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

1.000.000 seconds from departure: RTW trip will start in 12 days!
Passport is ready, Visas requested, Vaccinations done... equipment purchased, battery charged, what else? Still some time to find the best insurance and then GO!

 

While in Rome, latest activities will be testing equipment (SLR Camera, Scuba Camera, Netbook, GPS Smartphone etc...)


testing TAMRON 10-24 lens shooting "Palazzo della Civilta' Italiana", Rome

The Luggage Creator will help preparing the bag, yet there will always something left home. Maybe on purpose, maybe because of the final rush, next week. 210 days are difficult to plan in advance, mostly if have never been in the places you are going to. Besides, I have tons of idea on how to customize this trip, this once-in-a-live experience, on the way travelling this website will be continuously change and enriched with new parts/functionalities. Now it is time concentrate on the route: tons of impressive places, outstanding wonders, incredible culture and extravagant languages are about to bump into my life... wish me luck, I need it!
