Ever wanted to go bikepacking on the European Divide Trail? It's the longest continuous off road route that crosses the European continent and this week Romanian bikepacker Mircea Arǎmescu is sharing with us his experiences from riding it this year.

Mircea is also the youngest person to have ridden the trail and he tells us all about his experiences specifically at the northern part of the trail. You can find Mircea on instagram via his account - @Mircea0907

I’m joined by Heinz Stücke, the world’s most travelled cyclist, to reveal how a one-year bike trip became 51 years of cycling the world. This is part 1 of 2 from our conversations.

Huge thanks to Lizzie Jenkins who filmed our session. Check her out on insta - @Lizzie_Jenkins_Film

Listen If:

You love a good “how on earth did that happen?” travel story, you’re craving a nudge to shake up your routine, or you want to hear from someone who chose perpetual travel and adventure over the expected path in life.

Key Takeaways:

• Start small, then keep going.
  Heinz didn’t set out to travel for 51 years, he just kept saying “yes” to the next road.
• People make the journey.
  The most important aspect for Heinz were the encounters, kindness, and tiny moments he collected with people.
• Movement clears the mind.
  For Heinz, cycling was his “yoga.”
