Chasing Summer

Report initially published in the Adventure Rider web site. For more interaction and comments check it out here

I dreamed about traveling from Alaska to Patagonia for a long time, and especially to discover South America. Over the years, with a successful career and a family growing I started to think that it would stay a dream for ever…

Then bad news happened: my company was being bought by a much bigger one and layoffs would occur. Stressful times, especially because I liked my job and team very much. But it could also be an opportunity! After a lot of thinking and discussion with my family and friends we decided that it was worth taking the risk so I volunteered for the severance package.

Long story short, I planned to leave in a 6-months trip that would go from San Francisco to Prudhoe Bay and then after reaching the Arctic Ocean, set the compass to the opposite direction and ride to Ushuaia in Terra de Fuego.

Well, things didn't turn out exactly like planned but it was a fantastic and very rewarding experience: I pushed my personal limits to overcome obstacles and injuries in harsh and remote environments, while discovering and interacting with contrasted and fascinating cultures.

Follow me in this adventure and you'll be rewarded by amazing sceneries! Beware though, inspiration can be contagious...
