practical advices (ranging from flight to change, from health to
climate); hundreds of events all over the world (from the Hindu
festival to the migration of whales); a memorandum on how to take
travel pictures; an interview to the Chilean writer Luis Sepulveda;
a short story taken from the travel journal “Hitchhiking to the
Himalaya” by the Indian writer Vikram Seth; and then the main geographical
and tourist sites on Internet, typical recipes from some regions
of the world, but also the principles of sustainable tourism and
a list of useful addresses ranging from embassies and tourist boards
to solidarity and protection associations |

dancing and leaping, and singing, and whilst singing he
put the sand and dust on his head"
