Hey there,

I'm looking for a travel companion to cycle with this summer from Bodo, Norway through Lofoten islands to Nordkapp [the almost northernmost point of continental Europe]. It's a light tour, around 1000km, it's through amazing nature (islands, fjords, mountains, waterfalls...), gonna take at most 3 weeks. It's the wonderful nature in Norway that make me go there - I already did one bike trip in Norway last summer (from Stavanger to Trondheim), and that trip makes me want to go again. I'm male, 23 years, just graduated from university, currently living in Bremen, Germany (but born in Serbia), have some experience in biking tours, very open-minded and flexible, tra la la. I cycle 50km-60km per day on average, and I always camp in nature (Norway is damn expensive and I'm a poor boy .

Have much fun guys, google up some images just out of curiousity if you love nature and you've never heard of Lofoten islands).

Tobi

Edit: also, if anybody has biked in arctic Norway and has some advice related to this region or must-see points, shoot it here!

Hi Tobi.I´m a spanish guy, i´m 28 years old, and i like your idea.I was thinking about cycling this way (another one larger) with a partner, but finally he rejected. So when i read your message, the idea went back again to my mind. Where will you arrive to Norway?by plane?.So please give me your e-mail, to write to you and talk about the flight and about the route, and about all about this trip. Thank you

Hi Caban,

great to read your reply! I will arrive in Sandefjord (near Oslo) by airplane, and then probably have a 17 hours long train ride to Bodo (cheap) or take another flight from Oslo (70 or so euro more expensive). My email is dpesikan@gmail.com, write to me about you and why you want to do this bike trip. Where in Spain (or somewhere else) exactly are you? I have some experience in finding cheap airplane tickets, maybe I can help you...

Route and the rest we can talk about privately. I have some ideas, but I am really open to yours too.

Best
Tobi

it sounds great, I was planning Finland and was shocked by accomodation even at youth hostels!!!
cheap flights from Spain, just go to google and type "low cost Spain Norway" and you will get the airlines names...
good luck
