That adventure began  in Hungary, saw her riding over the Alps, and continuing all the way to Norway. Once there she realised she was having so much fun so she decided to ride all the way back again.Now back in Australia Juliana has been continuing with her bike adventures and we also discuss her taking on sections of the Hunt 1000 bikepacking route from Canberra to Melbourne through the challenging Australian high country. Her reflections on bikepacking in Europe vs Australia, overcoming fear when camping alone, and the generosity of strangers make this a must-listen for anyone dreaming of their first bike adventure or planning a long-distance tour.You can follow Juliana via her instagram account -<a href='https://www.instagram.com/juliana_ft/'> @juliana_ft</a>Other guests mentioned in this episode:<a href='https://www.seektravelride.com/podcast-ep-88/'>Sheelagh Daley</a><a href='https://www.seektravelride.com/podcast-ep-86/'>Claire Wyatt</a><a href='https://www.cycplus.com/products/tiny-e-pump-for-bike-as2-pro?srsltid=AfmBOooMWTvbfmvckJBmsNnAp_obu3huTNAeHivf3MZ4O5fcWhm70Wlr'>Check out the Cycplus tiny e-Pumps and use the code STR for a 5% discount</a> <a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seektravelride">Support the show</a><a href='https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seektravelride'>Buy me a coffee!</a> I’m an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including: 👉<a href='https://alnk.to/9mrgDRp'> Zorali </a> 👉 <a href='https://alnk.to/7qmnVzd'>Helinox </a> 👉 <a href='https://alnk.to/6mRQ2G5'>Ombraz </a> 👉 <a href='https://alnk.to/6mRQ2G5'> </a><a href='https://www.cycplus.com/?ref=ktxuwpsj'>CycPlus– ePumps</a> (enter code STR for 5% off!)
