Freedom is one
Backpack
Traveling is being free, It is exploring by living as one of the place, Knowing new people, flavors and smells. The journey, the real one, changes you and leaves you something that you cannot explain if not to yourself. Travel blog the west It is where Fabio talks about this path, made of unique and authentic experiences.
Hi Fabio and welcome to Easy Travel hosting! Traveler backpack on the shoulder, Do not go down as long as comforting to be able to live authentic life experiences. You tell us a little about you and when you decided to open your blog?
Comfort is absolutely not at home on my backpack trips: I don't know hotels, Taxi and restaurants; I sleep in hostels and makeshift camps, I let the locals host me via the couch surfing application, I travel by public transport and eat at neighborhood markets or local street food outlets to help small businesses.
All this mix of sustainable actions and behaviors led me to open a blog that was created exclusively to give life to my future projects and trips with the aim of helping and giving advice to travelers on a limited budget who want to immerse themselves in the local culture and live everyday life at a slow pace.
In mine backpacking travel blog you will find absolutely no tourist guides, but itineraries off the map, sustainable paths and many day trips to do in our country.
Browsing your site you immediately notice that you move on routes that are not often found in other travel blogs. India, Jordan, Israel, Palestine. What are you looking for in these places?
They are not the usual "must-see destinations" but they are tours far from tourist itineraries because it is the only way to really understand where you are and who you are dealing with.
In this list you mentioned I would add Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia just to nostalgically remember my last backpacking trip in the Caucasus before the pandemic.
These are places that a normal tourist who is passionate about travel does not include in his personal wish list, unusual places to visit and explore but truly authentic, which still retain that charm of 30-40 years ago, where everything is as before and the people are lovely and hospitable, ready to welcome and help a traveler from a different culture.
I read that you like to eat in the markets, street food and local restaurants. Could you tell us about some dishes that impressed you?
Another factor that completes my trip is the local food: during the day I waste hours wandering around the local markets between a fruit stall and a spice stall, in the street food streets to observe, understand and then taste the most amazing dishes in the world.
Seeing all those colors puts you in a good mood, we smell odors that are rarely released into our streets. I purchase spices and any object I may need to recreate a particular dish.
In India I was crazy about Samosa, an Indian street food snack that I found practically everywhere to satiate the empty stomach after long walks, a vegetarian snack made with simple products like flour, water, oil and salt and stuffed with vegetables and spices.
In Georgia, however, I recommend Khachapuri, inevitable in Georgian traditions and in the streets of any city.
Sustainable travel, that respect the environment and community. This is your travel philosophy. You could talk about it?
It's my travel philosophy, whether in Italy or around the world, whether it's a trip for a day or a month, I try to make it a reason for living even in everyday life. I try to improve myself by living as sustainably as possible within due limits.
Each of us has the obligation to respect the environment and the cultures of various peoples: on every trip we must learn to live like our hosts, respecting rules and traditions because only in this way will we be able to return home with a different spirit, ready for the next adventures.
