About Me

Silk road on motorhome

As you can see, in my LinkedIn I have years of professional experience in the European Union and in the United Nations among other international organizations in matters of historical and natural heritage, as well as in topics related to the environment and climate change.

My intention in my travels is to document, through photos, videos and text, testimonies and images of the silk road in these current issues. The new path of silk that China is building by land and sea is also of interest to me and I will relate it to the previous topics mentioned above.

The first phase of the trip that I hope to travel in 2018 is from Berlin to Xi-An, the ancient capital of China and China's Silk Center for centuries, adapting Marco Polo's itinerary to modern times and new safe communication routes.

In the second phase of the trip in 2019 I intend to visit Southeast Asia. The third phase in 2020 would be India, the fourth South Korea and Japan in 2021 and finally the Americas in 2022. The original idea is to travel these roads for 5-6 months for each year and the rest of the time plan the consecutive trips and give final form to the obtained documentation.

I am interested to be in contact with people truth my trip on the silk road and on the word road.
