I was driving back home from where I went to uni at, to back home-home, and I was waitng in a queue for a roundabout when the traffic became busy. And there it rolled in, a laden motorbike rolled to a halt in the lane beside me, on it’s back was the main rider with a female passenger. You could see they were on the move from all the things they were carrying.

And off went the imagination in my head the idea, the concept of always being on the move carrying just what you needed. So here I was formulating a plan, an idea, the concept of travelling through Europe on a bike. I had never ever had any interest in traveling in europe at all, it had always been australia first. But now here I was with the desire to grab everything and just set off.

But since then I have had the idea stuck in my head, and I am determined to do it. I already have a pretty likely travelling partner for the journey so will see.
