Guest Wiebke Lühmann's passion for adventure has led her to embark on a staggering 20,000-kilometer cycling journey from Freiburg to Cape Town. During this episode she talks about how embracing the unknown is at the very essence of cycle travel and how she has found her own personal strength in solitude, navigating the diverse and challenging landscapes of Europe and Africa. From sandstorms through the Sahara to navigating challenging border crossings it's clear that this adventure through West Africa is one filled with experiences so vast and with the wet season looming she is readying herself for the adventures still to come.
I spoke to Wiebke while she was in Conakry, Guinea, as she makes her way down the West African coastline on a journey which will take over a year to complete. Weibke shared how her previous endurance background has shaped her approach to overcoming obstacles on this adventure. This isn't her first long distance bicycle journey. She previously spent over 7 months travelling through South America, and in 2022 she cycled from Hambug to the North Cape in Norway - a journey which was documented beautifully in the film On her Own.
