I'm searching for a travel mate to Spain
(10. 10. - 15. 12. 22)

I have been traveling extensively around the globe by bicycle and over the last 13 years - have been 7 years on the road. Very used to traveling alone - but yes, it can be more fun and an enriching experience to live through it with someone. If after reading my profile you think we could have a common base and we share similar interests - I would be looking forward to hearing from you. The plan is the cycle (bikepacking) from Zurich, Switzerland to Lisbon, Portugal. https://bikepacking.com/routes/european-divide-trail/ To me this trip looks pretty amazing with beautiful stretches of nature and giving the chance to explore large parts of Southern Europe - but equally demanding a rather high level of fitness and strength. I speak French fluently and enjoy being in France. Happy to discover more of Spain, I could also imagine switching to the "Santiago de Compostela" pilgrim way once in Spain - as it's more frequented and therefore more prone to lead to interesting encounters. For the case you feel attracted to this adventure but do not have the necessary gear to do it - I could help you to get it organized. I intend to start by early or mid October 2022 - the trip I assume could take up to two months to complete. In Winter 2022 I consider continuing to the Canary Islands and in Spring 2023 to Japan - for the case this would be of interest to you as well. https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/ivankoenig
