My trip around the world by bicycle came to an end. It took me three and a half years (two and a half on the road) and I cycled 39 346 km. I want to say a big thank you to everyone who accompanied and shared time with me. I absolutely do not regret that I did it and I want to encourage everyone just to do things and not to think too much about it. I am happy nothing really bad happened and that not too much changed at home.

Now I am back in Austria and will start a new life soon …
