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

Ngoro

'Ngoro 'ngoro, UNESCO patrimone, is one of the biggest craters in the world. Approaching the internal part is just magic. From the above the view is breathless.

Entering the crater is an experience. The little spots visible from the above now become huge parts of green vegetables, savana, or semi-desert vegetation.

And of course, behind the bushes some well known animal is hiding.

The campsite is on the edge of the crater. It is quite a primitive place, and it has a peculiarity: since the crater can be extremely dry, during the night some animals usually climb the hill to look for something to dring.

Our dinner is interrupted by a giant Elephant. Watching such a huge - and cute - animal approaching a few meters from you, and NOT watching the scene from a jeep... can be a little scary. Anyway, he only wants to grab some water from the camp cistern, few minutes and he disappears into the dark, not caring about hundreds of wondered campers rumoring.

Before going to bed, another inctrusion, a bunch of zebras decide to feed themselves in the middle of the tents zone. They are quite busy with their dinner, and they can be approached very closely.Wow....
