| We are Federico Peis (born in 1996) and Francesca Giustini (1997), both certified chefs since several years, but also content creators, self-taught people, fast learners and volunteers. We are two free souls in love with the world and nature, looking for experiences and new adventures described through travel articles, photographs and cinematic videos. We are convinced that the best way to travel is slow and gradual, to better savor the many shades that a trip by plane cannot offer. We want to be the proof and the demonstration that it is possible to travel the world in a sustainable way, minimizing CO2 emissions by preferring low-impact transports such as a sailboat or a train. Our goal is to get on a sailing ship or a sailing catamaran during the "season" of Atlantic crossings to head to South America and make the world round trip avoiding airplanes. | |
