[Music]
good morning thank you very much everyone for
be here thanks to you lucena for
gift of the opportunity to be the first
today’s lecturer to break
the ice and I wish it to be the beginning
also inaugurate a long and
fruitful trajectory parate de lucena
Throughout my life I have visited many
countries
I’ve known countless people who
professed cultures ideologies
philosophy and religion is very different
what they had in common is that all
they needed to believe in something and give a
explanation to why we are here
find a meaning to existence
because what is the meaning of life to
its deeper meaning have a
nice body a car and a big house
is to succeed in our careers
climb the highest mountains of the
planet
to be happy is to enjoy in the company of
ours to have a family to take care of
world in which we live serve the
glory of god I would dare to say that
life has as many senses as
people inhabit the planet
what is certain is that we all have a
dream a path a mission is a
be a miracle to be alive today
here and now fate gives us the
opportunity and responsibility for
write the blank pages that
we have ahead in the book of
our life and we should all be
brave to fight for it without fear
as impossible as it may seem and without fear of
failure because the value of a person
they give it or the times it falls but the
who is able to get up again
work and fight until getting to be the
better version of ourselves as
said nelson mandela we are not afraid to
the darkness but to our own light to
recognize that we are capable of the most
big
I’ll tell you a story
story of a dream my last
adventure that took me for three
years to go around the world
walking look this is a map is the
map with the itinerary that is followed to
throughout my adventure on March 21
of 2000
13 began at kilometer zero of the
Puerta del Sol in Madrid and walked
Spain France Italy Slovenia Croatia
Serbia Bulgaria Bulgaria Turkey Georgia Armenia
iran india nepal bangladesh thailand
malaysia singapore indonesia australia
chile bolivia ecuador panama costa rica
nicaragua honduras el salvador guatemala
mexico united states portugal and
back to Spain after three years of
travel four continents europe asia
oceania and america
thirty one countries and 33 thousand
kilometers on foot and alone without
assistance and without interruptions
many of you will ask
How did the idea come about
the idea arose as it could not be from
another way walking I like the
sport i like to travel i like the
adventure
I like to write the photograph had
made other routes and other trips on foot
as the transpyrenean had been by
above the arctic circle in
lapland the sahara desert and one day
I was so comfortable in contact with the
nature with the elements coming to
the sites by my own feet that happened
for my head the idea and the return to
world walking why not
however one thing is that we are
ideas occur and a very different one is
take decisions
so here I am looking at the globe
terrestrial how he looked hamlet his
skull to be or not to be deciding if
continue with my normal life that was not
nothing wrong or throw me to the conquest of
this dream there are brakes
there are resistances to overcome is a journey
dangerous that you do not know if you’re going to
come back alive and if you go back to who are you going to
be and if you’re going to be able to again
fit into a speech and a routine that
maybe you’ll get big ones or
very far
In short, I did not know if I was going
to eat the world or the world was going to
eat to me you have to be able to
leave work your house the family the
friends a true exercise of
detachment
however, I think it ‘s a miracle to be
alive the meaning of life is to fight
for our dreams and I did not want to leave
pass the opportunity I expected that
it was too late
so the preparations will begin
the ones he took me to go around the
world walking and when I go a month
vacation
I do not know what to put in a suitcase
Well, prepare an itinerary and a
tentative schedule is to try to
contact sponsors put me
all the vaccines that have been
talking to embassies I decided to dedicate
this adventure to send a message of
conservation of nature and
planet earth with which if you have
something to say there has to be someone
who receives it
I made a web accounts in social networks
interviews in the media and
with the spirit of adventure proper to
shackleton to the conquest of the south pole
just as he prayed in his announcement he
They are looking for men for dangerous journeys
long months of darkness risk
constant doubtful return scanty salary
recognition and honor in case of success
I took my first steps in the kilometer
zero of the Puerta del Sol in Madrid
this trip is a prism with many faces
has many looks is the challenge
sporting is the message
environmental is the most reading
anthropological geography
stories of cultures of the countries that
has gone through is the message
inspirational motivational could you
talk about when I was about to
end up in prison accused of espionage
on the border between Armenian Iran
adapting present I was present in a
terrorist attack in bangladesh five
explosive devices in chain from which
He came out unharmed by miracle when he
they tried to assault guys with machetes in
El Salvador when through states
bound to 15 below zero immersed the
jonás storm or crossing the mountain range
of the Andes
However, as it is necessary to give
also to other speakers and we could
be here talking for hours
and decided to choose four moments on
first of them was shortly to start
my trip north of italy in the valley
of the previous between genoa and piacenza
I was carrying the cart wheels very
worn and punctured several times it
they finished the park
I ran out of food it was Sunday in the
mountain has no where to get it
I ran the battery of the mobile no
I could call genoa reinforcements that
They brought me food and I also fell
a storm on top that left me
soaked in the middle of the mountain everything bad
what could happen to me
it happened to me and I had no choice but to
go running shelter in the eaves of
a church in an abandoned town and
good is the beginning of the trip I do not
could throw back before the first
difficulties especially with everything
I was still ahead
curiously he spent the night and day
next leaving the town I
whole that the name of this town is
crazy or done on purpose
anyone with a new idea
he’s crazy until the idea triumphs
