Diana ed io in viaggio da sola

I'm Sissi, a Finnish woman intrigued by individual life stories and intercultural encounters, obsessed with how languages and education shape our reality, enraged with chauvinism of all kind. From 2015 my life has been in Latin America, mostly on a bicycle.

In November 2015, I set out to explore the vast and diverse realities of Latin America, and to question the persistent stereotypes of crime and violence in this region. I decided to do this by cycling first through South America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia from 2015-2017), then through Central America from May 2018. Through local women, I have become more and more involved in female empowerment and tackling male supremacy on this beautiful continent I now call home.
