The first tandem tripess exciting than the African journey for us. After our short stop overs in Poland and Germany we moved back to Spain where we could work tranquil on our next project- a tandem trip from Argentina to Alaska. Even though the idea itself came up to life a long time ago, back […]
Cape Verde is an extremely green country located on ten volcanic islands almost 600 km off the coast of Western Africa. This paradisical archipelago is a former Portuguese colony therefore the official language spoken by its citizens is Portuguese. Like in Guinea Bissau, people in Cape Verde developed their own language which is called Creole. […]
The decision to visit Guinea Bissau was very spontaneous. We knew almost nothing about this country. Aware of the difficulties we may face concerning the language barrier we expected some hard times.

Gambia was, like we hoped, a change we longed for after leaving Senegal. We have reached the border pretty quick.

We were quite lucky to catch a ride only after few minutes of waiting. The two young guys who helped us were very religious and sympathetic men, unable […]
It would have been a great surprise if everything had gone smoothly during this trip. We were obviously aware of some difficulties and troubles we would have to face. But who could have expected that it would get exciting actually even before we stepped on Moroccan soil? We arrived at the Frankfurt airport tranquil, a […]
It has been almost 5 months since we moved together to Spain. It’s not that we didn’t like it there, on the contrary. We loved our slow lives, the warm climate, the sea and the comfort of falling asleep in our own bed every night. We just felt that the time had come to hit […]

And even though it seemed impossible, we decided to be together against all (so many!) odds. Since then we travel together, share big and small dreams, live great […]
