He worked for a big newspaper and he travelled all around the world to do his job, but for a year he didn’t go by plane. He travelled by bus, by train, by boat and by car – sometimes even by bike. He lived in Thailand, and every year he went home to Italy to see his mother. In 1993, it took him a very long time. He travelled to China by bus and train and then he started the long journey across Russia. When he arrived in Warsaw after two weeks on the train, he knew it was not far now! He was back in Europe.
