1 Month Until I Leave!

I'm flying to Frankfort Germany in 31 days! 

Europe has an interesting political climate at the moment. I am reading a bit about that and it's becoming clear that it isn't something I can figure out in a few hours: 

At the moment I'm a bit disinterested in cities, and am more excited for the countryside. 

I learned about the strange Christmas traditions of the Netherlands. What?!?!  This is Zwarte Piet. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwarte_Piet 

On the last bike trip I got in shape! I'm excited to get fit. Below is the before and after from last time:

2 Months Until I leave

Europe by bicycle. Sounds nice right? I'm pretty excited. 

I'm flying into Frankfurt, Germany on April 24th. I'm flying from Toronto because it's quite a bit cheaper than flying from Detroit. The flight was about $320, and it cost $100 to bring my bike with me. 

I'm still figuring out a lot of details, and I'll start posting what is going on in my brain and in my bags as I prepare in the next couple months. 

I'm watching a lot of content of other people's bicycle tours like this:

 

I'm thinking about buying some things like:

1. A pair of light running/walking shoes

2. A bicycle computer to measure miles

3. A Go-Pro Camera

4. A New helmet

5. MacBook Air 11 inch?

This one is cool because everything is geotagged!
