A road to go “Siamo Lidia e Andrea, una coppia di backpackers, di cui uno in carrozzina. Amiamo viaggiare, e siamo convinti che il viaggio significhi scoprire posti nuovi, culture nuove, e anche se stessi. Come singoli, e come coppia, abbiamo imparato ad andare oltre le circostanze, e siamo sempre alla ricerca di soluzioni pratiche per andare oltre i limiti dell’accessibilità, e non solo. A gennaio 2023 siamo partiti per un viaggio di sei mesi che ci ha portato attraverso cinque continenti, e ci ha consentito così di effettuare idealmente il giro del mondo. Non vogliamo essere imitati, ma ci piace pensare che i nostri viaggi e il nostro modo di affrontare il viaggio possa essere di ispirazione per qualcuno, e speriamo per molti.“
