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

After so many days surrounded by extreme nature environment in Thailand, the arrival is Singapore (MAP) reveals a complete new world.

Singapore city seems like a little world inside a little world. Even though the majority of people are still south East Asians, here you will find a complex mixture of any kind of culture and roots. Here's little India, where it is really possible to travel in space and being surrounded only by little people and little restaurant from India, the real one.

There is a little Islamic community and of course you can find little Chinese guys going around in Chinatown. There are thousands of Italian restaurants, there are people studying and travelling from all over the world.

Yet the most impressive part of the city is its incredible architecture. There are hundreds of building of any kind and colour. The center is filled with skyscrapers with unusual geometry. They are all shopping malls, hotels or business centers.

Marina Bay is the exception in the exception. The highest top quality and eccentric building of the city stands isolated from the rest of the skyscrapers. The shapes resembles a (huge) boat. On top of three towers.

The main entrance is welcome with an impressive geometry effect. There is also a string quartet performing live music, artists, shopping mall. Going further you can find theaters, casino and there's even an internal river which can be sailed by little boat.

The roof top hosts the highest swimming pool in the world. Not accessible to visitors, one can only imagine the sensation of having a swim 57th floors from the above...

The view from the above is impressive. The whole city can be observed with a different angle. What had appeared as huge buildings now are tiny blocks in the overall picture.

The city is continously evolving. New districts are about to be built, lots of skyscrapers are still to be finished. It seems a neverending work in progress place.

Singapore probably offers its best view during the night, when life becomes crazy with neverending parties, pubs, fancy places and incredible lights.mari
