The story of the cyclist backpacker “Sylvia Diaz” began when she was 24 years old to return home from a distant place of study during the holidays, traversing 480 km by bicycle! The young woman did not have the money for transportation, but she had the determination that polished her body to become an adventurer who roams Latin America and decides to take a trip around the world.
The Argentine traveler says that she has been making Sufi dolls for a year to finance her trip and sell them in the villages and cities she passes through. She has the courage to drive on the roads of Brazil and enter the Amazon forests and live alone on the tops of the mountains of Argentina and penetrated into Peru and Colombia and crossed the rivers and plains of Venezuela Today, Bolivia continues the journey without getting bored.
During our conversation with her, she refused any sympathy for her in any way. She does not need money, but rather said: “I am strong and enjoying, and there is nothing like realizing my dreams, and that life is a difficult but beautiful experience!” Life and fighting do not accept kindness or charity, says “Diaz”: I escape from prison for free life with my bicycle.
Today she is 40 years old, she has not stopped traveling and cycling since 16 years!
Thank you, Silva Diaz, for sharing your inspiring story.
