BEE Japan

Bicycle for Everyone’s Earth

Juan Carlos

Hola! My name is Juan Carlos, from Colombia. I'm right now on my last year of my undergraduate studies in Environmental Sciences and Landscape Architecture, in Chiba University. I fell in love with the idea of a group of people riding all along Japan, promoting a more ecological lifestyle leading by example on the way, just when I first heard about it. I'm really happy I can be part of this year's BEE, supporting it from the planning stages, event organization and hopefully joining the riders crew for part of the way. I'm sure itwill be a great learning experience. オーラ!コロンビアからまいりました、カルロスです!現在、千葉大学で緑地環境の勉強をしています。初めからBEEについて聞いたとき大好きになっちゃいました。日本全国をチャリで走り、エコなライフスタイルを実際に体験しながら、その呼びかけをするだって、素敵なアイデアでしょう!今年はまだ走れるかどうか分からないですが、これからBEEをサポートして、イベントなどを考えて作り上げて行くのをとても楽しみです!よろしくお願いします!
