The comment of Fabio
We will leave this November for the heart of the
Egyptian desert. Over two weeks of walking are waiting
for me, in order to cross a distance of 250 km,
and I can't wait. A project that is finally coming
to an end after almost a year. A year ago I met
Carla. A chance encounter followed by a weird misunderstanding.
Right away I read Carla, I understood her and I
was fulfilled by her great passion for deserts.
To be close to a person that believes in something
like she does is very stimulating. Everything has
not been easy and I know the hardest part is yet
to come, but I'm not scared a bit. It was really
difficult to commit to crossing the Egyptian desert,
especially for a blind person. Other than all of
the practical considerations, there is also the
consideration for the people close to you. I would
never be able to leave my home for such an adventure
without the full consent of my wife. My wife, Oriana,
gave me her full consent after meeting Carla. From
that moment, my worries were gone and I began training.
With this, I don't want to say I don't have worries,
fears and preoccupying thoughts, but they are manageable
and just like the worries of everyday life. I am
so relaxed, I trust her. I am not scared. Maybe
this is because I am usually an optimist. I want
to challenge myself in an totally new environment,
because I have no desert experience. I have been
training almost everyday for a year, accumulating
energy like a flooded river ready to be released.
There will be a lot of difficulties, but I know
how to trust another person. We will walk side-by-side,
Carla and I.
