The jorney hasn’t even started yet, but I’ve been getting ready for it throughout 12 years!
Even back when my mind still hadn’t even conceived it, my soul could already feel it. Unnoticedly, I was doing it, undoing it, getting to know it, knowing myself, growing, getting eqquippped, getting involved, investigating and so. To become the one who now I am.

I’m almost done with all these preparations.

These days I completed the investigation and development of some manuals about natural and alternative energy resources, which I will distribute for free in the rural schools that I’ll be visiting throughout my journey. Special thanks to the Instituto de Formación Técnica Superior N:14 (ex CENT n:14) for their support and technical assistance.

The trip will last 12 months to start with, and will have as its target the territory of Argentina and its bordering countries. I’ll be calling at the current 35 Argentine National Parks, and several other provincial parks. With several goals in mind but not unrelated between one another, all the way around.

·        To promote locally technologies related to renewable energy resources and its rational use.

·        Investigation y touristic survey.

·        To promote the touristic use of transportation means that are environment-friendly and that may reestablish the lost relation between individuals and their nature.

 And thre’s even more. Which we’ll be discovering together at every pedal turn, at every step we take, at every rowing or in every adventure that week by week we’ll be living.

Original Project:

To trip cruise around the country of Argentina and the world using as my main mean the bike, carryng a friendly message, visiting rural schools, Reservations, Natural Monuments and National parks.

I’ll be taking with me manuals about how to create devices that might allow people make use of renewable sources of energy, bringing them many benefits.

Improving their health, energetic capabilities and the way they make their homes.

These manuals will contain information about: how to build solar kitchens; solar water distillers; solar ovens; dry restrooms and advice on how to build their houses in such a way that they mayuse energy rationally.

At the same time, last-generation media will be used to keep the website up-to-date and to be able to be communicated anwhere.

The website visitors will be able to leave their comments in the visitor`s book, being able to support the Project voluntarily, donating copies of the manuals that will be distributed for free in the rural schools.

Periodically the roads that I`m going through will be surveyed and published, which will be of a great touristic interest.

In the first stage I’ll be travelling around Argentina joining all the Argentine National Parks and eventually I’ll be going through bordering countires, continuing from there on through other countries.

Contribution from Companies Interested in supporting this project

That’s the reason why I`m addressing you, to request your sponsorship for this trip.

You will obtain a a very important advertising benefit.

Your  logo at the website www.cicloviajes.com on the main page.

We will carry your logo embroidered on the main outfit, in such a way that it will be visible on pictures and videos that we’ll be uploading to the website, on the media that might be interviewing us and subsequently on a film that will be screened in several adventure-movies festivals.

We will also perform exclusive picture takes and video shots.

The videos will be recorded with 3CCD MiniDV cameras.

The trip will be worked out anyway. Counting with your support we'll be able to reach out to more geographical areas more effectively, the contents will be uploaded more frequently to the website and it will be spread more widely to more people.

I’m counting with an excellent equipment, which can withstand the most adverse weather conditions, but I’m still missing certain elements that even though they are not imperative when it comes to travelling, they are essential to be able to log onto the world wide web wherever I am. And several other elements to make the journey more feasible.

People’s contribution.

We request your cooperation to be able to leave instructive material in many more rural schools. We only need you to donate printouts or photocopies.

Whenever I stop by your homeplace, request me to stop by to pick them up or send the package to the Bus Station of the town that we’ll arrange previously via e-mail.

The document is available at our website. Feel free to download it to print it out and make copies.

I remind you that it’s not necessary to make many copies, since the load capacity of the bike is quite limited, up to a maximum of 40 copies.

We also request the cooperation of whoever may translate these documents to other languages such as:

Guarani, Quechua, Aymara, Portuguese, French, English, Chinese, etc.

Please arrange previously via e-mail: cribellati@hotmail.com

Every copy tha gets through, will be a small village with a better life quality.

Sincerely yours
