Considerations

VAGABONDO

Vagabondo is an Italian (Marsicano) Brown Bear, you can find him in the woods of Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo (150 Km. from Rome), but, as he is very shy, it is not so easy to meet.
He is different from his others European and American colleagues because of his smaller size, his nearly vegetarian diet and the passion for hiking: even during winter, in sunny days, he often breaks hibernation to take a walk on fresh snow.

MATTEO

I believe that knowing new places consents you to actually live the world, instead of merely sitting on it.
I travelled Europe in every corner by Interrail, but at the moment my favourite goals are great forests, lonely mountains and all the places where the magic of nature is to be found. Finvarra is the king of Irish woods elves, I borrowed his name and begun to publish in Vagabondo some of my adventures: between rocks and forests of Supramonte Sardo and in the huge wilderness ofAustralia.
I like all those sports that are somehow connected to exploration: from sailing to climbing to cycling. My favorite ones are definitely trekking and canyoning.
In 2004, in a fit of madness with my friend Mauriliojoined our passoin for these sports and the one for ancient chivalry and realised a medieval fantasy film: Lux Alibi.
When I'm in town I like to go to cinema, but I hate the ones with numbered places Iif you wish to contact me click here!

FIAMMA

Fiamma “Vacatio” in latin means “lack of”, a sort of “empty space” opening in every day life, a lack of daily concerns, worries, duties and tasks that we fill with nice, different, joyful things. A pleasure we begin to taste long before starting and that makes us feel richer when we are back.
I always thought that few delusions are stronger, after planning for long time a holiday, than that of finding ourselves in the wrong place and possibly with the wrong companions.
Ii'm glad to see that by means of Vagabondo people feeling like me are often able to findthe wright travelmates and and the wright destinations.

MARTINO

I'm a philosophy student at the Rome University..I decided to get involved in Vagabondo's project to put together my old passions for computers (do you remember Mr. Sinclair?) with my love for travelling. Though not so much in shape in the last years, what I've always loved best is "walking". Were it through Scottish Highlands or in some European city, I like the time and space of travelling to be decided by my steps (and by those of my travel mates).
In the picture you can see me trying to convince my friend and trekking mate Matteo (and sometime it's difficult!) that we got lost. Some say that experience is getting lost, in this case you have found expert guides. I hope that with our effort and the collaboration of many passionate travellers of any kind, this site can as the starting point to "get lost" in your travels.

CRISTINA

Cristina I live in Milan, but I'm from Genova and proud of it.
For about 20 years I travelled nearly everywhere, as a tourist guide. Then, when luggage became to be a little too heavy, I decided to exploit my previous experience and I'm now working in a travel agency.
I'm fond of reading books about travel and I buy all the possible travel magazine. I speak well three languages and i'm a fan of Latin american music, chiefly the cuban one, "Troba cubana": Silvio Rodriguez and Pablo Milanes.
