One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My Dream for many years is to go around the world. Now I've done.
I left the work and for about one year i went around the world. i left from Verona in October 2016 and i went to Savona in bike, then i took a ship to Barcelona. From Barcelona to Malaga i went along the coast in bike. Then I went to Canarias Islands then to Argentina. With a help of hitch-hiking because the distances are big and the Wind of Patagonia is terrible, I arrived to Ushuhaia, and along the Chile I went to Santiago. Then I crossed the Japan and then the South Korea. I have problem with the Visa for China and so I Flight to Estonia. I crossed all the Europe and I came back to home.
