Americano


A long journey

 

At the start, Americano is a great 15,000 km hitchhiking trip across North and Central America. An initiatory journey and an adventure of life to discover in this: travel blog.

It was once in Costa Rica that a change of means of transportation was decided. This first rollerblading trip consisted of crossing Costa Rica and Panama for more than 500km with a cart. It even had a small name: Monkoa.

Inspired by a great traveler and with the help of a craftsman and friend, César, we built this first steel rollerblade travel cart. Baptized Monkoa (it must mean "blue wave" in Tongareva) it was equipped with 3 wheels of bicycles and a braking system.
