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

From the Bay

Byron Bay ( MAP) is a small city set on the the most eastern Australian location. Two days of relax in this calm city helped to recover from the rushing schedule I have had so far.

South America

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

Valpo

Just a hour and a half driving from Santiago, on the Chilean coast there is Valparaiso (MAP), "Valpo" for the locals. It is a colourful town where lots of artists have found the good inspiration to come, and possibly live for a while.
