travel water

11 Apr

Preparing the motorbike for the start of my trip in Greece represent a step of the begin of consciousness of what this will mean for me.

Starting to organize the trek and not only! The first time that I will travel alone, with my motorbike Honda 500 cc “ Tarantina”, to discover water realities but also my limits, possibilities and capacities to be in touch with myself and my country on the road, Greece.

Here we go. The weather seems to be good and the motorbike is ready!

The sun will sustain me in this first part of my trip.
