Un sogno su due ruote / A dream on two wheels

E sopratutto di me.

Creativa e dall’animo un po’ insicuro e naive, a luglio 2018 ho lasciato il mio lavoro per sei mesi per realizzare un sogno nel cassetto: un viaggio in solitaria alla scoperta del mondo.

15/02/2026

When was the last time you learned something new?

For me, a very long time ago. I had probably forgotten how fascinating and frustrating it can be at the same time.

I wish I could already ski confidently, so I could fully enjoy winter here.
I wish I already spoke Norwegian, so I would feel more integrated.
I wish I were faster at knitting, already wearing a wool sweater I made myself.

But learning does not work like that.

It takes time. It takes patience. It requires being uncomfortable, and often feeling not good enough.

Still, I remind myself that meaningful results take time. That good things are not necessarily easy. That pushing myself just a little further each time brings me closer to where I want to be.

Thanks again, Norway, even when you make things harder, for challenging me and pushing me a little further.

“Please, someone turn on the light!”
The sentence that has been echoing in my head the most lately.

I didn’t expect to miss the sun this much, or the blue sky.
Maybe six years in Barcelona spoiled me.

Sunlight now feels almost like a physical need.
But this light can’t be turned on with a switch: it’s either there, or it isn’t.

Sometimes that long-awaited ray of sunshine appears while I’m working.
I watch it from the window, longing for it,
and then I see it disappear, and everything is dark again.

Maybe this is training:
learning to appreciate what you have, instead of constantly craving what you can’t.

They keep telling me that here, to get through this, you have to stay active.
So whenever I can, I go into nature.
On my bike. And I wish I could ski well enough to truly dive into these snowy forests.

That’s when I feel reborn.
Norway wraps itself around me once again,
and I no longer feel the need for anything else 🤍

I’m amazed by how my body adapts to these harsh temperatures.
Cycling at –7 without truly feeling the cold. And even when my fingertips start to ache, I know that as soon as a climb comes, they’ll warm up again, as if the body can regulate itself through movement.
Of course, proper clothing is essential. But the feeling is indescribable.

I’ve been told many times: to truly appreciate winter here, you have to live it. And here I am, camping on the snow.

As I warm my hands by the fire, I watch a fox walking across a frozen lake. And I feel more alive than ever. What once scared me has become fuel for my mind.

I’ve been in Oslo for just a few days. I have to admit, the welcome hasn’t been the warmest… but experiencing -15°C right from the start makes this adventure feel truly authentic. :-)
I look around, and while the cold freezes my breath around my scarf, I admire the snow-covered landscape like a child. Here, the snow won’t melt in two days like it does back home.

One thing people have said to me most often recently when I talk about this experience is: “You’re so brave to do this.”
Truthfully, more than brave, I feel a little crazy. I’m trying to understand what first drew me to this country when I first set foot here in August 2025. But I always feel drawn back here.

A Norwegian recently told me: “I can’t stay away from Norway for too long, I miss it too much.”
Well, here I am. It certainly won’t be easy—the cold is sharp and the days are short—but I feel proud and excited to be living this dream.

Takk to all the people who have already welcomed me in these first few days and made me feel almost at home.

NYBP Days 4–5

We’re almost at the end of the trip, and my mind is already drifting to everything I’ll have to do once I’m back.
“Stop,” I tell myself, “you’re still on the journey.”

Over the past weeks, I’ve felt so stressed and overwhelmed that I couldn’t truly enjoy the present.
Even my body was sending a clear message: enough is enough.
So I had to force myself to slow down and focus on one thing at a time.

I have to say, cycling helps a lot.
Pushing my bike over rocks,
being amazed by the landscape,
fighting fatigue,
or trying to fall asleep while the wind shakes my tent — all of this brings me back to the present moment.

And Ibiza?
We leave the city behind and enter a quieter, more rural area.
Nature and silence surround us.
We ride up steep climbs, and the temperatures drop.
Thanks to the precious suggestions of we find our final camp spot: an abandoned hotel.
A rather creepy place, but with a wonderful view — and a gentle reminder: be happy.

The journey comes to an end as we return to Ibiza city, where it all began.
It’s incredible to look back and realize that just a week ago, we were almost strangers.
And now, we feel like family.

Wishing everyone a beautiful start to 2026.

NYBP Days 2-3 — Ibiza Loop

If our first day in Ibiza were a preview of 2026, it would be full of challenges:
technical glitches, blocked or unrideable roads, people not always welcoming, and never quite enough water or food.

Or maybe it’s just a way to test our resilience.
A reminder that we have to keep moving forward.
Don’t give up — find a new path.
Don’t lose hope. The best is still ahead.

Ibiza is an island of contrasts.
Famous for its nightlife, but in winter you see the skeletons of that life: abandoned resorts and hotels standing beside its alternative, quieter soul.
Hills that break your legs, endless ups and downs weaving through luxury villas of questionable taste, workers preparing for the next season — and then, suddenly, those breathtaking views over crystal-clear bays.

NYBP D1 — last day of the year.

Maybe 2025 wasn’t the best year.
But this little bikepacking, right between the old and the new year, feels good.

As always, cycling reminds me of a deep similarity to life: you push, you slow down, you struggle, you breathe.
You stop.
And then you start again.

And Formentera?
It’s beautiful to discover this island in winter.
I can feel its true soul, getting lost in my thoughts among roads not yet paved, his calming nature, and the immensity of the sea.

Last week I gave a talk about bikepacking.
People said: “Wow, what you did is so cool!! but you were speaking too fast!”

True 😄
I knew I didn’t have much time, but honestly, I was rushing through my story because I kept thinking:
Why would they care about when I quit my job? Or about the trips I’ve taken, the places I’ve seen? Who am I to tell people how to go bikepacking? There are women who’ve done far more challenging things than me.

I was sure I was boring them.
But instead, people wanted to listen.

I often forget my own worth — my courage — even with myself.
Sometimes I think I should tattoo it on my arm, just to remember.

Because I know that if I stopped doubting myself, I’d probably go much further.
Maybe that’s what courage really is: to trust your own path, even when you can’t see where it leads.
