The point of my bike adventure across the US is to experience freedom, live simple and to be an observer of both man and nature in a land that fascinated me since childhood. I can and choose to do this because I was lucky enough to have a great family that sparked in me the desire to never stop learning. Learning for the mind, learning for the body.

The point of my bike adventure across the US is to experience freedom, live simple and to be an observer of both man and nature in a land that fascinated me since childhood.  

I can and choose to do this because I was lucky enough to have a great family that sparked in me the desire to never stop learning. Learning for the mind, learning for the body.

That, and my very understanding wife. :)  

This learning and the experiences that came from it made me realize that dreams are precious and following them is happiness.   Education gave me a chance to find this out on my own.  

Livia is the kind of person that could spark the same learning desire in children from poor roma families that live on her street.  

A chemical engineer, she was laid off when the aluminium plant in Slatina was restructured. In her fifties and with virtually no possibility of employment in the small town, she found meaning in helping these children with homework, taking them in small trips, engaging them in activities like dancing, making music, painting.   

She's teaching them values that you and I take for granted, but in most cases their homes cannot provide. But she needs help to extend the program so more children can benefit and have a chance integrating in a world which has a tendency to marginalize them.  

Wonderful children like Ana and her little sister Georgiana that I met during my last visit to Slatina convinced me that Livia's efforts are going in the right direction, so through my trip I want to raise awareness that people like Livia exist and can be helped to do good in the world.  

I will start biking on April 23rd in New York with a goal of reaching San Francisco sometime in early June covering more than 6200 km with an ultra-light bike setup.   For more details about the adventure you can follow my trail on a map, and read impressions on my blog.
