Welcome to our trip stories! We are leaving in less than 20 hours; if you know us you will imagine we are quite in a rush… the site will be improved – we promise – be patient! For the ones not confident in English, we will try to make Bulgarian and French page but you have to wait middle of October. Till then you will practice your English!

Thanks to all who did not manage to convince us not to go for the trip, thanks to all who helped with advises – useful or not, thanks to velokraft and Kamil for the bikes, thanks to the bike shop in Lozenec, Sofia, thanks to mamush and tatko for being so patient (imagine 60 sq m flat invaded by 4 people with 4 big bikes and a lot of messy stuff), thanks to Dad and Cec, to Mum, to Ves and Des, Vladko …

Damien escaped to France, he left us alone in Kiev and he set us a task to write why we want to travel around the world…

When I was a kid I wanted to discover unknown plants, after I wanted to be archeologyst to discover very old and very interesting findings, after I wanted to become a doctor to discover the illnesses of the people and at the end I became an accountant. Eh, like that I also discover from time to time new thing in the Balance sheets and the reports but I am wondering who needs that. I think that with this trip Around the world I will have time to travel inside me and to discover the girl who wanted to discover different things. I will have time to think about nothing and like that I will become wiser because I will notice everything. Like a very famous friend of mine was telling (he has read it in some wise book and now he pretends it’s his own thought) – ‘One man was having a walk in the park and another – in his mind’. Perhaps I will even manage to discover the secret of the kids: to live today and not yesterday, and not tomorrow. This certainly will make me so transparent that it will be possible to see all the world thorugh me, the whole world.

When I was a small girl I was afraid from the deep of the sea and I was always going deeper and deeper in order to stop to be afraid. I did not manage to stop to be afraid – I continued to be scared but I also continued to go deeper. Until I grown up. Then I stopped to try. Or at least not with the same eagerness. I want to stop to be afraid: from tomorrow, from the dark, from people, from ill cats and dogs, from the global warming, from war, from illness, from difficult tasks, from death, from life. Awfully much time is lost in fear and I am 35 and a half already.

I always hoped that if nothing helps, some tibetian monk will teach me how to become wiser. But now I think that I will learn that from my kids – Mira and Sashko, from the bikes, from Damien, the tent, the dusty road, some kid from Madagascar, a new flavour of a new fruit, an old bus crapping slowly on a very long road, from some half blind grand mother sitting under the sun in front of her shaby, half ruined house, from something which I managed to plant and to grow, the flavour of the pain from the absense of my friends around me and the happiness that I have them. I will have the whole time in the world to watch the world around me. 

Nina.

vaccins,  medical health kit, prophylaxis against malaria ...

we'll do it but give us some more time...

we'll do it but give us some more time...

let's say that half of the budget was for the preparation (insurance, plane tickets, vaccins, bikes, clothes and equipements, ...),

second half will be for the daily life;

you can have a look of the bikes in the album photo;

we'll do it but give us some more time...
