One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Illegal crossing from Namibia to South Africa by sailing on Orange River back in 2016...

Riding across South Sudan during the civil war still going on in 2015 november-december...Although the end was almost tragic, my best photography and the most interesting stories came out from there. i love south sudanese!!! they treated me well and put me again on my feet...

Crossing illegally from Nicaragua all the way to Mexico in 2022, back and forth...in order to get a new passport...one of the craziest things to do :-) successfully done ..

Listening to " A girl in Ipanema" live after making 23.000 km in Latin America at the Ipanema beach of Rio...I will never forget that saxophone player and the girl passing by...

And climbing Kilimanjaro, up to Uhuru peak, on our own, with my buddy, without a permission, guide and porter...we ended up serving 50 days jail time in Karanga prison, Moshi...it was the craziest thing todo...and we didn't regret a second;-)
