I visited the northernmost point of the German mainland, then cycled across a border on an international trip—last year I took the ferry, lame huh? I saw Ribe, the oldest town in Denmark, and tried the Danish shelter system for the first time. It’s awesome. But the most important part: no daily destination. Just a rough idea and a shelter spot to sleep in when I’m tired. No anxiety, no hotel needed—though probably no showers in the upcoming days either. :D
