To Spain by Bicycle Caravan: A Family Dares the Adventure
Jasmin and Antony Unger have made an unusual decision. The small family wants to leave Germany and travel to Spain. However, they are using neither a plane nor a car. They are traveling by bicycle and special bicycle caravans in which they can sleep and live.
The family's main goal is to leave the classic "9-to-5 mentality" behind. They no longer want to work in a fixed office, but instead live as so-called "digital nomads." This means they can do their work flexibly via the internet while traveling from place to place.
The journey is a great adventure for the entire group, which also includes their young daughter and a dog. Recently, the family made a stopover in Havelberg, Saxony-Anhalt. There, they attracted a lot of attention from residents and tourists with their eye-catching bicycle trailers.
Living in such a small space requires a lot of organization and discipline. Space in the caravans is very limited, and the family must adapt to new weather conditions and routes every day. Despite these challenges, they enjoy the slow way of traveling and the constant proximity to nature.
The journey to Spain will take many more weeks or even months. The story of the Unger family illustrates a trend that is becoming increasingly popular in Germany: the search for alternative lifestyles and the desire to better combine work and freedom.
