All the people met on Warmshowers.org or Couchsurfing.org that hosted me. Not only they permitted me to rest, but also made me learn about and appreciate local culture. Some even recommended me to friends or family to meet later on the road. Thanks for everything. Hopefully I’ll be able to host travellers like that as soon as possible.

All those cyclotourists I shared the road with. The exchange of information, tricks and sometimes material give to bicycle travel a community spirit through its players that I wasn’t expecting so strong. We can easily figure out how the world is small belonging to that.
