Nature Conservationist: Kai Unu. Communicating with Natural Earth

his family has been damaged by companies and individuals who pollute its ecosystem

Animals are not objects, they feel and they are wonderful in every way, this should be swimming for example, but for someone stupid, they take it out of his habitat and make this from it's life.

Hey Kai, I translated your text chat. Thank you! I love cycling, nature and I love meeting amazing people all over the world that have a dream to ride bikes. Your right, I need to practice my language exchanges, especially with Spanish speakers, I will be traveling through Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Equador, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina in late 2012 or early 2013 I should have arrived in southern Patagonia. This expedition starts at 65 degrees North latitude above the Arctic Circle in the Northwest Territories of Canada and ends in Urshuaia, Argentina.

Hey Kai, he traducido el texto de su charla. Gracias! Me encanta el ciclismo y me encanta conocer a gente increíble en todo el mundo que tienen un sueño de montar bicicletas. Su derecho, necesito practicar mi intercambios lingüísticos, sobre todo con hablantes de español, me va a viajar por México, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panamá, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia y Argentina a finales de 2012 o principios de 2013 I debería haber llegado en la Patagonia austral. Esta expedición se inicia a los 65 grados de latitud Norte por encima del Círculo Ártico en los Territorios del Noroeste de Canadá y termina en Urshuaia, Argentina.

Kai Unu is a Nature Conservationist and Cyclist. He inspires others to see the vision of preserving the delicate ecosystem of mother Earth, we only have one planet to sustain life, therefore, we should start to protect it. These photographs are a powerful reminder of what resources exist in nature, that should be left in nature's element. And we can see what happens when man enters the natural environment and destroys nature, or harms the living creatures that belong there. THINK.

Sharing cycling and nomadic ideas in the ESL classroom, Saturday mornings in Korea

Nic,

I am super-happy for you on accomplishing 50,000Km already, more to come no doubt down your OPEN road. You needed an Xtracycle to bring a woman with you http://www.xtracycle.com/cargo-utility-bicycles.html

I've got 1 important question for you about sizing a Koga-Miyata, I am finally through riding Made-In-China, and ready to make the move into bigger touring when I leave Korea in 2012. I'm in contact with Kogausa and want to order a KM-World Traveller, since locating a late-model @ discount, I need to guess the correct frame SIZE. Hmmmm. They are not available in Korea, so I will not SEE THIS BIKE until it is shipped. I sat on a Surly Long Haul Trucker in Seoul, Korea...a 60cm and it was way too big for me, then a 56cm seemed ok. The Koga Miyata being offered to me is a 54cm. I have an Italian racer friend, also 175cm tall, he said the 54cm would be alright ^^.

I'm 5'9" or 5 feet 9 inches, 175.26cm HEIGHT. Would a 54cm Koga be the right fit, this is a tough question, curious what size you ride & it must be comfortable fit, seeing 50K already gone by...incredible job!!!

I share your stories with my Korean ESL students, we've been discussing becoming "Nomads" and a few are interested in this subject, as I continue to push the Dream of Cycling (transamerican) with them every Saturday morning when we meet for our 3-hour lesson. Discussions usually include stories about you, Alastair Humphreys [ LINK: Hitlist on right--->], Antony Jinman [LINK: Hitlist on right---->], ...all the adventure heroes currently doing expedition work that I use as my virtual classroom, outside the ESL classroom. I've learned a lot about freedom, planning, equipment, determination, and finding satisfaction from reading your blog (and my own Hitlist on blogger^^). It's been amazing following your journey live, just hope you fix that XP problem soon, my Canadian friend [Brian Sully, arrival to Korea, photos above] asked about you, he thought you might be almost in NYC right about now, funny how your world is getting all over the world, amazing inspiration to all of us common people!!! Can't wait for your sequel (next stage) and a book at the end of this, I want to sponsor my son to follow in your Legendary Moves on the bike, for this work(out) and dedication , you'll be always remembered as a great cyclist at this time of your life. Bravo, bravo, bravo & Live Strong!

Jeju Island of South Korea, Vaca - Spring 2009

Took a break from teaching ESL-English as a Second Language and we visited Jeju-do, an island in the Pacific which is part of South Korea. A variety of photos are enclosed for the visual blog update, enjoy the visit & thank you for visiting!!!

WT: Ride the Transamerican, w/ MA to complete.

Hi John,

This might create enough gap with Rubberside Down returning to an original route planned http://www.poweredbycommunity.org/cms/ [never been attempted in this direction Arctic-Vancouver-St.Johns-New York-Texas-Mexico-Central/South America]; link to the New York HTTP://WWW.GYGIG.ORG and continue the ride to Central and South America. From 2012 to completion. I have 24 months to complete my MA in Adult Education [online], train consistently [300Km weekends as I have been doing], and saving a heap for commitment to fully engage tour, charity drives, and [WT] World Tour by bike. In Korea, I've got one of the best training grounds in the world [though I have to cycle around it a few times to make the distance!]. Keep in touch, Greg or Vin are welcome to join!

[This is the updated route/departure time. 2012-20XX]

ONE. The route will begin at the Arctic Circle and traverse Canada from the Arctic Circle (Inuvit, Northwest Territories, Canada) south towards the Yukon and British Columbia (Victoria, Vancouver), cross over the Canadian Rockies towards Banff, Lake Louise, down to Calgary (Stampede) and across the Prairies (Saskatoon, Regina), Winnepeg, MB to settle into Ontario from Thunder Bay up to the St. Laurence River Valley and out to St. Johns, Canada. From there the course turns South to New York (210 mile ride joining up with 1000's of riders at GYGIG 2012), Southwest towards Texas and into Mexico and Central & South America (generalization, fill in the places between) I will be supporting the Crohns and Colitis Foundation that's searching for ways to help the community living with IBD (intestinal bowel disease) which there is treatment available, but still no cure. It affects millions of people globally and they need our support to raise awareness & fund research or events leading to a cure! Anyone wishing to join this ride can do so, even supporting another charity! We can share the ride supporting different causes that need change. Therefore, anyone healthy enough to ride 100km/day whom is interested in joining "day/week segments" of this bicycle expedition for fun, adventure and a load of cycling on the road are welcome! No barriers or attitudes, it's all about moving life in a new direction. Bored with life, need a new drug, try WT touring!
