| Some final thoughts, summed up by this poem by Gio Evan, poet and songwriter (translated from Italian).
	 
	Try to travel, otherwiseyou may become racist,
 and you may end up believing
 that your skin is the only one
 to be right,
 that your language
 is the most romantic
 and that you were the first
 to be the first.
 
 Travel,
 because if you don't travel then
 your thoughts won't be strengthened,
 won't get filled with ideas.
 Your dreams will be born with fragile
 legs and then you end up believing in tv-shows,
 and in those who invent enemies
 that fit perfectly with your nightmares
 to make you live in terror.
 
 Travel,
 because travel teaches
 to say good morning to everyone
 regardless of which sun we come from.
 
 Travel,
 because travel teaches
 to say goodnight to everyone
 regardless of the darkness
 that we carry inside
 
 Travel,
 because traveling teaches to resist,
 not to depend,
 to accept others, not just for who they are
 but also for what they can never be.
 To know what we are capable of,
 to feel part of a family
 beyond borders,
 beyond traditions and culture.
 Traveling teaches us to be beyond.
 
 Travel,
 otherwise you end up believing
 that you are made only for a panorama
 and instead inside you
 there are wonderful landscapes
 still to visit.
