What do you do after finishing uni? If you’re Coline Berret, you skip the "real world" job and spend four years pedaling across the globe instead.

We’re diving into an epic 35,000-kilometer journey that spans 29 countries. This isn't just a stats dump, though; it’s a deep look at what happens when you swap a career ladder for a bicycle and an open mind.

In our conversation, we chat about:

• The Big Detour: Why taking the path less traveled (literally) is the ultimate education.
• Radical Hospitality: From cozy saunas with strangers to the incredible kindness of the global community.
• The Traveling Companion: The story behind the iconic Muppet tagging along for the ride.
• Life in the Slow Lane: How 29 countries and four years on the road can completely reshape your worldview.

Whether you’re dreaming of your own cross-continental trek or just need a dose of "humanity is actually pretty great" vibes, this conversation is for you. Grab a brew and join us in the slow lane!
