The origin of Dreams Can Be Real: adventure as an antidote

Outdoor adventure is the remedy that allowed me to move forward. First, through sailing, which became my first profession. The sea gave me the chance to live the dream, while my life was a nightmare. Without going into detail, let’s just say I’ve come a long way. Then came very long hikes. And finally, cycling, or rather mountain biking. But why on earth choose mountain biking for traveling? Because, provided you’re in good shape, it’s the best way to go, of course!
 
Well… It’s true that I go much, much slower than on a regular bike… And it takes a lot, lot more effort. But compared to walking, I’m a little faster. That means more freedom and flexibility in choosing my route. All while still allowing me to access the same areas. The ones where nature is at its wildest. The ones where people aren’t used to seeing tourists. And finally, there’s the thrill of the ride. A good downhill run on a mountain bike is worth a thousand on the pavement!
