One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

one year ago we arrived at home after 6 mounths with our tandem. The most extraordinary situation was in south of italy. We had to find a place to sleep with our tent. we used to ask of local poeple if they know a good place. after a little town, a man were walking on the road. We asked to him our question and said "no, there is not a good place, but you can sleep in my garage, if you want". After 15 minutes, we were in his garage to put our garage, and he wasn't very happy about the little place and there wasn't windows..."no, he said, i have a better idea. there is an hotel not so far". "yes, we said, but for us it's too expensive. "OH no, i paid the night for you." You... no ! the garage is good for us, it's not a problem for us to sleep here. "you don't have the choice!"... well done !

Teach, Learn, Share

we are open for everyone knowledge. if we can talk in the Bar, for one night, one Week, something else... it will be fantastic for us !
We are interesting about way-of-life of people, to sustain our own reflexion (low consumption, low ecological impact, self-reliance...)
We could share sports moment: we love mountain, mountaineering, climbing...and cycle!!
