I’m Davide, born and raised in the province of Bergamo in Italy although I have lived in Dublin (Ireland) for quite some time. I practised competitive cycling for 13 years and now after not having touched the bike for over fifteen years, I decided to embark on a long journey across the Americas: from Alaska to Patagonia.
UPDATE: I decided to continue the trip beyond Patagonia and cross all the continents on a round the world adventure. I've done: Americas, Africa. Currently crossing Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starting this trip from Deadhorse, Prudhoe Bay in the middle of August was pretty amazing, if I can say so myself :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make a great risotto.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook Italian meals and I can tell you some good stories from my trip like that time I come face to face to a grizzly or this one time when a black bear ripped my front panniers and trashed my tent or that other time that a truck reversed into me or when I was held at gunpoint. Clearly there's plenty to choose from…
