  • Sahara Marathon

    25 March 2019 by

    Mi stavo allenando da un poco e a novembre ho deciso che se prima maratona doveva essere, che Sahara Marathon fosse! Almeno avrei unito l’utile (la mia prima maratona) al dilettevole (il viaggio ospitata dai Saharawi). Ho iniziato ad allenarmi seriamente sin da subito, ma a fine anno, uno strappo muscolare mi ha bloccato e… Read more

  • Some tips to climb the Kili

    6 November 2018 by

    The Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, and known as one of the Seven Summit.

    Even if there is no technical issues to face and it could be described as a hike, the high altitude could cause problem and in some case could be fatal.

    Every year, approximately 1,000 people are evacuated from the mountain, and approximately 10 deaths are reported. The actual number of deaths is believed to be two to three times higher. The main cause of death is altitude sickness, hypothermia and falling. Everyone climbing Mount Kilimanjaro should be familiar with the symptoms of altitude sickness.

  • Something about boat tour in Flores (Komodo)

    15 May 2018 by

    Just after my experience these are my recommendation:
1.      Do not use Indonesian Boat od Yanto and for sure do not send money in advance!
2.      If you want to book in advance, do it, but with Wunderplus. It would cost 15.000.000 IDR for a private tour for 2 person on the Mimic all included. The boat is really good, safe and clean. European standard
3.      Snorkeling equipment could be rent in the shops close to the harbor for 15.000 IDR. I do suggest to come with your own mask and to rent just only the fins.
4.      I do suggest to arrive in Labuan Bajo and to go directly on the harbor …

    01.08.2006 – Martedì – 1° giorno Italia – Cairo – Bangkok Potrei non dire molto di questa giornata passata fra un aeroporto e l’altro, ma per me il viaggio inizia non appena arrivo all’aeroporto a fare il check in. Eccomi, alle 6:00, in perfetto orario, incontrare Federica; ha sonno quanto me, è già stravolta, anche… Read more

  • Cross Borneo trek – luggage

    14 November 2017 by

    Less is better! At the end you would anyhow stink!

    Really important is to cram everything inside waterproof sack!

    In the following list what I guess that is a must to have with the brand name and the weight. If you would click on the brand name, you would be redirect to the website.

    All the rest in my opinion is not needed!
