The coast-to-coast of Canada is one of my crazy ideas. By train from Jasper all the way to Toronto; 3 out of 4 days of an ocean-to-ocean commute. I skipped the first day (done by plane), to be more in the Rocky Mountains, I am on an 18-day trip, solo and using public transportation, that…

When I had planned the trip, I certainly had not thought about the fires in Canada. I knew there had been, even in the area where I would be, but I had not imagined that I would see the effects. This is the third video from Canada, still in one of the Rocky Mountain wilderness…

I am in the Canadian Rockies, specifically in Banff National Park. In this article is the second almost live video from the trip to Canada. First, however, I must say that the ending of Vancouver was very sad. I unexpectedly ran into what are called zombies, the new fentalyn junkies. Some streets, downtown, are full…

For once I am highlighting the most mundane of photos taken…

That of stupid death is a theme that fascinates me a lot. Also because I still haven’t figured out whether it makes me laugh or cry. The award for the stupid death of the year. By now there are rankings for everything; one that I find very significant is just that on the dumbest deaths…

If someone had asked my fellow travelers what to do in Cuzco, they would have given him a very different answer than I did. My trip to Guatemala, Honduras and Belize was also in a group and I had the same impatience at the end. I think it is clear that the group is not…

In New York City parties is a verbatim account of some of the traveling oddities that happened to me on a trip I took to the United States. Please note that the audio is in Italian. It was a short but intense trip, in fact I will dedicate two episodes of the podcast to it.…

Altitude sickness was my concern for this trip, partly because of my hypertension. Read more about it here ; I started getting sick when I got to 4,000 meters, there are those who suffer from it much earlier. Years later in Bolivia, however, I dealt with it differently and had no problems. My general practitioner…
