The diary of a 24 year-old Italo Australian boy, both exhilarating and dramatic, private and, at the same time, shared. A nine-month long exploit which excited thousands of people on two continents. In 2011, accompanied by two friends, Valerio Daniel De Simoni broke the world record for travel on small four-wheeled vehicles (an achievement celebrated in the Guinness World Records, 2013). But his journey was above all one of initiation into the heart of the World. With his Quad Squad Expedition he crossed Europe and Africa in order to gather delightful images, strong feelings and a great deal of funds for humanitarian causes. But from the very beginning his writings describe a more intimate search that goes beyond mere adventure: self-knowledge and global consciousness, a sense of friendship and individual growth, an acknowledgement of one’s own limits and a desire for maturity.Valerio is the young representative of a possibly better world who passionately dialogues in two languages, with all the means at his disposal,with every person of good will, from Sydney, where he was born, toLilongwe, the city where he met his death.
