I have always been dreaming about travelling, and not getting back from my holiday, or staying and living in paradisiacal places. So, when I was 19 I asked myself, why not to try it? Why not to do what I like? So, I cheered up. I gave up university and I left to Brazil.

During the first two years I travelled a lot, but then the idea of settling down made me to stay in Maceio for another 4 years. In 1999, tired of the perplexity of the material things I opted to sell everything and begin another challenge: “to go around the world by bicycle” and so, why not to try to understand the real sense of life and how to live it.

I want to totally involve my body and my soul in this journey.

I chose the bicycle because I have always believed that it is a real means of transportation that allows me to have contact with everything around me and because it allows me to be independent. It also is inexpensive.

Today, some years after my first ride, I feel that I chose an as peculiar as difficult journey. But, I am not regretful and I enjoy it because in my thirties I’m realizing that I took the decision of giving to this trip the form of a life project.

Because, one can go as far as his heart and his courage can take him.
