FRAGMENTOS DE RUTA
About this ebook
Un viaje que duró años. Tres continentes. Una mochila. Un solo objetivo: recuperar el propio tiempo.
Un diario de a bordo que reúne los infinitos apuntes recolectados alrededor del mundo. Desde el Sudeste Asiático hasta el silencio de las cumbres del Atlas; desde el desierto del Sahara hasta el caos vibrante de Centroamérica y México, hasta la inmensidad de Sudamérica. La meta? El "Fin del Mundo", esa punta extrema de la Patagonia donde la tierra se quiebra y deja espacio al océano.

About the author
Andrea Basile was born in Monfalcone, the city where he first developed a deep passion for discovery. His journey, marked by a constant search for new horizons, led him for many years to travel as a backpacker through Europe and his native Italy, eventually pushing far beyond the borders and literally traveling halfway around the world across all continents.
From the lands of Asia to the whole of Central America, and down to the reaches of Patagonia, Andrea has made travel his primary dimension. He currently works as a specialized technician on board ships around the globe; a professional role that allows him to continue seeing new places, from the coasts of Alaska, Canada and the Hawaiian Islands, all the way to the territories of Australia and Tasmania.
His debut work is a collection of notes and diaries that the author wrote almost daily during his years of solo travel. The writing of this book began nine years ago, moving through different emotional phases of his life in a long process of stepping away and returning to it. In the last year, the desire to close this fundamental chapter of his existence pushed him to finish the work. Although he is not a professional writer, Andrea is aware that his natural expression is the key to immersing the reader in the reality of travel, offering a raw and sincere testimony that allows one to experience the road with the same intensity with which it was traveled.
He does not consider himself a tourist, but a wanderer in search of that freedom that begins where certainties end. Fragments of the Road was born from the desire to give shape to the faces, scents, and encounters that marked his journey of human growth and his unbreakable bond with the road and life.
