This morning’s breakfast came with a side of inspiration! I caught up with Flora, the amazing German woman I met yesterday. She’s on a sabbatical from the German Police Force after 11 years of service and will be turning 30 in just two days. 🎉
Her plan? Oh, just a casual ride from Germany to Istanbul, then fly her bike to India, spend a couple of months exploring, and cycle all the way back home. No big deal, right?
Her fully loaded bike tips the scales at a whopping 60kg — so yes, when the hills get steep, she earns every pedal stroke (and sometimes a few steps pushing it too!). 🚴♀️💪
What a powerhouse of determination and adventure — breakfast conversations don’t get much more inspiring than that!
