Backpacker when this term wasn't yet used, YouTuber, lover of other cultures travels the world since he was a boy, In a long journey that leads him to transform himself into a cartoon! Today we follow The anti-traveler in his eccentric itineraries.
Welcome to Easy Travel hosting! Backpacker when that term wasn't yet used, writer and even puppet
But thanks, a welcome to you!
The anti-traveller was a young man curious to discover the world, then he was a sophisticated and fashionable intellectual, and now he has become a mature gentleman who is rediscovering some of his childhood dreams: and turning into a cartoon is one of those.
Your web presence shows a great passion for literature, cinema and art. How they intersect with your love of travel?
The lowest common denominator has always been other cultures. I graduated with a thesis in History of Afro-Asian countries, I really loved African music, I managed a furniture and ethnic art shop, and in the meantime I was travelling: to know, to understand.
The cinema, Instead, it is a more recent interest, somehow linked to the natural evolution and latest prospects of my activity as an author.
Give us this image: a place, a song and a reflection on that place.
I give you Canada. But not that of the big cities: that of the boundless forests far from everything and everyone.
Island of Newfoundland, 2006. A wooden house nestled among the trees. The master, as is customary in those parts, he had left me the keys and gone off somewhere else: I was alone for miles around.
I turn on the radio to keep myself company, breaking the disturbing silence of the night and, After a long presentation that I did not understand well where he wanted to go to parry, Finally the notes of a magic song that I had never heard, of a singer I had never heard: was the mammers' Dance of Lorena Mckennitt.
Sweet and melancholy music that evokes love for the past and tradition, who speaks to you of solitude and courage, of a life left behind and one of a whole yet to be started, in a beautiful nature, indifferent and at times hostile.
Welcome beyond the sea, where everything can happen: It depends only on you…
What do you do to make your travels more ecological?
For me ecology means ethics. My ethics, not standardized.
Given this, You ask me what I do to make my travels ecological. It is easy to say: I never travel by car and as little as possible on rubber, I find it a means of transport that is both invasive and distancing.
And I try not to leave too strong a personal imprint in fragile places: the objective must be to leave the place and the people the same, after you passed. And therefore little waste, no noise, never break local balances. I'll try. a tourist, a traveler must feel this responsibility.
Which is the same thing you would ask and ask anyone who comes around your house. Never judge too much, rather help.
Dublin's homeless know something about it, where I always gladly return when I can, and to whom I leave the old clothes that I brought and wore, the evening before I left.
A way like any other to stay in a place of the heart, in silence, without appearing, without distorting it. We are made to listen, to pass in silence: otherwise, why travel?
There is no need, if you are in love with just the sound of your own voice… beh, this is me, I hope that's enough… ecological.
Thank you for the opportunity of expression offered, of your attention and that of whoever is reading me: please know that I appreciate it very much.
