PEJMA KE - IRIS & PRIMOZ
Hi, we’re Iris and Primož! We’ve started writing this blog to help us capture and share special moments of the journey that we’ve planned for the last couple of years. If that is something that would interest you to learn more about, join us and read along!
It all started in 2021, when we’ve met and decided to walk the main diagonal of Slovenia, from Lendava to Koper. 340 kilometers in a span of approximately two weeks. This experience left us looking for a greater challange, but this time, we decided to switch thing up and take a bicycle instead of our walking shoes.
Iris was already comfortable on the bike and she’d taken a two-month tour around Slovenia a couple of years earlier. Primož, on the other hand, haven’t sat on a bike for the last 10 years, which proved to be one of the many roadblocks on the way.
Eventualy, we have started to roughly plan out the route, where we’d like to go and what else would that type of trip require. Primož have bought himself a bike and a new internal joke was born: let’s cycle the world! That’s how an idea was planted in our minds. We slowly started to buy camping and biking equipment while we both still had to finish our degrees in college. Our dream was to try and live on a bike for a year.
In the august of 2022, around a year after our hiking trip, we’ve started a four-day bikepacking tour to Croatian island of Krk and back. This is when Primož got injured on a bike which have placed our grand plan in danger. A boring era of recovery and prevention of further injuries have began.
In september of 2023, an aditional year later, we’ve started our second test ride. This time, we visited Croatian islands of Krk, Rab and Cres with an intention of testing out our gear, gaining some experiences and collecting any feedback for aditional improvements. On this trip, we’ve also started writing blog about our experiences (Are we ready?) and started an Instagram account to share some photos.
Finally, after two and a half years of preparations, we’ve determined an approximate plan of our route and decided on a departure date. We’ve reached our budget goal and finished our degrees, now we’re ready to start our big adventure.
We will do our best to share our experiences on this blog with a plan to make weekly or bi-weekly updates while also sharing our everyday moments on Instagram.
How to get more of us ...
We try to regularly post our daily or weekly updates on instagram. There, you can also find some glimpses into our everyday life on the road, alongside any random or funny photo on our story.
There’s also an option to support us on our journey. We’re trying to travel low budget, but you can be the one who spoils us with an occasional hot cacao on the road!
