    Description

    Hi my name is Claudio and I have always lived on the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples.
    It is a wonderful place whose wild and volcanic nature has been irreparably modified to accommodate mass tourism, with guests seeking worldliness and less natural beauty.
    However, I have always preferred to live the Island following a sporty, simple lifestyle in contact with Nature.
    For many years I have shared and freely passed on my passion for sea kayaking, hiking and cycling.
    I like making new friends and promoting a different island on Instagram: Nature, Sport, Sharing and Hospitality.
    I could have organized adventure holidays, or what I'm thinking now is that a small sports community could be created, only of selected people with the same vision, which would at least become sustainable in the future and not just a cost for me.
    For part of the day I work on the computer and for the rest of the time I go out and play sports alone or in company.
    I don't like evening life so much, but I'm always out during the day.
    During the first part of the Summer I like to dedicate myself to a small vegetable garden on the terrace.
    I am very sensitive and passionate about psychology.
    As you can see from my photos, I have always supported women in sport, and this project is mainly dedicated to them.
    In fact, where I live, I think due to a question of mentality, there are a thousand men on mountain bikes for every woman on mountain bikes, the percentage is similar for sea kayaking, while there are more women than men who go hiking, but only for short routes.
    I believe that the most precious thing we can achieve in life, which has a term unknown to us, is the quality of time and the quality of the people with whom we share it. Ciao 🌞
