Just wrapped a 12-day, 4,466 km journey across Europe — starting and ending in Copenhagen.

🧭 10 countries
🏙️10 cities
🛣️1 giant loop powered by @peaqnetwork

Let me show you what it means to be a real peaqonaut and truly #GetReal in the DePIN world.

My @MapMetrics SPT device (second only to my lovely wife❤️) was my co-pilot across all the way.

I began this journey on day 107 of my streak — and on day 118, I completed it as a Legendary Nomad.

And yes, judging by the windshield, many bugs were harmed in the making 🪰😔

From the foggy mornings of the north to the blazing heat of the Toscany, this journey had it all. 🌦️🔥
Thankfully, I had my @SkyX Weather Station (Sky100) along for the ride.

🛰️ Real-time climate data
📍Portable deployment in multiple regions
🌡️Accurate microclimate logging

Sometimes off the grid, sometimes in the heart of the city, I’ve been collecting noise data hex by hex across Europe with @SilencioNet 🎧🌍

My first ever 100x was in Verona, tapped to spin by my wife. What a romantic DePIN memory 💞😂

Since the Silencio Soundcheck Extension was released on July 2nd, the exact day we started our trip, I didn’t get a chance to use it.

But these amazing maps would have been perfect for analyzing where to stay.

Silencio should be part of planning and design process of cities!🤯

In the second week of the journey, I logged dozens of hexes with @375ai from Italy to Denmark. Turning kms into knowledge felt like the most productive way to travel.

Somewhere between Prague and Berlin, my phone quietly gave up. Apologies to the unmeasured souls of Saxony😅

And of course, I kept launching my watcher node and securing @denetpro storage network from everywhere. #WatchersEverywhere

Btw, If you recognize where this photo was taken, you’ve probably had the world’s most delicious pizza too! 😋🍕👇

To be honest, I didn’t want to take the risk (fire hazard, etc.) of leaving my computer at home running for two weeks. But luckily, I had my @DATSProject TG app with me and was able to run frequent speed tests.

On top of all, every time I stopped for fuel, I couldn’t help but think that one day this could be handled by robots, and that maybe, as part of the @xmaquinaDAO, I might even own some of those robots.

Remember: Robots are inevitable.
The question is who’s going to own them!

The most disappointing part of the journey, unfortunately, was @NATIXNetwork

I was planning to activate Nitro for these 12 days and capture data from everywhere I drove.

But on the very first day, I painfully learned that I couldn’t use the same account in different regions 😔

I’m sure there are valid and probably legal (if not, please consider to change) reasons for this but still, it was a letdown for me. Maybe next time I should travel within the borders of my region or ask for permission to @NATIXNetwork 😜

All in all, it was a journey to remember.

As a peaqonaut 🫡, I truly felt part of something huge. If you prefer exploring over beach lounging, consider doing the same. Happy to share my experience!
