(ANSA)-Rome, February 18-24-year-old Umbrian man departed on Friday and cycled the longest road in the world from the southern tip of Africa to the easternmost tip of Asia. He ascends through Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt, where he sails to Turkey and crosses Georgia to reach Russia. ..“Technically, I’ve already experienced all the conditions I find, so I’m sure it’s a viable journey,” Barone told ANSA. “My main concern is what to find at the political level in Africa, a continent I’m not familiar with. “In addition, I need to find out if my head can travel for such a long time, far away from my house and my wife Aigle I met in Russia.”In his career so far, Barone has crossed 43 countries.
