“To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” - Alfred Lord Tennyson

“From spring to autumn, there’s an abundance of life. It’s then that I like to be in the mountains by myself, catching fish, drinking stream water and picking mushrooms, nuts and wild grapes. I long to cross range after range, to venture ever deeper into the cradle of the wild.” - Kei Taniguchi

Last year I was fortunate to escape the dreaded month of November for a week and enjoy sunshine & cycling along the coast of Portugal, riding over 500 km from Lisbon to Porto.
