Start of a new chapter

I just want to start by apologizing for not updating this blog for quite a while.
I got back to Sweden two months ago now and a lot have happened since. One pf the reasons I flew home was to attend my sister’s wedding witch was a great event and I’m very glad I came home for it.
At the end of my trip through South East Asia the motivation to keep on cycling most days was getting less and less. I still loved travelling but to force you’re self to get on the bike and cycle through rain or burning heat you need to be very motivated. I knew when I got on that plane back home that I might not get back on the road again, at least not at this extent. I was okay with that and started to forward to other things in life except travelling. But the biggest reason why I now have decided to not continue my trip is for a reason probably many of you have made changes in life for; A girl.
Things have happened fast the last month and right now I’m sitting in my new apartment in Gothenburg to which I just got the keys to this Friday. It’s time for me to get back to a “normal” life, whatever that may be.
And I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been so lucky to be able to experience everything that has happened these last two years. Setting out on this trip has been the best decision of my life and something I will never ever forget. I have seen so much and met so many amazing people along the way. It feels like such a long time ago that I got on my bike back home in Skellefteå and rolled down the driveway of my childhood home. I have learned so much along the way and really grown as a person. I’ve overcome so many obstacles, cycled through storms and over mountains. But when I think back at the trip what I remember most is the people I met and friends I made. Travelling would be nothing if there weren’t all these amazing people to share it with. I would like to thank every one of you face to face again but that might not be possible. But I hope you know how thankful I am and I hope and think I’ll see many of you again.

And finally I would just like to thank you Julia for being who you are, for coming into my life and making it so much better!! :-)
