My Travel Story

by: Tobie Oliver Start Date: Jun 10, 2018 - End Date: Mar 9, 2019

Hello!  My name is Tobie. I am a 29 year old male from the country of Denmark. And i have made the decision to travel as much as the world as possible. Mostly on my bike. And here is the reason why : 
About 5 years ago i was diagnosed with 2 herniated disc's in my lower back. Through these 5 years i have been in and out of hospitals, back clinics and pain treatment centre's. I have tried acupuncture, reflexology and many other sorts of treatments. Hell, even drugs and medicin. Unfortunately none of the above has helped with my back pains. I have lost my job, my girlfriend through 7 years, alot of social and most family relations relations and most of all ; Myself. 
Before i was diagnoced, i spend most of my time playing music. I was an active member in 3 rock bands, and lived a life of creative freedom and relative peace. I have always felt, that i was giving something good to the world, by playing music, and giving other people a moment to feel free in. Although, my current psysical condition has made it impossible for me to contribute with what is needed, in the music industry. 
I want to return to my former self, with minimal backpain, that doesn't ruin everything in my life. And i have found a way.

On my bike, 
i am releaved of any pain that i might have. It gives me this sensation of full body control, that i had 5 years back. When i sit at home, doing nothing of importance, sleeping and sitting in soft beds and chairs, i get serious pains throughout the day. But if sit on my bicycle for 8 hours, and sleep on a hard sleeping mat, i feel totally relieved, and energized the next day. This is an amazingly pleasent feeling. It feels like, that which was taken away from me, i can now get back. And that has now become my main goal in life.  
Because of my current situation, i really don't have much left to lose. So i am now ready to make a commitment, and try to get my health back in order, by riding my bike, for as long as i can. i will be terminating most contracts i have here in my hometown, and be absolutely non-comitted to anything else, than my journey, my mission and my bike.

The first part of my trip will take place around spring 2019. It will take me through Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
There is no end date to the trip.  

I will be documenting my trip through blogs, videoes and social media. I want to share my moments of the odyssey, in hopes of inspiring other people to do something similar, if they are in a similar situation as me.  
With this fundraiser, i hope to get a little financial releif and help on my journey. Herein comes food, ferry crossings and minor preparations for the trip ahead. 

All contributions will warm my heart alot, and i want to thank everyone in advance, for donating ! By donating, you are helping me, helping myself to get back to my correct state of mind and body, without chronical pain, and defeats all the time. And there is nothing more i want in life. 

Thank you for reading ! 

Best regards from : Tobie
