(CNN) — Even after hundreds of miles into his two-wheel journey, Kleon Papadimitriou says he still wasn't sure he'd make it home. The 20-year-old Greek college student had been stuck in Scotland, where he studied, with no way to return to Athens while flights were shut down due to the pandemic. He spent the last few moments of each day writing down his progress, tracking the next day's path and checking in with family and friends. As the weeks passed, he said more people caught word of his journey and tuned in, receiving updates from his friends and family. And he's got a piece of advice for those who (rightly) think a 48-day bike trip is a huge undertaking.
