We are seeking greater <strong>authenticity<\/strong> and someone finds it in incredible and long journeys around the world without ever taking a plane. 100,000 km trails on <strong>foot<\/strong>, by <strong>bike<\/strong>, by <strong>train<\/strong> and by <strong>sea<\/strong>. Slowly, to savor <strong>every<\/strong> moment and every place. And so you know more about geography, mountains to overcome, closed borders, countries at war and the oceans to cross. With slow\u00a0means the world is bigger and every corner has a story to tell. On the buses we meet the locals, on train we\u00a0can admire the landscapes change, the boats give us our space and solitude.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10096\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/pexels-photo-2-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"sailing\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/pexels-photo-2-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/pexels-photo-2-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some of these new travelers are also writers and so on Amazon you can find 3 Italian books (and for now only in Italian), halfway\u00a0between diaries and travel guides, that tell stories of life and incredible journey.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s <strong>Carlo<\/strong> <strong>Taglia<\/strong>\u00a0that in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.it\/Vagamondo-Giro-Mondo-Senza-Aerei\/dp\/1517156092?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=vagamondo&amp;qid=1461754766&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Around the World Without Planes (Vagamondo.
