One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On April 21st 2016, I started a two months walk and lived in a very simple way untill the end of the trip. I have met amazing people from here and there (some of them are now friends of mine), slept in a convent, eated more durum-wheat and dehydrated food than ever in my all life, walked hundreds and hundreds of kilometers, learned a lot about myself, made plans for the future etc. For the very first time, I felt truly free.
