Evan González (@alinfinitoo) celebrates a decade traveling the world this year and to celebrate he has traveled from Madrid to Santiago de Compostela to do the Camino on his electric longboard.

Challenge achieved: Camino de Santiago on an electric skateboard.

Evan has shown that it is possible to use alternative and sustainable means of transport to travel long distances. At the same time, he wanted this experience to inspire more people to consider sustainable transport in their lives and that together with it they discover the landscapes and experiences that the Camino de Santiago offers.

During 12 days, Evangelina has covered almost a total of 700Km from Madrid to Santiago de Compostela: an exciting challenge full of unforgettable moments and an adventure to break limits and strengthen the human body. With his current weight, he has been able to travel up to 70 kilometers without having to recharge his skateboard battery.

His great feat of doing the Camino de Santiago has gone viral both in Spain and on the other side of the pond through through his TikTok and Instagram accounts, where every day he has been uploading a video summary of his adventures and anecdotes during the Camino, as we can see in the following videos from his official networks:

Who is Evan (@alinfinitoo)?

Evangelina Ailén González was born in August 1995 in Mendoza, Argentina and has dual Spanish and Argentine nationality. From a very young age she was already thinking of ways to travel. In the following photograph we see how he filled bags with toys and rags and got on his bicycle with training wheels to travel around the house.

Evan has been traveling, working and learning around the world: Canary Islands (surfing and painting houses), the Caribbean (working in a hotel), Mexico (learning to dive), Alaska (fishing for salmon), the Maldives (taking pictures of tourists) and Indonesia (where he stayed for 7 months as a result of the 2020 pandemic).

About his project to travel around the world on an electric skateboard: 1KM +

Evan is currently completing his challenge of traveling around the world touring 5 countries on 5 continents on an electric skateboard. So far he has completed Portugal (900km) and Costa Rica (600km) with an electric skateboard from Bewatt, a Spanish electrified sports brand that accompanies Evan in his challenges. The origin of the name of this project, which he has tattooed on his left arm, refers to "not thinking about all the way that remains, just focusing on the next kilometer".
