pan american highway (Portugal)

Before you travel, you dream...
My dream will take me to the most of the physical and human geographical extremes that our planet has to offer. From the expansive wilderness and natural beauty of northern Canada, the Andes and Patagonia, to crowded and sprawling centers of human population such as Los Angeles and Panama City.

The motivation for my trip is a reflection of my life-long ambition—to explore new places, to make meaningful connections with other people and cultures, and to test the boundaries of my physical endurance and mental resolve

Traveling by bike is the most ecological way of travel that gives you the possibility to travel in silence and without a window separating you from the country you are traveling; using my own natural power Allowing all the senses to be a part of the travel experience.

I will cycle 25000 Kms across 16 country borders. The ones you see on the maps of this web site, but the ones I'm really planning to cross are the borders in our minds that exist subconsciously and limit our own perceived capabilities. They're the borders that say "You can't do it," and so prevent you from even trying. This trip is about conquering inhibition and blurring the line between dreams and reality.

I believe that whatever you want do or imagine, you must begin it. You have the choice: you can live your life or exist it…

The result of these thoughts is this trip. oame and travel with me….
