Bicycle, Backpack, Tent: Part One: Through Europe
By: Finnian McKeown
Having been a student in Scotland for five years with summer spent in Ireland, and previous experience when it comes to recreational ‘activities’, there was a desire to take the newly acquired bicycle from Scotland to Netherlands via bus, of course visiting Ireland beforehand to say goodbye as there was no end in sight, there was no plan, a matter of bicycle, backpack, tent and the open road. There wasn’t even a smartphone on person which was destroyed weeks previously when exercising in a local gym and the weights were dropped on top of the phone by accident and with money limited, could only purchase a candy bar style phone which received no signal outside of Ireland/Scotland.
When it came to funding, this session of travel was funded via the student overdraft which was maxed out, they paid off by working two jobs in Scotland as a student.
