Tânia Muxima

Surfing, nature and the sea were the starting point for getting to know the world. Over the last few years I’ve been cycling around some countries. I’ve been to countries like Iran, Kazakhstan, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and many others… but it’s Africa that has captured my heart more than any other continent. I work for four months in the summer at a mountaineers’ refuge in Switzerland and then travel the rest of the year on that money. The little time I spend at home, in Figueira da Foz, I spend with my family and friends, and I also save some more by teaching surf lessons.

Traveling by bicycle is the best way for me to travel, we go at the ideal pace to see and experience the places. I’m passionate about landscapes, although I’m aware that what defines countries are the people and their culture. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to make my dreams come true and I’d like to keep it that way.
