Viaggio Italia Around the World

Luca Paiardi and Danilo Ragona,
embark on a new adventure through Malaysia and Thailand!

On October 8th, Luca and Danilo, travel documentarians and founders of the Viaggio Italia Around the World project, set out on an extraordinary road trip that will take them across nearly 2,000 km through Malaysia and Thailand. A unique journey in its kind, undertaken on two Triride Special Light 10″ models.

Throughout the trip, Luca and Danilo will travel using a wide range of accessible transportation: adapted cars and vans, trains, scooters with sidecars, tuk-tuks, and even quads. Each stage of the journey will be an opportunity to show that accessibility and adventure are not incompatible!

This year, their endeavor supports a noble cause: a fundraising campaign for the Io Posso Association, which has long been committed to the “Tutti al mare!” project, providing people with disabilities the chance to enjoy the sea without barriers.

The adventure will be documented on Viaggio Italia’s social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok, with a full documentary to follow.

Who are Luca and Danilo?

Luca and Danilo are travel documentarians and founders of the Viaggio Italia Around the World project, created to raise awareness about accessibility and support solidarity initiatives. Through fundraising, they help improve accessibility in various places and donate aids and transportation to those in need.

Friends since their time at the Spinal Unit in Turin following serious road accidents, they have transformed their passion for travel into a mission: to explore the world in a wheelchair. Together, they have traveled across four continents, even trying extreme sports like climbing, rafting, and paragliding.

Since 2017, their journeys have been featured on the Il Kilimangiaro show on Rai3, and since 2021, their documentary has been available on SKYTV.

This journey is an important new encounter with ourselves, an opportunity to challenge ourselves as athletes and as people,” say Danilo and Luca.

The itinerary: between skyscrapers and vibrant markets.

Luca and Danilo’s journey will begin at the spectacular PETRONAS Towers in Kuala Lumpur, where they’ll enjoy a panoramic view from the suspended bridge between the world’s tallest twin towers.

The adventure will continue at the bustling Bukit Bintang night market, the beating heart of the Malaysian capital.

They will then continue to Thailand, with two unmissable stops: the Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market, a picturesque floating market, and the Maeklong Railway Market, famous for the trains that pass directly through it.

The journey will end in Bangkok, amidst culture and tradition.
