DESTINATION HUMANS
Running across the world at human speed.
Not the fastest route — the most human one.
A project by Ezio Marchetti
Welcome to
Destination Humans
I'm Ezio Marchetti.
I’m crossing the world at human speed — moving from community to community, stopping wherever there’s a human story worth listening to.
Not to break records, but to meet the people who remind us what the world is really made of.
Core values
HUMAN SPEED
Moving slowly enough for things to happen. Conversations, detours, unexpected moments. Slowness is not a limit, it’s the method.
CONNECTION
People come first. This project is not about crossing places, but about meeting those who live in them.
PRESENCE
Being fully there. Experiencing first, documenting after. Paying attention to what’s in front of you.
CURIOSITY
Choosing to understand before judging. Listening openly, without needing quick conclusions.
CARE
When you truly see people and places, indifference fades. And that’s where change begins.
The journey
This is a journey on foot around the world — running and walking across continents at human speed.
Around 30–40 km a day, carrying everything I need, moving slowly enough to stop, listen, and connect. Not following the fastest route, but the most human one.
Chapter I - Europe
In June 2026 I will start from North Cape, Norway, and move south on foot.
I’ll cross countries and communities at human speed, following curiosity rather than the fastest route.
Chapter II - Africa
From Europe, the journey is expected to continue into Africa.
The path is not fixed and will follow people and stories along the way.
