Preparing to sett off from bangkok! Company...a couple of butterflies in my stomach :)

For my family that want to hear fresh news from this amazing life journey, and for all friends ...specially for those that I would love to have here... side by side with me, on a bike, sharing each pedaling and these amazing Asian routes/roots.

Thoughts from fist days of the journey, lasts days of preparation…

My last 2 nights were spent in Bangkok and I’m feeling more and more on my skin that this is not a common holiday’s journey. Most of time I can’t focus on visiting the city and enjoying without escaping from worried toughs: “Is it missing something?” “Am I really doing this?”, “Which direction I will pedal as soon as I leave the office…right or left? “Will I be able to leave the city on the same day?...ufff it’s just to big…”.

Difficult to focus when I also have that much butterflies flying in my stomach, anxious to fly away for that big journey. Yes it’s true I do feel a bit anxious the last days, and sometimes my heart accelerates a bit as I imagine myself speeding down the south coast of Thailand ... so soon J

It feels good to settle down here for a few days before setting off; to be safe in the comfort and predictability of these streets for a few days before facing the road…

What I can say from this amazing city…I just love the food, the tuk tuks …always desperate to keep your attention and convince you to go somewhere; hummm the fruits everywhere, from any color and any kind, delicately sliced and put together in a bag so that you can take away and enjoy even more the amazing flavors of Bangkok streets. The amazing street food for less than 1 euro makes my meals so present and cheap….I love it!

Today it's time to finish the last groundwork before settling off from Bangkok tomorrow early morning… food box for three days is remaining. My bike is really heavy now… something that was almost chocking to me when I finally load everything and try to left it ….issshhhhh. First tough that came to my mind: …”I will fall from my bicycle in the middle of Khao San Road as soon as I seat and pedal for the first time. Second tough: “my support it’s not gona make it with so much weight…”

I keep trying to cut down on clothes but unfortunately I cannot have the pleasure of cycling the streets naked without being arrestedJ. I have the tendency to cut down on food too…but this is not a attitude that comes from a real luntra.

Let’s see tomorrow… I will definitely take too many or too less things. I will also leave very early to avoid the crazy traffic on the streets (and to see if there’s less eyes to testimony my first morning pedals eh eh).

Big love to everyone XXX
