Travelling gave me the most beautiful and indescribable feelings: it’s difficult to describe what you feel when you are alone in boundless landscapes horizonless, under immense starry skies and you feel as you can touch it with a finger, when you listen to the most beautiful symphonies that nature can give you… endless sunset, hugs, glances, the smiles  of all the people met during my path, that often, with small actions, made me feel  the most important lessons of life… and then landscapes, deserts, seas, glaciers, far  people and cultures…only travelling you can fill luggage of your own life, a luggage never full…

Of course journey  seen as the contact with the people and the immersion in their real local everyday life, to understand and realize that our society has still a lot to learn… You only need a good plan, a good map a guide (I often use Routard),  the essential for your trip, photograph equipment, a pinch of courage, adventure, rashness and sound madness as well, and a great desire of dreaming… you need only this! Travelling in this way, flights apart, becomes rather cheap…

 

I love to report in my faithful  “journey journals” all the adventures and  ups and downs. My tales don’t claim anything beyond being a faithful testimony of the sensations picked up in worlds different from ours. They tell about what I saw and what happened to me around the world, nothing.

Then my great passion is photography too, born and grown up during my path… so far it has become an illness for me, considering the hundreds pictures I took in every journey of mine, to be called: “ the japanese”! I find wonderful to catch images, that are every day life situations, faces, landscapes, the important is that they can touch who looks at them (“in primis” who took them).

I have travelled a bit and I have realized that places or means, landscapes or  monuments, people or cultures do not determine the unicity of a journey but only our wayfarer’s spirit or as I use to say of “world’s gipsy”.
 
It doesn’t matter how, if on foot or by bike, by motorbike or by car, by plabe or by boat, you leave for a journey: you will find the world’s wonders and you will know yourself better!

"I'm a knight-errant who goes every day to seek adventures and the sense of the world: but I can not find it. - Joseph Bédier -

My advice is: “travel!” even with your mind and imagination but “travel”,and sometimes, when you can with the backpack too (as for me it’s never enough...)! The important is don’t stop… As the great Antonio de Curtis used to say: “who stops is lost!”
