Brent Valentine

Brent is a participant in a research project on organic coffee and the impacts of migration in Oaxaca. Through this research and exploration he has gained valuable knowledge of the people, culture, and the terrain covered on the Oaxacan bike trip. Although he grew up on the frozen flat fields of Wisconsin, his love for the steamy Oaxacan mountains is never ending.

In his own words...

“For me, biking the countryside is a chance to see the world at a realistic pace. In a car you miss too much. The Oaxacan coffee bike tour is a great chance to get to experience and understand the realities of the Mexican countryside from your saddle. Being able to share these treasures with others, in a manner that benefits the communities visited, makes this trip truly special and unique for me. I can’t wait to get back!”
