Claudio is an Italian traveler and blog author (8.300 followers on FB) that happens to have diabetes. He left his good paying job at Deutsche Bank and embarked on a 3 year trip throughout the world without taking any flights. His journey is a journey for everyone, not in the sense that everyone should undertake a similar one, but in the sense that you should try to do what you really want, independently of the obstacles. We met in Siem Reap, Cambodia, because we were in the same guest-house. After talking for a while about what we were doing, we decided to tape a small interview about traveling. View our video interview and accompany us on this journey, it’s a rewarding conversation.
