From 2011 to 2012 I was lucky enough to be able to travel around the world.

My backpack and I left Rome for eight months travelling towards the EASY, living a continuous summer across all the continents and experiencing incredible and unrepeatable experiences.

The thrill of a hunting lioness, the feeling os being so small on the Great Wall and the magic on Easter Island, dancing all the night at the Full Moon Party, participating in the Carnival in the Rio Sambadrome. But there was also the fear of dying under a landslide, the terror of being surrounded by a shark and feeling smelled by 'something', in the dark Amazon forest night. The risk of getting lost in the Patagonia and the anger of been robbed halfway through the trip.  On a bike with Cambodians, surfing with Australians, playing football on the beach with Brazilians, drinking wine with Argentines... everyday was a new story with new people, giving me the priceless feeling of having the freedom to manage and live every day of ,y life.

There are so many and so strong emotions that will remain indelible forever in my memory and for my whole life.

In these pages you will find, day by day, some short stories about the greatest adventure of my life

The bar of Zanzi

After so many days of Safari, surrounded by layers and layers of dust, living on a tent without hot water and bare electricity, a few days for resting and get some new strenght are really appreciated. Zanzibar is far away from what experienced so far, it seems to be a world apart from Tanzania, and in fact there is a passport control - and a new stamp - as soon as we arrive via boat.
Welcome to Zanzibar

The beaches are stunning, water is incredibly transparent and warm enough (considering it's winter here) to enjoy a relaxing bath

Nugwe beach

There are several tiny islands surrounding the main one, a one day trip on the boat is worth even if the weather is not optimal. Beware of the crew: our sailor gets sick after few minutes....

Zanzibar is extremely affected by tides. During low tide you can almost walk on the surface. It's the best time for paying on the beach or far away in the water

Sunset is a special moment. Watching the big red ball disappearing with thousands of colours....is just magic
