Dear friend, member, sponsor,
This message gives you some insights of our main achievements so far, just before entering in Belize, our 5th country. Travelling by bicycle is really a great human adventure by its rhythm and facilitating contacts with local people. It is also clean, which is consistent with our project and philosophy. An adventure of a lifetime! This is an opportunity to share our accomplishments after a year spent on the bicycle.