here we go to the second moment to
nepal nepal the north of nepal is the
himalayas
the south is all jungle jungle where there
tigers where there are elephants that do
stampedes and devastate villages snakes
crocodiles are the jungles of mobile
live from the jungle book
there are also rhinos going one day
walking along the rapid border river
between the population of saura fa and the
Chitown reservation due to the large
humidity and vegetation that there is
rivers that fall from the himalayas there are a lot
fog and suddenly started to listen
cries of local people warning of the
presence of a rhinoceros
everyone came running the only
that stayed there I was not gripped
for fear but with curiosity
because I had never seen a rhinoceros
in a wild situation
The fact is that within a few seconds of
among the fog huge animal health
common although I know they have very bad
vision but they have very good smell are
very fast despite its large size
but I also know that they are herbivores and
that he was not going to attack me to eat and
I trusted my legs in case of
need to run out
bobbing from one place to another gives me the
feeling that I was clueless
or maybe the clueless lightning and the
few seconds he gets into the river
displacing the water with its tonnage and
loses in the jungle all children are
explorers always to the conquest of
new territories
learn to walk learn to speak to
recognize the world around you
name the objects to
relate to others but
as we get older and
adults we are going to lock him up in a
true how interesting it would be to follow
retaining that same spirit of
kids scout adventure and
believe or give a margin for the
things can be in different ways to
how do we believe them because we believe we know something
is to deny that things can be a thousand
different ways
in life you have to be faithful to ones
values with learning capacity and
adaptation
einstein said that intelligence is
the ability we have to adapt to
changing circumstances and environments
takes me to the third moment in the
desert of atacama the desert more
arid of the world in chile and to which I
I had my mind on before
start the trip or a lot of radiation
solar because in this part of the globe
Earth’s atmosphere does not have ozone
the sun’s rays affect a lot
force large thermal oscillations of
50 degrees of day 25 below zero
very long distances between
populations which requires carrying a
large amount of water weight and
food to survive in
self-sufficiency and then many
unevenness because Chile is a very
mountainous
however one thing that has the
atacama desert are the heavens
most beautiful crashes I ‘ve seen
I never in the world the best
observatories are in the desert of
atacama of the honeycomb of the chair
especially thanks to having traveled
europe asia and oceania and after two months
inside a desert fighting and
giving everything
diaadia get overcome the challenge more
difficult of my trip as sherman said
cesc to emerge what really is
possible
You need to try again and again that
that seemed impossible
this trip is a demonstration of
power to believe in something but sometimes
is not enough just to believe is needed
also create steve jobs and steve
wozniak when they assembled pieces of
computers in a garage do not have the
no bank support
nowadays we all use computers the
brothers wright the authors of the first
manned flight with engine lived from a
workshop in which they rented and arranged
bicycles have been studying
baccalaureate
Today we all travel by plane
When I arrived in Mexico with a suit
Chikungunya fever is an African virus
aedes aegypti infects the mosquito
same that it spreads the dengue for which
there is no vaccine or remedy was far from
my country without social security without a
international medical insurance and
uncertainty of seeing how I was going to
cure of that investigate elaborate a
natural remedy based on clove pepper
green mango laurel and other ingredients
and in six days with 41 degrees of fever
joint pain I healed
invent innovate and create is not always
have the company with the greatest
budget or the latest technology
it’s just finding a way
original and creative different from
solve the problems and do the
things
so much so that doing something so
simple and that we all take for granted
that we are going to do it all our lives as
it’s walking I became the first
Spanish and the fifth person in the
history in going around the world to
already back to old Europe
I traveled the last 600 kilometers
from lisbon madrid to the heat of a good
game sheltered from the stars passing
my last nights out in the open
sedimenting the grounds reflecting
about the lessons I left a trip
of these characteristics
you learn a lot about history geography
of culture
however you realize that sometimes
more interesting than learning is
unlearn to realize that things
they can be in a very different way than
as the
we have learned or as we have been taught
for example you realize that the planet
It is not so big
I have covered it with my feet
seen with my eyes in a notion of the
dimensions of the planet and I can tell you
that the planet is not so big reason
more to take care of
you realize that most of the
humanity is good
violence is not the norm is not it
habitual
You get a real lesson in
humility when in countries where they have
very little they give you everything and with a
smile which takes you inexorably
appreciate what we have
I’ve been living with what
it fits on a cart washing clothes
hand showering me with cold water if it’s
that there was shower and sleeping in a
tent when you come back another
time to your home to your home to Spain
you appreciate everything very much more tighten a
button and that the light turn on open a
faucet and that water comes out sleeping in a
hot bed on March 21, 2013
I was going down the street alcalá the door
of the sun and three years later he returned
down the street back to the
kilometer zero on March 20, 2016
a demonstration that there is nothing
impossible of what we are capable of
achieve when we set ourselves a goal
and we fight for which we have the power
to create reality and write the
history that there are no borders anymore
insurmountable that that prevents us
believe in something and that the best way to
reinvent yourself
it is simply to stop inventing and
be yourself
merci beaucoup grazie mille fala
assured the magnet or dani bad night
