Jamie Bianchini, Expedition Leader & Full-Time Peace Pedaler

Peace Pedalers is really an outward expression of my Soul's true essence. My philosophy in life is "Live Big, Give Big". I live big by following my passion of world travel and staying healthy doing heaps of outdoor sports out in Mother Nature. Biking, surfing and skiing are my top three passions, but I also dig climbing, kayaking, diving and just about anything in the outdoors. I love nature, and want to do my best to protect it for future generations.

On the soft side, I'm all about loving, caring, giving and accepting everyone regardless of where they are from, what they've accomplished, what they believe in, or even how they act. Bottom line, I love all human beings. They are by far my favorite species on Planet Earth. I enjoy learning from them and just observing the way people choose to experience this grand life. My heart tells me that people CAN get along in this world and live in peace. I will do whatever I can to move us closer to that vision.

I love music, especially music that gets people dancing and celebrating life. And I LOVE to dance, especially to fun, funky, instrumental music with positive lyrics that lift a group of groovers to a higher place. Latin, deep house, reggae & fun-n-funky bands are my favorites for groovin, but I like the mellow stuff too. So if we meet up, let's DANCE! International food is also a passion of mine. The weirder the better. Once I get my tummy all sorted for a region I'll eat just about anything. I'm not a vegetarian, but do prefer foods without or with minimal meat, and fish is my favorite.

On the professional side, I have spent the last 15 years as a die hard entrepreneur and student in the game of life. I graduated from the Entrepreneur Program of USC and have been building professional, personal, and life skills around the world. I'm fluent in Spanish, good Portuguese, so-so German, and will be learning French, Italian and Brazilian Portugese in the next few years. Fortunately, some of my business decisions were good ones, and I'm able to live a simple existence out Peace Pedaling the world without external funding (minus equipment and small cash donations from sponsors and individuals, of course, which we're grateful for!)

Every day is an opportunity to make a difference in the world, so I try to foster an extremely loving and giving attitude and mentality that balances my selfish and somewhat hedonistic side. As I said, my motto is "Live Big, Give Big", and it seems to be working for me as life is good! Love to hear from you and meet anyone from anywhere! Drop me an email and by all means do join us as a "Part Time Peace Pedaler" or guest rider out on the road!!!
