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

Turtle Paradise

The Great Reef Barrier in Cairns (MAP) is told to be one of the most beautiful places in the world for diving activities.

What impress at first sight is the dimension of the barrier: it extends for thousands of kilometers from south Indonesia till the south-east coast of Australia. The first dive reveal a massive presence of coral of every shape and color.

The most exiting moment is diving with turtles. There are a lot and they barely seem to care about human beings. swimming for some minutes along the reef with some of them just made my day much more pleasant. It's like they have a kind of contagious goodness.
