KEY TAKEAWAYS

Andrea's long bike trip from Andorra to Norway combined adventure, sustainability, and sports, emphasizing the importance of low-carbon footprint travel.

Interactions with activists, national parks, and athletes during the trip shed light on the impact of climate change on the mountains and the need for sustainable practices in the sports industry.

Andrea's emphasis on local adventures and the accessibility of outdoor activities close to home encourages a more sustainable approach to adventure and travel.

SOUND BITES

"I had this idea to do a bike trip. One year ago, two years ago, I crossed the Pyrenees from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic coast and also I crossed the Alps, the French Alps and I saw that I really like to do this kind of adventures like traveling just with your bike and some gear."

"I think you had a blog that you were like publishing all these conversations you had with different people. What did you learn talking with all these people during the bike trip?"

"I think it's very important because we need to take action and to advance. And I think the outdoor industry, we are probably the ones that they are closer to nature because we are there like training and skiing and cycling every day."
