Hola!
Soy Wouter, 24, de Bélgica y me encanta viajar con bici!
Primero, trabajé como mecanico de bicicletas. Sali una primera vez para recorrer un año en Asia.
Despues, estudié 1.5 años la fotografia, pero me di cuanta que para mi personalmente es mas interessante viajar!
Entonces sali autra vez para pedalear hasta Sud Africa desde Bélgica.
Finalmente, hice un courso de carpinteria y ahorré para salir autra vez para recorrer las Americas!
Empezé este viaje en Sao Paulo, Brasil, en Septiembre 2016. Bajé hasta el sur de Chile y ahora estoy subiendo al Norte (hasta Canada ojalá). Creo que llegaré en deciembre 2018.
Obviamente, Me gusta mucho viajar lento, conocer gente y aprender neuvas cosas.
Me encanta trabajar con mis manos!
Espero que nos veremos!

Hi there!
I'm Wouter, a 24-year old Belgian cyclist, currently touring in South America. I started in Sao Paulo, Brasil, in September 2016 and my plan is to cycle to Patagonia and then north towards Canada.
I made my first world trip by bike after secondary school, in which I cycled from Belgium to Malaysia.
Then I studied 1.5 years photography in Belgium. But I found it more interesting for me to keep traveling.
So I cycled another year from Belgium to South Africa.
Then I did a one year carpentry course. Really love woodwork! Check my photos for some examples.
I'm a bicycle mechanic with 6 months experience in a high-end shop (and a lot of messing around in my garage since I was 14).
I obviously like to travel slow, meet people and learn new things!
It's hard to talk about myself, but I've been told I'm a hard worker and a fast learner. And I know I'm a perfectionist, I have trouble doing only half the job ;) "If you do something, you gotta do it right."

He is cycling around the world and contacted me after having an injury which was slowing his progress. I told him that he could stay and just take it easy and build some furniture for me.
What he built was amazing. I love it. I had to keep telling him to take it easy...but he’s a worker. He is a super-interesting… read more

We are eternally grateful for the beautiful work he did.
Wouter has also many (travel) stories to tell as he is traveling by bicycle.
