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

Welcome to Africa

RTW trip starts from the beginning of everything: Africa. Tanzania is great for its nature and some days of Safari is a "must" activity. The first stop is in Arusha, from where our tour begins.

Gnus and Elephants during Safari

The animals barely seem to notice us when passing through, they are living their life like everyday.

The Elefant is just HUGE. They seem to be very calm animals, however I would never look for any issues with them

 

Zebras are cute. They spend the day looking for [and eating lot of] grass, and hoping not be part of somebody else meal...

 

 

As time passes by, you get used to see so many animals you would never imagine. It is just a matter of waiting, they will appear somewhere
