Welcome to my new blog. Here I share my adventures with all of you.

My name is Luís Gonçalves, I'm 39 and I'm from Lisbon, Portugal. I'm an industrial engineer and I work for an IT company.

I am passionate about nature and long cross-country journeys.

Becoming a kid again. Living a big adventure. Getting my bike or hiking boots, my strictly needed luggage and leave towards a goal.

The less tar, the wilder, the better.

While still planning an adventure, I’m already living it. And, before reaching the end, I’m already dreaming about the next one.

I’ve already done several mountain biking and hiking long journeys in Portugal and Spain. With friends and alone. Guided by GPS and in full autonomy. Finding the best compromise between the lowest weight and volume and the highest comfort is an art.

I value sleeping in a comfortable accommodation and tasting, during dinner, the regional food and wine from the places I cross.

In 2014, I’ll be doing the TransNorth Portugal, from the 26th of April till the 4th of May, and the Crossing Coast to Coast of the Spanish Pyrenees, from the 7th till the 21st of June.

I’d like to share my next adventures and form a small group with people that share the same passion.

See in this blog what I've shared about my past adventures and read more about my next 2 ones. If you're also interested in joining them, just let me know.

All the best, Luís
