Opportunity Bike Trip

We never thought our passion for biking would take us across Western Europe. However, as Young Ambassadors for Opportunity, we are currently biking from Sweden to Portugal in an effort to raise over $5000 to open a bank in Tanzania through Opportunity International, with help from some great European friends! Opportunity International is a nonproft organization dedicated to reaching the poor through the power of microfinance. My involvement with Opportunity International began with an Insight Trip to Nicaragua, where I experienced firsthand, the impact of microfinance. The trip changed my life and I am now devoted to using my skills to serve the poor. Please help us raise $5000 for Opportunity International, and help others pursue their own dreams: a better life.

Booking It Through Belgium











Here we are in the lovely town of Herentals, at Kris's friend Tim's house, where we were fortunate enough to have an actual bed to sleep in, and more importantly, some amazing Belgium beer! Oh come on now, we deserve some :)

We have kept up our renegade camping sites, because to be honest the thought of sleeping one more day in that tent that now smells like je ne sais quoi... i'd rather sleep under an art gallery as we have pictures of below...

Today begins our long "push to Paris," after we have a delicious breakfast here and recuperate a little more.
