LAST WORDS/DERNIERS MOTS




This trip was quite rewarding at all stages. Doing it in bicycle made it again richer and original. Indeed, bicycling is a perfect way to take his time gazing at all the landscapes around as well as shaping a sporting experience and a strong mind.
In one hand, this journey made us learn about how to handle things into the wild with sometimes a few tools in our pockets. Even though it wasn't really easy every day, the kindness of the kiwis, the beauty of all these landscapes and the achievement of our challenge made us growing up.
On the other hand, mutual help was also here.  We helped each other out, never letting down someone behind us. If one of us had got an issue, it concerned all the group.
This trip taught us also to be patient but above all to surpass ourselves and put aside our little routine and every day's whims.
Eventually, the best feeling ever was that huge and powerful feeling of freedom. We were able to get anywhere, whenever. That was amazing ; every single day was different. No space for any routine to set up.
Even though I don't imagine all my life to be this way, I think important to try to do it, even if it takes only 2 weeks or one month. Whatever the way you choose to do it : cycling, driving or walking, regardless, the human being has to know this pure feeling of freedom at least once in his life.
