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.
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.
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.
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.
