Fabio in the desert

The thing that I was the most impressed with was how Fabio changed in the desert. At the beginning he was a dedicated athlete going for a good physical performance, concentrated on the time and wanting to know exactly how many kilometers we had gone and how many we had ahead of us. Then the magic of the desert performed a miracle. He began to go ahead, forgetting the time and distance and feeling more and more a part of the environment that awaited us, even though he could not see the beautiful path. He was completely relaxed, enjoying the silence that gives you strength and at the end confessing that he did not want to conclude the expedition that had brought him so much emotion. His most beautiful words were, “Here I am a man that is truly happy.” Thanks to everyone who brought life to our trip together in the desert for a New Frontier allowed Fabio to have this sensation.
