Description
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."

I don't know why it took me three months to leave Scott a review!

Really loved my stay in Misahualli! Scott's place is so pretty! Right next to the river! And so much fun with the other volunteers! Great vibes all around.

Felt very welcome, appreciated and taken care of by Scott. There's something to do there for everyone, very flexible! Just… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Wouter)

Wouter is the perfect volunteer.

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

I spent one week at David's place and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was nice, working with the other volunteers was a real joy and, as everybody mentions, the food and beer are amazing.

I absolutely loved sleeping in the truck and waking up with the birds singing. The surroundings are really pretty and it's nice to make small hikes or… read more

I spent a wonderful three weeks at Ruth's place. First we fixed many small things in the new house. Then she was crazy enough to give me the confidance to take the whole roof off of the old house. It was a nice challenge to put a tin roof on it! It was quiet a job, but i really enjoyed helping out ruth. She's really respectful, appreciates your… read more

Couldn't possibly exaggerate how hardworking, skilled, dedicated and genuine this guy is. Initially I was wary and doubtful that a 24yr old could complete the mammoth challenge of re roofing the wonkiest roof for miles. He takes such pride in his work n happily adapted to what was available always finding solutions rather than dwelling on plans… read more

A friend in common introduced Jeroen to me. After being on the bicycle for 8 months, it was great to spend nearly three weeks in Chiloé with Jeroen, Grecia and Gabriel!

FIrst of all, they live in a truly beautiful place. The land is so big, I even almost got lost!

Secondly, they are really really sweet people. Jeroen is very integer and has a… read more

It was a real delight to have Wouter at our place and he worked very hard at the building of a wooden kitchen in the guesthouse.
We are eternally grateful for the beautiful work he did.
Wouter has also many (travel) stories to tell as he is traveling by bicycle.
We were really sad to see him leave after two weeks and a half to continue his voyage… read more
