For all of you who travelled with me

For all of you who travelled with me for the last 20 days, I would like to say that last night I safely returned home. It has been a wonderful journey. And even though I cycled solo I never felt alone. Even when it was getting dark and I still haven’t arrived at safe place to stay for the night, I felt safe within. Thank you for all your lovely words wishing me a good journey or words of encouragement in hard moments  
 
On the photo you can see two bracelets that I wore on my wrist during my ride as my ‘amulets’. The silver one is made with link from Maja Włoszczowska ’s bike chain that she used in Rio Olympics when she won silver medal along with words from her coach - “Just do your job”. I look at those words whenever I find myself stuck and think I just must do the best I can. The other bracelet has attached Anahata (heart chakra) symbol. Anahata Chakra which means ‘unstruck, unhurt and unbeaten’ is known as the balance point of all seven Chakras. The heart is the organ which is always associated with unconditional love and kindness. As I was traveling through, admiring beauty of places, experiencing kindness of people and animals and remembering all of my friends, I kept glancing at my two bracelets and was filled with gratefulness and kept on smiling. People keep asking me why do I travel alone. It never feels alone to me all things that matter the most to me I always carry with me… in my heart. Thank you!
