There are adventures that make us dream, that make us vibrate and that transport us to faraway places without leaving the couch. Today we are going to tell one of those stories that make you believe in the magic of travel and in the courage of the human spirit.
The protagonist is Fabio Belnome, better known on social networks as @volatadipeluca. This young man from Barcelona embarked on a journey that many might consider crazy, but for him, it is the adventure of a lifetime. With a ’98 Fiat Marea as his faithful traveling companion, Fabio decided to travel from Barcelona to Japan by road. Yes, you read that right, all the way to Japan.
Fabio is not just a simple car lover, he is a true enthusiast. He has an Instagram, YouTube and TikTok profile, all dedicated to his love for cars. And that passion is what led him to embark on this journey.
As he says himself, he loves to travel, he loves to communicate and explain things. And that’s just what he’s doing with this trip: sharing his experience, his discoveries and, of course, his love for cars.
The journey of Fabio Belnome and the Marea
Fabio left Barcelona almost 3 months ago for Japan in a ’98 Fiat Marea. Along his journey, he has crossed countries such as Turkey, Iran, Russia and Mongolia, and is currently in Japan after crossing by ferry from South Korea.
Although Fabio does not have a specific budget for his trip, he is making it with a car he bought for less than 1,000 euros. As he says, “when you have less than 1,000 euros, it’s not that you choose the car, but the car that chooses you.”
In addition to his personal savings, he is counting on sponsors to help him pay for some extras of the trip, such as the expensive ferries between Korea and Japan, for example.
