Jibi!!Cat,Bob...(And Me !!)

I have since my early age a certain admiration for nomads and travelling peoples,everytime seeing peoples on bike,horse,hitchiking..boat...All i was doing was to run,cycle faster ..to meet them ..echange..to know what they did pass throught...what they lived ..mooving everydays..dreaming of one day that I could travel same peacefull way...

I had the chance a month ago to meet Jibi (the wonderfing spirit,called by the american indians)
a magic and clever person,always ready to discover what is along the road riding his bike!!!
As retired from the Navy,George(for the papers) need action and adrenaline even by 60 (fakes)y.old...
He contacted me thougt the couchsurfing community and I had the pleasure to welcome him home and travelling along the Canal du Midi with him was also just incredible.....SO much,I ve learn..so much travelling with him(in this short week spend togheter) ,is for that I am deeply glad I meet a traveler as Jibi!!!!!
Travelling since his adolescence he hitchiked earlyer on and cycle in most of his travels..
Lately jibi "finished" a world trip that lasted 3 years ,and 47 000kilometers done,passing so many countries,meeting so many peoples..enjoyed amazing lanscapes...
He has done it with Cat and Bob...2 simples machines to most of us,but the best friends of George for the last 3 years, what a friendship!....completing each others...they traveled the WORLD!!!
Knowing that I was going around the world,and I was currently looking for a touring bike
Jibi..offered me to take his friends for a turn...but what a turn....a TURN AROUND THE WORLD!!!!How can I say no!!!
He told me that a like 2 week before chrismas.....What a happyness,what a luck that I meet and host Jibi (throught Csurfing)...
Giving me his bike,jibi is giving me freedom,the chance to get a wider vision of this world...thanks you jibi!!!
From Now..I know a little more myself ..where I am going...Preston,England
