at 18pm (Latvian time) I will answer all questions concerning my trip and hope to get the first donations. You can find the link to my twitch in my bio. So save the date and put some beers cold, so we can have a cosy concert tomorrow.Read more
