runs, runs, runs

Crucial was one of the many travel proposals that are received daily by email.
Among the many offers was the “Trans-Siberian from Moscow to Beijing”.
I was 16 at the time and it seemed like a dream to me, but now the spark started in my head…
I had been dreaming Russiasince high school and I often imagined on the train of the cartoon Galaxy Express 999 that turned the space in the footsteps of Captain Harlock.
Dopo il mio primo viaggio da solo, in Euskal HerriaAfter my first trip alone, in Euskal Herria, I spent more than a year in alternate periods organizing this, without telling anyone about bad luck and because I knew that, perhaps out of fear, they would try to convince me to desist from this madness .
I made my passport, got the necessary visas, booked the return flights and train tickets.
Now I could communicate my summer destination.
I still remember how I described the trip at home: “I have to go to Russia…but I come back from Beijing … I cross Mongolia… I do the Trans-Siberian alone!”.
I was 25, a few travel behind.
But his is THE travel .
