What if we could live differently? Abandon fear and follow the unknown? These questions long time ago appeared in the head of two young girls from Poland - Nikol and Aleksandra. One day, they decided to sacrifice their lives for seeking the answer. Nikol dropped out of college, focused on self-development and moved to a castle in Westphalia. Aleksandra, after finishing the high school, packed all belongings into a backpack and with a one way ticket headed alone to Iceland, then stopped in England and visited several European countries. Few months ago, she met Nikol and decided to join forces.

Our goal is to cycle through the Balkans during the winter time, exploring as many National Parks and mountains ranges as possible. But the real aim is the journey itself. We want to discover the places that are still unknown, push own limits and grow through the hardships of the trip. We want to prove that the impossible doesn't exist and thus inspire others to follow their own path.

    Projekt naszej wyprawy zakłada rowerowy przejazd przez Bałkany zimą z naciskiem na eksplorację terenów naturalnych (parków narodowych, łańcuchów górskich). Jednak celem jest przede wszystkim podróż sama w sobie. Pragniemy odkryć miejsca, które wciąż owiane są tajemnicą, przesuwać granice własnych możliwości i wzrastać wewnętrznie poprzez trudy wyprawy. Chcemy udowodnić, że niemożliwe nie istnieje i w ten sposób zainspirować innych do podążania własną drogą.
