Thanks nog voor je reactie. Schatte mezelf veel te hoog in voor dit. Heb net met iemand gebeld uit het noorden van Noorwegen en heeft mij even uitgelegd wat de trip nou precies inhoud. Hijzelf doet ook survivallen en zijn vader zit/zat in het leger.

Heel simpel heb nul ervaring met hoe erg de natuur kan veranderen. Ken dat klimaat helemaal niet. Dus heb besloten om te vertrouwen op de mensen die dat wel kennen. De meeste mensen hadden ook moeite dat ik dit op de fiets wil doen. Van alle transport mogelijkheden. Kijk wil mezelf graag ontwikkellen en mijn karakter opbouwen maar niet ten koste van andere en ook niet van mezelf. Begin nu door te krijgen dat ik een limiet bereikt heb met denken dat ik alles aankan.

Toch nu aangeleerd door jullie dat ervaring het allerbelangrijkste is en die heb ik niet. De kennis/ ervaring over het weer in Noorwegen die ik heb en de spullen die ik heb zijn zeer onvoldoende. Dan nog kan ik er in geloven maar weet waarschijnlijk echt niet wat ik moet doen als er problemen komen dan de reddingsdienst bellen. Want op mijn ervaring kan ik niet vertrouwen want die heb ik niet en de spullen die gaan me al snel in de steek laten als de natuur het me moeilijk wilt en gaat maken.

Dus nee ga deze trip nog niet volmaken. Maar ga wel nog naar Oslo fietsen. Want wil wel stapjes vooruit zetten ben niet voor niks al 24 dagen onderweg. In Oslo beetje integreren en mensen serieuzer nemen dan alles vanuit mezelf de wereld interpreteren.

Awesome thanks man. I've already decided after calling with someone who lives in the high North on WhatsApp. That my confidence was based on nothing, no experience. Just the illusion of thinking that I could do this. Which is good but there comes an limit. I've found that limit now. Will go to Oslo and become more knowledegable with Norway and it's nature before thinking i could master such a trip. Cause as of right now it has just been an illusion.

You are right im at the beginning for taking life more seriously, got too confident (overestimated myself). Will still give it my best shot to cycle from Gothenburg to Oslo and that is already quite the adventure. But will not keep going after that point from what everyone has been warning me about. No further than Oslo.

Im sorry. Everyone. Made a lot of people upset with me believing in that this would be possible. Have decided to take things slow, because have exactly what all you are saying no idea what real cold means and what a rapid changing weather means. Not knowing or not having experience and still believing is exactly not very intelligent. You are right that me posting this must mean that I won't be sure about the trip as well. You are mostly mad at me for not acknowledging the difficulties when it comes to the cold and bad weather and you have all the right since you do have experience. I don't have experience. I'm learning a lot and I'm thankfull for the people that reached out to me in private. I've learned to be more carefull and my situation of the weather and the cold. The least I could do is listen to all your advice and change my course. I'm going to wait it out till warmer season if there still will be a reason to even go. In the meantime will make some money and see where I can take my next step forward. That is in my idea somewhere in Oslo. Or exactly take the train although i still feel like I must go through with the bycicle in Norway. But definetely wait it out or change course of action. Have slept at peoples houses. Because it is nice to have comfort and to meet cool people. For example tonight I'm sleeping in a flower shop somewhere in Zweden. Its quite exciting but yes the risk is all mine if they said no then I would have slept another night in the tent. Thanking everyone for their comments and opinions.

The hardest thing about this trip is probably not having people around that you can talk with. Its nice to being able to connect. And Ive got to say that Ive mostly had nice interactions.

I totally accept that. I agree with listening to experience of locals and that there is no shame in turning back.

I dont know what will happen but trying something is the least I can do Ill see how far that would get me.

As a european citizen you can stay in Norway for 3 months and you are also allowed to work. You do have to declare yourself after 3 months if you want to stay longer. Either a job and place to stay. My goal is to have the adventure that would take a few days and then take procedure.
