I just bought bike, realy would like to go for my first adventure :) I probably will go at start of september to Etonia. Sareema - Tallin and back to Latvia ... its around 1000 - 1100 km trip. Mostly its planet as a demo one, to find out i will like touring or not. Since i realy wouldnt like to make a bunch of stupid misstakes what can ruin exprience for me. I`m on tight budget so cheep bike and shiety equipment is my way to go :)

Here is what I suggest:

Try to keep your load light. I took way too much stuff on my first tours. You can always improvise or find what you need.
Know how to do simple repairs and maintenance on your bike and bring the necessary tools. I am thinking of a flat tire, tightening loose screws, lubing your chain. Bicycle shops are not far apart in Europe.
Just go and enjoy your trip!
