Next day I was so tired that I decided to stay one more day at the lodge. This lodge is managed by a wonderful Italian couple S.&F and they also managed a school close by. They cook really good Italian food and it is everything homemade. From the lodge you can see...

I arrived in Blantyre at 7am ish. The city was already awake. As usual taxi drivers and vendors tried to sell me something. I always try to look confident and walk straight out of the bus station. If you look a little lost or new to the place is the end. I started to...

The car taxi are probably the most uncomfortable next to the minibus. We are fitted in about 10 people in a car that can take just 5. The boot is just another place to fit people. After arriving in Karonga which is the first ‘town’ in the north after crossing the...

Before crossing the border to Malawi I thought it was a good idea to stop by Matema. A tiny village in the middle of nowhere towards the Malawian border. There is literally one road and is located nearby this phenomenal mountains lying on Lake Malawi. I would consider...

It has been a while since I last wrote my blog. A lot of good and bad things happened. I needed time to heal and to get back into myself. I got off the radar in order to have the necessary time to forgive myself. I made many mistakes lately. I just didn’t know how to...

As always I had problem at the border. This not the first time that happens! Is it my hair? or my passport? or the way I breath or walk? “Your passport expires today”, the Ugandan officer said. “Yes I know. I was told from the Kisumu immigration office that my visa...

After Mfangano Island I got back to kisumu just for a few days. I wanted to go hiking in the Monkey rock.  It was a quite challenging hiking as it is a fairly small mountain but its full of rocks and so more difficult to hick. Two days before crossing the border I...

I was waiting this moment for the last 3 months. I wanted to leave Nairobi so badly that I couldn’t get hold of myself. I worked so much for the community, the skatepark and the children that I was just incredibly tired and wanted just to go off traveling as my trip...

Nairobi life was incredibly intense. We finally managed to finish to paint the skatepark (800 m2 ). It took 3 months  and a lot of drive and determination to complete it . We had to fix the park with cement before we could even think to paint it. The children’s home...

This is an extract of an old diary (over 6 years ago now). This is who I was and what also brought me to who I am now. I thought very carefully if to make it public was the right choice. I never thought I would have an opportunity to do so.  Everyone suffered for...

Organising my thoughts is the hardest thing. Writing them almost impossible. Procrastination seems a good way to survive my mental struggles. I get at the end of the day that I have no energy to deal with thoughts. I hate my thoughts. Sometimes they are too...

Before I even book the ticket to Kenya I was already been injected vaccines. At this point I realised that I had to move fast and to finally book the ticket.  I wanted  to go to Italy though, to one of my best friend in Turin for a quick visit and also wanted to catch...

Since I can remember my biggest dream was always to travel across Africa. When I was a child I used to watch on the TV ‘Alle Falde del Kilimanjaro’. It was the only TV program I would watch (except that I used to watch a loads of cartoons too). It was all about...
