Italian Backpacker
At the age of twenty-two, he started a nomadic life. Leaving his safe haven, he took off for Africa. From this experience he wrote my first travel book “Africa: a muzungu’s journey in the savannah”. He tells his experience to give readers a boost in leaving those four walls that surround their lives, especially to get closer to a great life experience, volunteering.
After Africa, I decided to leave for Australia.
In Australia, specifically in Sydney, he worked in a construction company. After six months he bought a van and built a mobile home for it, and then decided to leave Sydney and travel. In that period he had many experiences: from working on farms collecting broccoli and cauliflower, to living for months on an organic farm, learning the art of healthy living between yoga and meditation. Other experiences always lived in the Australian woods and then driving towards the red desert. From this experience his second book Australia was born: Where dreams come to life.
After two years, he left Australia to embark on another great journey. A journey through Asia.
The journey to Asia began in Indonesia. He has lived in Bali, Lombok, Yogyakarta and in the Newfoundland community located on the island of Sumatra, North Indonesia. With a boat ride, he landed in Malaysia and lived on Tioman Island for a month. Then he moved to Georgetown and lived for a while in a Krishna temple located in Butterworth.
He then moved to Thailand, immersing himself in Buddhist culture and religion. Then Cambodia: in this land he taught English in a village school located in Siem Reap.
He then went to Vietnam: crossing it from south to north with other public transport. Where he arrived in Laos, then on to Myanmar. In the city of Yangon, he volunteered with an association that helps the terminally ill.
Antonio has also travelled to India, Dubai and soon travelled on bicycle through Turkey, Greece and finally back to his hometown Empoli in Italy.
After a few months of work in France and other experiences in Europe, in 2017 he decided to take a flight to America. Right now he is still traveling, trying to live for several months in each traveled state, realizing life experiences and volunteering. In Colombia, he once again decided to travel on a bicycle.
Antonio is now in South America.
