Prendo la bici e vado in Australia

Year: 2011 Pages: 240 A "journey in life" dreamed of for almost five years; an idea that did not remain on paper but materialized in a long leap towards the east of almost 30,000 kilometres. It will be the traveling itself and not reaching the destination, Melbourne, that will give relief to Francesco Gusmeri, a young cycle traveler looking for a serenity that only the road can give him. Together with him we will stand on the pedals fighting against the Turkish climbs and the snow of the Pamir, we will gesticulate trying to make ourselves understood by gruff or shady border guards, we will overcome the 7690 kilometers of Chinese roads passing from the desert to the tropical jungle, we will finally arrive in Australia where we will entertain an idea even crazier than that of having left: staying on the other side of the world and never returning. The bicycle once again proves to be an instrument of desertion and knowledge.
