Italian Carlo Taglia traveled all over the planet by land and sea

29-year-old Italian Carlo Taglia traveled all over the world by land and sea. In order to know the world and know himself, he traveled 95,450 kilometers in 528 days

18 months of free time, a plane ticket to get to the starting point, lack of fear. This is the formula for a successful trip around the world: three elements that can open any door, according to the 29-year-old traveler and blogger Carlo Taglia.

His last adventure, during which he calculated the equation of happiness, began in Kathmandu, in Nepal, with a simple handshake. Carlo was looking for an escort to go through the Annapurna massif. So he met Kim a guy born and raised in the Himalayas, who introduced himself as a "mountain climber." Carlo believed him and took with him: thus began a journey of 528 days, 95,450 kilometers and 24 nations. Traveling without a plane. You can survive it together with the main character with the help of vivid photographs and live descriptions on the pages of the special site of the Italian edition of La Stampa, entitled "Isn't It Paradise?" www.lastampa.it/medialab/webdoc/se-questo-e-il-paradiso

Carlo Taglia's journey is an odyssey on the contrary, "a study that took me far from home in search of myself." A prolonged adventure gave him time and the opportunity to learn more about other cultures, to live among the peoples with whom fate had encountered. And be cured. After a difficult teenage period, illness and death of a relative, Carlo found a way to get rid of the grief that captured him.

For a year and a half, he left his usual life. Budget? All of his savings, 13 thousand euros, plus occasional earnings while traveling.

After Annapurna, reaching its peak, Carlo approached the border with India. He entered Gorakhpur, the entrance gate to the country. There he knew the life of a border city, letting thousands of indifferent travelers pass by, able to ignore even the human corpse, lost at the railway station among garbage and rats. India Carlo crossed from north to south. There he communicated with hermits, practiced meditation, and visited Buddhist shrines.

  

For a while he even worked, went to sea on a yacht with two Indians. Then he went to Kuala Lumpur, got involved in an adventurous campaign in the jungle and again climbed north to get to China. I walked around Shanghai, visited South Korea and sailed on a cargo ship to the other side of the planet. After twenty days of traveling, he ended up in Buenaventura, in Colombia. Carlo likes to recall this city as "the most dangerous in the world, with mortality rates higher than in Baghdad and Mexico City."

From the port of Buenaventura, South American adventures began. Carlo tasted Ayahuasca, the magic drink of the Amazonian and Andean tribes. He danced on the streets of Rio, worked in Cordoba (Argentina), climbed the peaks of Patagonia, plunged into the waters of volcanic lakes at an altitude of four thousand meters. After that he returned to Europe and crossed all of it, up to Vladivostok.
