You’re four days out of London, somewhere in northern France, and every evening you check in with your body to decide how far you’ll ride tomorrow. Nobody is telling you where to be. This is your life now.
Milica Kovačević was commuting through London on her bike, listening to this podcast for inspiration to take her own bike adventure. Then she decided it was time to leave the city, and that’s when she started dreaming about cycling from London to Vukovar, Croatia, where her grandmother and mother are waiting for her.
Milica let’s us know how she prepared for the trip, including practicing bike mechanics on friends’ bikes before she left, and how she plans out her days on the road. She also shares about the nervousness that creeps in the days leading up to going, and how turning the pedals is the best way to rid yourself of them.
This is the first of several check-ins as Milica makes her way across Europe. Follow along as she rides home.Topics covered: Follow Milica’s journey on instagram via : @2Wheels1Milikov
