Welcome to our little corner of the internet

A safe space to store a diary of our cycling + climbing trip in Greece.

Who are we?

A picture is worth a thousand words, so here is one of us.

Kathi is a chef and super passionate about food. Even more when its sustainable, seasonal and regional.

Dave is a data engineer who loves cycling in every form, spending time in nature and has a big interest in maps.

We met in Berlin a few years ago and, well, as they say the rest is history.

What is the plan?

Our plan is to travel overland to Leonidio in Greece, a town known for breathtaking geological formations. Plus it’s one of the places where oranges come from 🍊

We’ll take the train through the Alps to Ancona on Italy’s east coast. From there, we’ll board the ferry to Patras. Once we touch land, we’ll cycle our way across the Peloponnese, first following the “Land of Philosophers and Gods” section of the EuroVelo 8 cycle route, and then heading over the mountains to Leonidio.

Hopefully we get some dry weather because we are planning to do some rock climbing. Otherwise it’s about tasting all the local food, meeting the people that reside in the area, learning some history and really enjoying the slower pace of life.

We are lucky to have each other and to be able to do such a trip and recognize our privilege. We are also aware of the climate crisis and want to do our bit to reduce our carbon footprint. Thats why we are traveling overland and not flying.

Thats it for now, thanks for reading!

p.s The people around you are important, care for each other ❤️
