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

My flight from Sydney stops in Auckland (New Zealand) for a few hours. It then leaves the continent at 16:00 and lands in Santiago del Chile (MAP) at 11:50, the same day. That means two things: time travelling is possible, and the new adventure in South America just started.

Santiago de Chile

The Chilean capital city seems to be really organized, lots of events going on at the same time, yet this does not seem to affect summer is approaching and weather is just perfect: not too cold, not too hot.

As most centra/southern Americas countries, main square is called "Plaza de armas". Here you can find the complete mixture of poor, reach and all cosmopolitan people leaving the city. All surrounded by big buildings, shopping malls and shops of every kind.

Bellavista barrio, Santiago

The market area is an adventure itself: huge separated buildings each one with a peculiar speciality (fish, meat, pet food, tools, fruit...) where to get the best deals of the city.

Central Market, Santiago

Among the other, the fish market is not that big, however, it is really traditional. There is even a band playing music for: they will just ask for some fish to local workeers at the end of the performance.
