Ignacio’s approach is to zig-zag his way over the globe – the summer in the North, the winter down South.

Leaving Beja City in the Alentejo - Portugal - packing the bicycle

Ignacio had his own company in Seville - Spain providing language service for 11 years.
At present he takes on translation jobs while 'on the go' over the internet – with his office in his rucksack. From translating texts to private language teaching, face to face or over the internet through Skype and E-mail.

Journey through Portugal and Spain

The plan is to be in France for the summer, so there’s the whole of Spain ahead. Leaving Beja city in Portugal in April and planning to visit Salamanca there’s a few 1000 Km of cycling to go.
