Omar Ruiz-Diaz currently made an extensive cycling & walking expedition around the world. He wrote more than a dozen diaries about his travel experiences on the road. Adventurer and nomad, Omar took seriously the issue of environment with the slogan: “quality of life means quality of air”. His main motivation is to tell everyone how important it is to use alternative transportation (bus, train or bike) to any urban destination. Also, he petitions the governments to make more bicycle paths in the streets and avenues. The matter is less pollution and noises and more fresh and clean air in the cities. As the trip continues through different countries, he has developed various projects like editing a video documentary, the publication of a book, the design of a new web page and organized a foundation to promote the idea of bicycling worldwide. Right Now, as it is May 21, 2012, he's working as a volunteer at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lapa, in Portugal. Any donation are welcome. Thank You! |
