Some of you will know that I am trying to help my friend and former pro-footballer Björn Heidenström on his (multi-) marathon cycle epic from Oslo to South Africa. Please see
Home | The Shirt - Forget me not 2009/10
In a nutshell he is looking to raise awareness for the 43 million refugees on this planet. He started in June from the Nobel Peace Center and will arrive in South Africa in May of next year. To date he has been cycling alone and with no support vehicle. I have been doing the admin from Sweden, Torrevieja or Fuengirola. The theft of his bike in Amsterdam and the arrival of winter has lead us to believe that we need a back-up vehicle.
So, I have hired a camper-van and will be supporting Björn as we go through Europe.
Björn is now heading on to Spain where he has a PACKED diary. He is looking to meet as many Expat Forum members as possible in Spain.
I am publishing the next 6 weeks diary in the hope that many of you may want to meet up with Björn and I as we travel through Spain.
The most logical places are Barcelona, Alicante (Torrevieja) and Málaga (Fuengirola) where he staying for a number of days in each location.
Björn will be here for almost five weeks so I hope that many Ecademy members will take the opportunity to meet up with him.
