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, especially when it’s sustainable, seasonal and regional.

Dave is a data engineer who loves cycling in every form, spending time in nature and has a pretty 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 (nice rocks). 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 be cycling our way across the Peloponnese, first following the “Land of Philosophers and Gods” section of the EuroVelo 8 cycle path, then heading over the hills to Leonidio.

Fingers crossed we get some dry weather because our aim is to go rock climbing. Beyond that, it’s about tasting all the Greek food, trying every fresh fruit + vegetable in sight, meeting the locals, learning some history and simply enjoying the slower pace of life together.

We are honestly lucky to have each other and to be able to do such a trip, and we recognize our privilege. We are also aware of the climate crisis and want to do our bit to reduce our carbon footprint in our pursuit of fun 🍊 That’s why we are going overland instead of flying.

Sooooo that’s it for now, thanks for reading!

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