You have a point too 😊 I feel that those of us that were teenagers in the sixties and seventies had an easier time getting out on the road than generations before and after us… and if there’s any way I can pay that forward, then it’s a privilege to do so.

edit: This is a just a response to people saying "just strap your bag onto a bike and go". Yes, that can still be done of course, but I don't think it's as easy now as then for many reasons. If "overthinking it" is necessary for someone to get out there, then overthink it! Then strap your bags to your bike and go
