All the Way to the Arctic Ocean on the Dempster Highway
The name Dempster Highway almost makes it sound like a comfortable road north, but the reality is completely different. It is a long gravel road that, depending on the weather, turns either into a dusty line across the tundra or a muddy track. This time, I definitely...
Across Canada and Back to the Yukon
I have almost covered the first ten thousand kilometers. The cable I had been waiting for arrived as planned, so I could finally set off on the northern route I had not taken before. Before that, I met up with a friend in Ottawa and then headed north toward Val-d’Or....
Across the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec City, and Montreal
What started as a simple plan gradually turned into a multi-day loop through New Brunswick, the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec City, and Montreal. We had rain, long drives, beautiful views, ferries, waterfalls, and several places I would happily return to. A friend from...
Two Weeks in Canada and Getting Ready for the Road
Time here in Canada is flying by incredibly fast, and I can hardly believe it has already been almost two weeks since I arrived. The first few days were mostly about getting things sorted out: a local SIM card, buying a vehicle, insurance, registration, and gradually...
Last Week and Journey Recap
I’m writing this article from home, even though I had started preparing it earlier. On October 1st, I landed in Vienna, and everything went smoothly. During the last week, I changed the oil and the rear tire one last time, then went for a ride and visited a few...
The Circle Has Closed
On my way through Hancock, NY, I came across the start of the NE BDR, so I tried a section of it that was easy but beautiful. It was a warm day, and the sun lit up all the colors that autumn gives to the trees. On the way, I deliberately avoided the fastest route and...
Back to east through Chicago
My journey from Rock Springs heading east across all of Wyoming first led me to Points of Rocks, where the remnants of a stagecoach station are located. This station was roughly halfway along the route from east to west. Due to a lack of other options, I spent this...
And Now to The South
I haven’t written anything here for a while because I was out of signal range, and the mornings and evenings have become chilly, so I didn’t really feel like typing anything on the computer 😊. The oil change at my friends’ place in Nakusp went well. Thanks to them, I...
Rockies and ride there
I continued around the lake all the way to Thunder Bay, where I stopped again after years at the Terry Fox memorial. I visited both the place where his run began and where it ended. From there, I wanted to continue along a route unfamiliar to me, so I went to see...
Montreal, Ottawa, and the Beginning of the Great Lakes
In the end, I stayed in Montreal at my friend’s place until Wednesday. On Sunday, while changing the rear tire, I badly damaged the inner tube during installation, so I had to find a new one, which I only got on Wednesday. Thanks to that, I had more time to explore a...
On the route to Montreal
In the morning, when I set off on my journey, I was curious to see how far I’d get. I had taken Monday and Tuesday off so I could travel through this signal-free area. My first major stop ended up being in Labrador City, where I had lunch. At the PWR...
St. John’s and half of the Labrador
As I mentioned in my last post, on Monday I arrived in the capital city of St. John’s and found accommodation right in the city center in a beautifully renovated house. That evening, I went out to explore and walked through a significant part of the old town. This was...
Cabot Trail and Newfoundland
On Cape Breton, I continued along the Cabot Trail and spent the first night near a gypsum quarry, which is now flooded and makes for great swimming. On the way out, I laid the bike down for the first time because I decided to try a different route, which turned out to...
Finally on the Road
In the end, the longest part was getting the new tires to Halifax. But the very next day after receiving them, I jumped into replacing them. Unfortunately, I damaged one inner tube during the process, which delayed things by another day. After that, I was basically...
Again, in Canada
My first week in Canada passed quicky. I’ve managed to visit a few know places and friends. Also, I bought a motorbike I want to use for travelling (it’s Suzuki DR650 SE from 2014) and registered and insured it. I tried it also off-road on 70 km stretch between...
Roadtrip to the north
Another year passed and I haven’t published yet any record about my last year discovery trip to beauty of northern Europe. I prefer to write the posts after some time, but I feel this was too long. Anyway, I haven’t forgotten anything important, and I still have in a...
Amazing spring and GR221 on Mallorca
I started to write this post a while ago and I finally made myself to finish and translate it. Once the regulation around pandemic ceased, I wanted to do some hike across a mountain range. I found a friend who wanted to go, and we decided to try Mallorca's GR 221 at...
Hike across Nízké Tatry
This time I have another interesting story to tell here in such a short time. Before the Christmas a friend of mine contacted me to see if I would have a time after Christmas and before New Years Eve. He planned to hike across Nízké Tatry main ridge in four or five...
Iceland in winter
Maybe you could think based on checking this blog that I do not travel any more but it’s not true. I just didn’t had feeling to write anything about normal trips around for instance to High Tatras range in Slovakia and such weekend trips. Of course, it was beautiful...
Suwon and Seoul
I wanted to write one more post and I’m doing now when it’s a bit late. I was here at the beginning of the year. The weather was great and also it was a nice winter in the city. Hwahongmun bridge I was able to see interesting Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. Then Korean Folk...
Land of the setting sun
Last month I could finally get a chance to stay longer in Japan and see more of it then only Tokyo. My colleague was heading here later so we got together a week to explore a little bit of the country. Usually you will know Japan to be referred as a land of raising...
