My name is Mike – also known as The Kayak Viking.

I have a mission: to paddle over 3,000 km from Hamburg, Germany, all the way down the wild Atlantic coast to Portugal – completely solo, without a motor, just me and my sea kayak.

This expedition is more than just a journey. It’s a fight for freedom, resilience, and proving that we can break through our own limits when we dare to follow our calling.

To make this dream a reality and prepare, I'm raising here for:

A professional sea kayak built for long expeditions

Essential safety equipment (life vest, emergency beacon, rescue gear)

Initial training and preparation costs

I’ll document every step of this Viking mission on Instagram @TheKayakViking – from the first paddle strokes during training to the final landing on the cliffs of the Algarve.

Every contribution – big or small – brings me closer to setting off on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
