Cork to Belgrade FAQ

After I completed my bike trip I found a lot of the same questions popping up, so I thought I’d include them here. If you have any others, please feel free to leave a comment below!

How long did the trip take?

I was cycling for roughly 4 months.

How many kilometres did you travel?

When searching for camping sites, backtracking and long-cuts are factored in, the figure rose above 4000km.

What countries did you travel through?

Ireland(!), France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Serbia.

Where did you sleep?

The majority of nights were spent in a tent. In Ljubljana I stayed with friends in an apartment, and in Bosnia people were often nice enough to invite me into their homes.

Was it difficult?

I wouldn’t say so. If you’ve ever gone for a bike ride before, and gone camping before, then you’re basically just doing both of those two things repeatedly. You don’t have to cycle a long distance in a day if you don’t feel like it!

Any plans for the future?

Cork to Cape Town, or perhaps South America – the winter will be spent gathering funds and deciding! I would love to ultimately find some work in the adventure world, and I’ve just ordered myself a video camera with the intention of producing a documentary about my next adventure.
