I have travelled most of southern Europe years ago, but mostly in or around big cities either backpacking or taking long weekends. Biking is an opportunity to meet different people and visit new places e.g. southern Italy, Malta, Sardinia and Corsica as well as San Marino and the countryside in northern Italy. On previous trips to southern Europe, I have encountered much friendliness and hospitality, but things change and having mixed experiences with many different people/cultures all over the world, I’ll try to avoid expectations as they more often lead to disappointment.
