Synopsis

In January 2011 I left. I stretched myself, opened my arms and my heart and hugged a few dreams that had been lost, between momentous inspirations or laughter with no evil. I wanted to do something extraordinary, I wanted to meet people that weren't like me, I wanted to surrender to the effort of living with little money and various smiles. The other corner of the Eurasian continent, as far as the moon, lured me and offered me a rug made of asphalt, train-tracks and niceties. Whether with my thumb stretched out on the side of the road or a ticket in my hand, I dived in. I laughed, I cried, I loved, I fell into despair, I died and was born again, more myself and more of the world. When I arrived the wings I'd gained were too big and wouldn't fit the sky, so I took to the road again.

I went, and I came back. From here all the way over there, with fifty thousand kilometres tattooed on my soul.

And this is my story.
