My Photo

Hi! My name is Juan Carlos Florez, and this is a blog covering a trip by bicyle from San Antonio, TX, USA to Puerto Maldonado, Madre de Dios, Peru. I am a practitioner of harmless living. I've been a carpenter-home builder for the past 15 years, I also have a degree in holistic health counseling, and am on this journey to continue my learning with an amazonian native healer I met not long ago. This trip, besides being the "greenest" way to travel, is also an initiation, and a pilgrimage. Hope you enjoy my journey!!!

HELLO FROM BUCARAMANGA, COLOMBIA

I have arrived in my native city after seven days ridding from Cartagena, a total of 690km, beautiful views, and lovely people!  My arrival was awesome, Silvia's family received me just outside of the city and they had posters, whistles, three cars full of people all cheering me on for the last hour into the city and to my mother in law's apartment. t'was really nice of them, and then my brother in law, Camilo, got me an interview with the local news paper, the story will be published in their weekend edition, pretty cool!  Now i get to rest and take it easy for a bunch of days, and the best thing is Silvia arrives on the fourth and i get to spend time with her before heading out again towards my final destination.  I'm so greatful for this wonderful experience, the people i met, the places  seen, and all i have learned.  Life is great!
