Solitude, Strength, and Connection


Listen Later

Embark on an inspiring journey with Calliopé Georgousi, who traveled across 12 European countries, from the UK to Greece. Along the way, they navigated diverse landscapes, unexpected route changes, and found a balance between solitude and community. Through moments of vulnerability, resilience, and personal growth, the adventure showcases the transformative power of traveling alone and the profound connections forged with fellow cyclists and hosts.

Calliopé’s journey also offers practical tips for aspiring tourers, such as staying light on the road and coping with injuries, while emphasizing the importance of listening to your own rhythm. It celebrates the transformative impact of bike travel and serves as a reminder that the road is filled with beauty, unpredictability, and unforgettable moments.
