Was ich anders machen würde

Hier sind ein paar Dinge die ich anders oder wieder genauso machen würde:

-Ausrüstung:

-zusätzliches Tretlager mitnehmen und passenden Adapter. Jedes Tretlager gibt irgendwann auf. Das Chris King Lager leider schon in Ghana

-genug Ersatzpneus mitnehmen

-Schraubenzieher mit Bitaufsatz anstelle normaler Werkzeuge oder eines Multitools verwenden

Tablet anstelle eines schweren Laptops

Unbedingt Gewicht der Elektronik reduzieren. Weniger Kameras, nur ein einzelnes Gps und vor allem weniger Batterien mitnehmen. Wiederaufladbare Batterien sind aber trotzdem eine tolle Sache

-Keine Bücher mitnehmen

-Sitzkissen mitnehmen

-einen auf den Hintern angepassten Sattel mitnehmen

-mehr Tonaufnahmen auf dem MP3 Recorder machen.

-Von Anfang an eine schöne Website aufbauen

- Ich würde mich auf maximal 3 Kanäle wie Instagram, Polarsteps, Website einlassen. Diese gesamte Berichterstattung frisst viel zu viel Zeit.

I would like to thank all my sponsors for their generous material and immaterial support.

Krapf Radsport in Bischofszell which is supporting me with spares and help.

Aarios, the company which built my bike and has often taken me out of the shit with their quick and reliable support.

Computerfritz which is helping me with the website and gives me support for all the IT questions.

Catherine Tschirky who did the french translations on the Website.

And especially, Pauline who is always supporting and helping me.

Radsport Krapf Aarios Computer Fritz

It isn't easy to fund a three years journey and to do it all without support. There are a lot of unexpected expenses, and to coveer these, i am really thankful for every kind of support.

 As a general rule of thumb, will I only accept sponsoring from companies of which I am confident and have good products. In return for a sponsorship, I can offer a space on my trikot, my panniers, a banner on the website and beeing mentioned once I do the presentations and also in the book which I intend to publish.
