Una passione forte, che al suoi esordi, nei lontani anni ottanta, era curiosita intellettuale, desiderio di avventura, voglia di cimentarsi con le asperita della natura; e che, dopo piu de vent'anni, e ancora li a fomentare la voglia di ritornare, il desiderio di ritrovere sentimenti e sensazioni mai sopite. Una passione che nel tempo si e trasfigurata in quell'oscuro sentimento chiamato "mal d'Africa", che nessuno mail riesce a definire in modo corretto ma che immancabilmente, anno dopo anno, si ripresenta puntuale a generare nuovi desideri, a individuare nuovi obiettivi, a far sognare ancora."
