My view of the world



MY VIEW OF THE WORLD

History, places, Peoples and cultures from my point of view

I’ve always organised my own trips, spending days searching for affordable transport or choosing new destinations from among the most famous attractions and the most remote corners of the Earth.

I often chat to my relatives, friends and acquaintances about the places I’ve been and adventures I’ve had.
When I meet other travellers somewhere in the world, it’s normal to swap info about places we haven’t been to yet or to see if we have the same ideas about a place we’ve both been to.

Every second I’ve spent on the road gave rise to cosmorevas.tk

We have always been accustomed to imagining Europe at the centre of the world, America in the west, Asia in the east, Africa in the south.
We have always been used to thinking of Europe as the centre of the world, with America to the west, Asia to the east and Africa to the south. But is this really the case? Is this an objective vision?
Do the maps we study represent reality?

Travelling also means not having blinkers, not having prejudices, not having dogmas.
You have to immerse yourself in the reality that you go to visit, as guests, trying to understand stories, traditions and cultures.
To travel is to improve yourself.

Even the name of this site, cosmorevas, represents my way of traveling:

cosmo

On 12 April 1970, Cagliari won their first Scudetto.
Nine years earlier, on 12 April 1961, the USSR conquered space thanks to Jurij Alieksievic Gagarin.
The cosmonaut, the son of a carpenter father and a farmer mother, the son of the Red October Revolution, left the Baiconur Cosmodrome at 09.07 Moscow time on board the Vastok1 spacecraft, completed a full Earth orbit and returned to Soviet soil after almost 90 minutes.
One of my favourite places in Moscow is the Cosmonaut Museum.
This is a place where you can dream.

When I started travelling, I never thought I’d end up covering so many kilometres around the world. I think that one day I’ll feel like Gagarin, looking at Earth from space, without borders.

In the early 1990s Sardinia was a technological center of absolute competence and relevance.
This is where one of the first Italian providers was born, the first Italian website, the first European online newspaper.
When I was at secondary school, Tiscali gave us free internet access from home with 56kbps USB modems.
There weren’t many websites at the time, they were slow and mainly focused on culture.

That’s how I discovered Esperanto.
As early as the late 1800s there was a need for a common language that could unite humanity and eliminate some misunderstandings.
The idea wasn’t to replace all the world’s languages with Esperanto, but to create a neutral language that didn’t belong to any particular country. This was to avoid giving total importance to a single national language, which would have created a form of subordination for those who had to learn it and a sense of superiority for those who already used it as their mother language.
Esperanto, the language of ‘those who hope’, was created by mixing words from Romance, Slavic, Caucasian, Germanic and non-Indo-European languages.
I don’t speak Esperanto – who knows, maybe one day – but I’ve always liked the idea.
Revas in Esperanto means dream.
Every trip I take is a dream, and I’ve learned that by travelling I can make my dreams come true.
Traveling to Cosmos is now my biggest dream.
We’ll see when I can tell this journey as well…

.tk

Each traveler searched for a travel destination rotating the globe and then stopping it with one finger.
For some strange reason (perhaps it’s just a statistic, as the blue planet is about 70% covered by water), the finger aften ends up in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean or the Pacific Ocean.
If you look more closely, you might even find yourself ‘touching down’ on a small island or atoll you didn’t even know existed.
That’s how I added Tokelau to my list of future destinations.
If you do a bit of research, you’ll find that you can make your own website for free using the .tk domain.

There are some limitations, but these can be overcome by upgrading to a paid domain, which would also contribute to the country’s GDP.
The otherside of this coin is that many use the free domain to spam and that’s why the .tk domain is practically obscured by google.
I am embarking on this adventure knowing that I’ll be off Google, so pretty much off the internet world too.
I don’t use google for my search, but I use duckduckgo.
I hope you undertend my choose and You will help me.
