The Lonely Journey by Giovani Cordioli

We humans are social animals. We normally prefer others around us and enjoy sharing experiences with others. In some situations, some of us like to experience the world alone, for so many reasons. To reconnect with nature, to challenge ourselves, to see places that require endurance and perseverance, and to free our minds of the busyness of modern life. It's a passion that has evolved into a way of life for many people all over the world. Some people have a deep spiritual need that the pilgrimage seems to satisfy, especially for those brave enough to tackle the journey on foot.

“Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.” -Rachel Carson
