Interview

We asked couple: Introduce yourself, talk about anything you want, your age, your country, how did your passion for travel begin…

They said: We are Carla , Leonardo and Piri, a traveling family Argentina; Currently we travel by bicycle and in them we carry everything necessary to live in movement all year. We move slowly, with the strength that our body has to give, but we’re not running a race, no matter how many miles you pedal in a day because you’re always going to be a little further away than the day before and we travel in one direction: forward.
We started three years ago because we wanted to know the world and we didn’t have much money, so the most economical alternative was the bikebike, today we love cycling and we are happy of that choice.

Question: What is your goal for travel?

They said: For us the goal of the journey is the journey itself. It is the fact of moving from one place to another, at low speed, absorbing all that the journey gives you; it is like going back to school but in an accelerated way. We have had to learn to write and speak in a new language, we have seen new alphabets, a tide of information and stimuli arrive you continuously. What motivates us every day to pedal with rain, cold or, sometimes, even without desire is the fact of knowing that we do not know what is going to happen, with what or who we are going to meet, how it will behow the landscape will be or where we will end up putting our tent to spend the night. We are encouraged to know that every day will be different to the one that happened and to the one that will come. we know that we can go, practically where we want, just pedal for it; the bikes took us to see the sea for the first time, the snow, and many more things

Question: Is traveling on a bike easy?

They said: It’s not easy, it’s really hard, you have to learn to endure many things, get used to living without the comforts of a home as a bed, kitchen and bathroom, in summer it is very hot and very cold in winter, but the reward is to reach places that you never seen before, meet with new people and meet new cultures, all that makes you forget the tiredness and the pains, cycling is as hard as it is comforting. We travel with an adult dog, Piri is 11 years old and we do not want her to suffer, then we always making pauses for her to walk , play a little and also rest, for us to travel without Piri is not a possibility, we love her, and all the time we think about her well-being and try to make her happy.

Question: What are the most important difficulties you face?

They said: The most difficult was to take the first step, abandon comfort and leave, we carry 50 kilograms of luggage on each bike and it is really heavy when we must do large climbs on the route, also the cold and heat are difficult to combat.

Question: Is money an obstacle to financing the trip and how to act?

They said: Money is the scariest part for all who want to start on a life of travel, always listens to other travelers say that money is not the most important thing and that an income in travel is always achieved… and it’s true!
we sold postcards on the street for two years, we also work in agriculture in northern Italy. Travelling there are many job opportunities and you just have to adapt, but the most important is that working on a trip is a big opportunity to learn and meet new people, not only the benefit is economic
Life on the road can be really economical if you set your mind to it, and with little money you can travel for a long time

Question: Tell us about your most important travels, how many distances did you travel?

They said: We started cycling in Italy, there we toured almost the whole country to learn about history, culture, language and Italian kitchen, did 14000 km and we really enjoyed this country.
Now we are traveling towards Turkey, crossing many countries of eastern Europe, mainly we travel the route of the coast, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro and Albania were new countries for us, we saw amazing landscapes, we made great friends, we fought against the winter and against the wind, which is very characteristic of this area, we had to use new coins and we had to use all our resources to communicate since many times local people only speak the local language.
