5000+ km Solo Bike Trip Across Europe

I’m embarking on a solo bike trip from Warsaw to the southernmost and westernmost points of Europe — Cape Marroquí in Spain and Cape Roca in Portugal. This 5000+ km journey will take me through 11 countries over two to three months, starting in May.

During this adventure, I’ll create videos, articles, interviews, and photos showcasing the lives of people across Europe. My goal is to show a world without borders, where barriers between people and cultures dissolve, fostering collaboration, understanding, and support. I want to share a vision of unity, especially for those behind the new "iron curtain." These stories will be shared regularly on social media (YouTube, Instagram, X) and my website.

Due to repression in Belarus, I lost all my property and can no longer visit my homeland. Through this journey, I aim to raise awareness about protecting fundamental human rights and freedoms, regardless of citizenship or skin color.

I’ll travel light, avoiding hotels and seeking to stay with farmers, hospitable locals, or at campsites. For me, this journey is not just about the road but about connecting with people, understanding their lives, struggles, and perspectives. I plan to organize meetups with locals, activists, journalists, and others if opportunities arise.

This project is alive and will evolve with every new place, person, and conversation. Each encounter will shape the stories I share. To keep you updated, I’ll post daily blog entries about my experiences.

I’ve compiled a list of essential gear for the trip: a touring bike, repair kit, tent, sleeping gear, weather-appropriate clothing, a camera for video, a power bank, and accessories like lights, maps, and spare tires.

To make this journey possible, I need your support. Your contribution will help me bring Europe’s stories to life and share a message of hope and unity.

Please support me if you can. I’m grateful for any contribution, big or small. If you have ideas or suggestions, feel free to message me privately.
