Nicolas bike trip around Europe

Hello!

First of all let me say thank you for your interest in my campaign, i know its not selfless cause and it actually made me doubt a lot about publishing it, but here i am putting myself out there and letting you decide.

I been wanting to travel all my life, since little I've been passionate about history, art and society, i read every book that made itself available as it was my only way to get to know the world.

I come from Argentina, from a hard working middle class family and as such there were some luxuries not available. So now as a 28 years old man i decided to bet everything on knowing the world, i save up all i could and reach Europe, but my travel idea was not just going to a few cities visiting museums and such, i want to actually experience each individual country, its people and folclore.

I got a visa with Denmark and now i'm looking for a job here, but i realized that the expense for the trip is going to be higher than expected. My ideal travel is pretty ambitious as i plan to do 13700 km visiting 21 countries. You can see the map here to open on a new window

The money is gonna be for diverse expenses such as the Bike i will use (Trek D5 8.6) which i got in a promotional price from a store here when i explained about the travel, i also have to add the modifications we will have to do in order to be able to travel (lights, luggage, locks and helmet) and the tools and spares i will need for maintenance down the road, also the camping equipment and finally but not least there's the obvious expense on ferries and trains and food.

Again i know this is a selfish campaign, but i dreamed my whole life about it and i am doing all i can to fund it myself but is proving difficult to say the least, so in advance let me say thank you for reading all of it and taking and interest on my project.
