"Un viaggio di un anno in giro per il mondo è un'opportunità per imparare qualcosa di più sulla geografia del nostro pianeta. Più vado avanti, infatti, e più mi rendo conto di quanto le nostre conoscenze in questo campo siano contaminate da una percezione distorta della realtà che ci circonda. Ogni popolazione ne è vittima, a modo suo, a seconda del paese in cui vive, del continente, del clima e della filosofia che ne ha formato la cultura in secoli e secoli di storia."
