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

Rapa Nui

The most inhabited isolated place in the world happens to perfectly combine incredible landscapess, stunning nature and misterious history. There is no place in the world like Easter Island(MAP), it can't be explained simpler than that...

Welcome to Patagonia

Bariloche (MAP) is my entrance gate for one of the most impressive natural area of the world: PATAGONIA

Random Paths

El Bolson (MAP) , a couple of hours south to Bariloche, is a small hippie village, a calm and relaxed place where to spend one or two nights.

Lion and Elephant

I was expecting to see Lions and Elephants in Africa, not in South America. Indeed I had not considered Puerto Madryn ( MAP) in the Chubut region of Patagonia.

Francisco Pascasio Moreno

When Francisco Pascasio Moreno, discovered the glaciar in 1877 he could not imagine how important and how famous that place would ever be. El Perito Moreno, close to El Calafate (MAP), is one of the biggest glaciars in the world.

When the trek gets tough

El Chalten( MAP ), in the Santa Cruz Argentinian province, is a tiny village isolated from everyday life. From here several trekking paths leads to lakes, rivers, mountains..

Into the W

Torres del Paine ( MAP), in the Chilean Patagonia, is one of the most famous National parks for trekking in Patagonia, if not in the entire world. Get a tent, a sleeping bag, some food and enjoy the contact with nature in a complete way, without any needs of civilization and/or real world.
