He spent a wonderful day strolling here and there. He got a chance to attend a wedding party in the village, where people showed their interest in him and his adventure.
152nd day (29/04/2019)
It was his second day in Pinarcik village. He was simply resting, as he was planning for the days to come. In a couple of days he intended to give a short break to his tour, and to find work somewhere, so that he would be able to save some money to finance the next leg of his adventure.
Over the last 5 months he has travelled a lot, and has mostly met all expenses from his own pocket.

154th day (01/05/2019)
It was his last day on his bicycle, as he was going to have a short break to the tour. He will be looking for some work for a period, in order to have the necessary funds for the next part of his tour.
So far he has pedalled for more than 5,700 kilometres.
It is the start of tourist season in the Antalya area, and he thought that it would not be very difficult for him to find a temporary job in the area.
He thinks that while working in the area he will have the opportunity of meeting tourists from different parts of the globe, which will also be helpful in increasing the numbers of his followers, and also give him the chance to chart out the next part of his tour.
