A Story of Solo Travel with BikeHike

Six years ago, Carole contacted us looking for a solo adventure in South America. We booked her on a group departure through Chile & Argentina with a couple of like-minded adventurers.

This summer, we met Carole in-person for the first time when she stopped by our office in Vancouver BC. She was on her way over to Smithers BC to visit Paula and Brett, who she had met on that South American BikeHike adventure and had continued to keep in touch with. It was such a nice surprise!

Destination of the Month: Brazil

The word “Brazil” often brings images of:

1. Scantily clad bikini models balancing large feathered headdresses and tiptoeing on stilettos that look like they were originally made to act as weapons,
2. Football (soccer) teams sporting green and yellow jerseys dripping with sweat as they kick, bounce and run with a grass-stained ball, and
3. Amazonian jungles with more lush green flora and fauna that would take months to list in full.

Combine the three, and you get a rather odd picture. Brazil is an amazingly diverse country built on Portuguese culture, Catholic beliefs, a love of art and life, appreciation for nature, and a fascination with a ball. For its incomparable selection of traits, we’re making Brazil the destination of the month for August.
