In the spring of 2022 I joined my former student orchestra on tour to play in Germany and Czech Republic. This 11-day cycle tour turned out to be a great alternative for sitting in the bus for a couple of days - although my tuba preferred the orchestra van over my bike's luggage carrier.

Trying to cycle to Italy
Jul 2020 - Aug 2020

My first big trip, in which I tried to cycle to Italy on my old beloved high school bike. Unfortunately the bike collapsed at 2500m above sea level, albeit with a great view from the Glockner Hochalpenstraße. Continuing my journey by car and bus was not as much fun, so on my way back I bought a second-hand bike in a student shop in Innsbruck, to cycle back home along the Rhine.
