    7: Bike Trip On a Budget

    We always raise the question of how to make budget travel even more budget-friendly... In this episode, we discuss the experience of traveling across two countries for 6 days on a bike, with a tent and a sleeping bag, and without much plans for where to spend the night. Is it worth it? Does solo travel mean you'll be alone on the journey? What to trust if you don't trust your bike?  While we're trying to figure that out... Hop in! P.S. For those who are interested in the journey from this episode, some useful information: The 1st bike path - "Alpe Adria" Start point- Jesenice, Slovenia (D-2 -> FVG 2) Through Kranjska Gora, Slovenia -> Tarvisio, Italy -> Stazione di Chiusaforte -> Moggio -> Venzone -> Udine -> Palmanova -> Sistiana -> Trieste.
