Eurotrip (planning) 🏍️🏍️🏍️

Hey there, MC’ridas🔥

I'm planning a 6-month Eurotrip and heading south to chase the warmth when it gets colder up here in Northern Europe. The plan is to camp at least 4 out of 7 nights each week while working on my political science thesis.

I'm looking for some general long-term travel tips (this is my first big trip), destination tips (the route so far, not set in stone): Germany - Switzerland - Southern France - Spain/Portugal), with some favorites along the way and recommendations on gear and equipment.

I want to achieve a good balance between protection and heat, as well as packing and maneuverability. I'm aware that it will get sweaty, nature will have its pros and cons, and unexpected complications with the bike might arise, but what do you all think? Am I missing anything here?

If anyone has specific experience with these products, I'd also greatly appreciate your advice 😁 - Hennessy Hammock, still top-notch? - Tips on luggage systems & saddlebags (CB500X) - Airhawk 2 seat cushion, or another product? - Icon field armor compression shirt - Scorpion covert pro jeans - D30 protective inserts, worth it? - Balance oil / Gaerne balance pro-tech boots

I'll include some pictures of the route and the products if anyone wants to take a look 😉🗺️

Looking forward to your tips, big or small, and wishing you all a great evening!
