Hi Zach, sorry to hear about your migraines. I am a migraine sufferer myself. What works for you to manage the pain? I like running cold water over my head for a few minutes. That really helps. Also, drinking fizzy drinks e.g. sparkling water can help. What are the triggers for your migraines do you think? Mine are: too much alcohol, sugar or caffeine. Over-exertion can also be a trigger. So I try to avoid all those. Having said that, regular exercise seems to keep migraines at bay. Breathing consciously in through my nose and exhaling through my mouth also seems to help. Weirdly, too much sleep might trigger a migraine too. Perhaps not having enough fresh air in the room I'm sleeping in might also contribute. In general, I try to avoid taking pills or medication, but sometimes I do. Curious to hear about your triggers and remedies! Keep up the good work making videos! Oschi from Germany.

Love it. I spent 10 weeks bike touring Europe in 2022. First bike tour, first time in Europe, zero training. Spent most of the first week thinking WTF was I thinking. By week 2 my body had adjusted, I was getting the hang of Europe and my mindset did a complete 180 from WTF to this is an amazing way to travel. The first week is hard, kudos to you for sticking with it. If you can talk Kaitlan into trying another bike tour, go for longer. It definitely get's easier beyond week 1.

Thankyou for your words of encouragement! And good on you for going 10 weeks! It was deffinatly a hard slog to begin with but we agree, what a fantastic way to travel and see things from a different perspective. We'll deffinatly get back on the bikes one day again!

I love that you biked thru… I need to try the e-bikes. The language barrier would have worried me, but, a beautiful ride. Thank you so much for taking us along on this adventure!!✌️❤️🇺🇸

The e-bikes are definitely worth a go! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Great video…just wondering why you chose the southern side (Hungarian side) over the Northern side of the Danube to Komarno.Would offer a suggestion if you tour again would be to raise Kaitlan’s seat to improve her comfort and to stay away from grey shirts and backpack.

Great video and thank you for taking us along on your journey

I hope you guys had fun. I love this area, Komarno (Komarom in Slovakia) in my birth place, Bratislava was my university town and I lived in Budapest for a while. I love how you took the lack of english as an adventure and not a pain. Langos is a good choice! I am amazed you guys could ride after a langosh. I usually just fall asleep :)

We had a great time even though it was a challenge! We really enjoyed visiting those places, they were very different from each other but was fun transiting to each of them by bike. The langos was great! A nap afterwards would of been ideal haha

Great video! We are thinking to do the same route next week. Do you have the names of the camping sites by chance?

Amazing trip 😊

Thanks. Running out of juice would be a big concern. I have a bike myself hasn’t happened yet. Looks like lots to see.

Vienna to Budapest takes about ten minutes

Oh my that was a lovey video! Me and my husband want to do this trip too next year in May. Which month did you go in? Did you plan where to stay before going? Thanks 🙏🏽

You will have a great time! We did it in late May, so you could expect similar conditions. It's worth checking what public holidays are on during your schedual. We had a rough idea of where we wanted to get to each day but didn't pre-book anything to stay flexible and didn't have any issues. I think because it was before the summer season it was fine. Goodluck with it!

I’m just finding your channel. Which guide book did you follow?

We used the EuroVelo 6: Danube Bike Trail 3 guide book which covers from Vienna to Budapest

How did you go charging up your e-bike. That is what I am planning to have.

We were fortunate enough to find a powerpoint at every campsite. Some sites we payed for power, others we found a power point in communal areas. Its important to charge at the end of each day as you really don't want to risk running out of juice... especially on the long segments!

As a 69 year old man, my advice is: try to avoid the main roads as much as possible and enjoy the unpaved roads where you can enjoy the peace and nature that each country has to offer.

Great advice! We really enjoyed the peace and quiet out in the country.
