Hi! I`m Gregory/Greg.

I always traveled for fun for many years, until I realise that was my passion and the chair in the office couldn't make me happy anymore. Before I made this decision I was working as a lawyer, in one of the biggest law offices in São Paulo/Brazil, coordinating almost 40 people, using suit and tie every day, traveling in my vacations (30 days per year), until I quit in 2015.

From April/2015 until now I traveled as a cyclist in 6 different continents and more than 100 countries. So far was an amazing adventure that I was glad to share with people that I met along my way.

Is my first time traveling by bicycle. Is a big challenge to start with this big project but I’m pretty sure that at the end everything will be fine. I would love to keep sharing my experiences with people that I’ll meet! By the way, do you have a free couch? 😂🙏

Things that I did in the past few years that I'm really proud:
✔️Lived island life for 6 months in Pacific, living in a tent and with locals, eating wherever I planted in my garden, hunting fish in the ocean;
✔️Knock doors all over the world asking for accommodation;
✔️Survived with food donation in Southeast Asia (Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia): I was totally broken (no money at all);
✔️Hitchhiked over than 8.000km around Iran, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iraq, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and Italy;
✔️Lived in a van for a few months around Australia and New Zealand;
✔️Lost 12kg in 27 days because I got an infection in the stomach;
✔️Climbed a few mountains over than 3.000 and 4.000m above sea level;
✔️Jumped a couple of times with skydiving;
✔️Swam with Whale Sharks in Philippines;
✔️Almost got arrested in Iraq;
✔️Had to evacuate an island in Maldives because a tsunami was coming;
✔️ Camino Francés de Santiago (900km by foot): Saint Jean Pied de Port - Santiago/Finisterra/Muxia (winter/2018): camping all over and just with food donation (total that I spent in 35 days of walking: 0€). By the way, my backpack had 22kg..for 30km per day is quite hard, right?!
️✔Survived an avalanche in the mountains of Bulgaria;
✔️Saw the Northern Lights (Aurora) twice!
✔️Finally visited my country number 100!
✔️Went to North Korea on Christmas/2018 🇰🇵!
Counting...😂

I`m a very curious person, about the culture, food and people. I think that you can learn a lot when you share experiences, and this is my ideia for this trip.

⛔️The only thing that I would love to have is your reference. It's important for you that will keep hosting and for me that will keep traveling.

Nothing better than share what we know and learn from the others.
