Why this trip :
The right question is : why not?
It is always a good opportunity to dare ourselves, visit new places and meet people. Of course, it is also an excellent moment of the year to exercise outside, and nothing is better than a good bike ride across the best backyard that I know, the Nature.
This trip is an old dream from my childhood. So far, one thing that I've learned about life is if you have a dream you have two options: or you make it to become true and enjoy it or let it be vanished among all the projects that never came out from the paper and learn to live a life of excuses.
It is time to bring action to life!
