The magic of BalkansTT
Also the Edition 2018 He renewed the "magic" of BalkansTT: to discover-a few hundred kilometres from "home"- a completely different world from that newspaper, made of huge and wild spaces, where life seems to be suspended in the forms and rhythms of centuries ago.
In 7 days pass 7 States (Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania), and this carousel of boundaries, of languages and currencies creates an initial effect of emotional disorientation: then you leave the relative security and familiarity of the Ribbon of asphalt to start on paths and tracks that the Navigator don't even imagine, and here begins an adventure that really exciting experiences reserve who is willing to step out of your usual "comfort". Nature assume dimensions which we are no longer used, It feels smaller in a horizon where no one sees a soul as far as the eye, but you feel alive, extraordinarily alive! Those devices on which we are normally accustomed to trust to meet every need and resolve any issues – from mobile phones connected to the web to credit card- Here again becoming inanimate entities, powerless, forgotten at the bottom of a purse Pocket. In hours away from any form of "civilization", It's back to discover those fundamental values too often neglected in everyday hustle: their first quality, of calm, of lucidity, of ingenuity to remove a flat tire in the middle of a forest, of determination to overcome moments of difficulty and tiredness. And when these are wavering, don't seem to be enough, Here's comes out what it's like to face a challenge not in isolation, self-referential, but as part of a group from the common destiny: and then they will be travelling companions-of complete strangers until the beginning of the week, with which you are now in total intimacy and fellowship- that will help you get up, or that with the water up to your knees you will push out of the puddle you planted. And share with them the many remarkable episodes of the crossing, the mountains climb on ancient military roads carved into the rock cliffs, the ridges suspended between the Green and the endless blue of the sky, the horses Gallop in the wild that seem to challenge you, children who descend at breakneck speed from their poor shepherds ' huts-eyed looks as though strapped of the Martians. And in the evening, Rinse away dust and tiredness, retrace before an overflowing beer mug businesses just experienced, and already sketch on maps those who will occupy the next months of dreams and preparations.
