I'm on a solo bicycle trip from Udine (Italy) to Haparanda (Sweden) from July to November 2016. I am a wandering architect, gathering experiences and dirt from far-off lands in pursuit of joy, peace and enlightenment and to interpret my findings in the form of art, architecture and philosophy. At the moment I'm studying a master's course in product design in the University of Rome. www.anoopshekar.com
