About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enviromentalist, Bicyclist, Documentarist, Adventurer

ABOUT ME

Omar is travelling with the message
of encouraging attention to
environmental issues and, particularly,
the use
of the bicycle.

It's a life of adventure and challenge
with respect to the environment. With
this in mind and the slogan 'Quality of
Life means Quality of Air', he
continues his trip with great deal of
appreciation and learn, developing his
Ecoadventures Project.

Among the aims of the project is
promotion of the use of alternative
transportation (bus, train, bicycle) in
big cities thereby alleviating traffic
jams and creating more bike paths to
lessen pollution.

Meeting with political and community
leaders to raise consciousness of the
need to share urban space on city
streets with cyclists is a regular part of
the project.

Omar invites everyone to participate in
Ecoadventures by sharing a spirit
to promote a healthy planet. There are
many issues requiring attention
and plenty of opportunity to make a
difference.

PHILOSOPHY

Gratitude is the key of the happiness.
