It sounds good, but there is much more behind: “This is not a luxury trip. It is an act of freedom, family learning and trust in the world. We want to show that it is possible to live more with less and teach our daughter Zion, eight years old, that the planet is his school“That is why they will leave with the minimum: a backpack and a sleeping bag, a tent for three, basic equipment …” and eager to learn, share and grow. “

The story of the climber and adventurer Albert Segura is known, among other things because he has picked it up in '20 lives': he lamented a motorcycle accident, he fell a ray, surpassed cancer, he suffered mountain mishaps … and always lived to tell. “For a few months I had a very bad time, because I did not get back from my back,” he explains to the front page, gathering precisely to the publication of his book and a report for that purpose. “Little by little I recovered motivation, I train again … and now I'm better than ever. A few months ago, speaking with Lidia, my partner, I told her that I had already done everything I wanted to do and I asked her what she wanted to do. Then he told me about the return to the world, although he later scared a little for the changes he supposed and for the age of our daughter. Zion was supercontent, however, so we decided to go forward to encourage other families. ”
If we have to regret, it's something we have done
The name of the girl, in fact, refers to a previous trip, because it is that of a national park in Utah that Albert and Lidia arrived in full pregnancy and that they consider one of the most beautiful sites they have seen in their life. “Zion has always had a slightly different education, among other things because we try not to use screens. His school has offered to send us jobs so that he does not stay behind, within the project there are digital chips with which he will work, the mathematics that he will do will come from the reserves that we are closing …“, He crumbles with respect to the year and a half or two years that the adventure could last.” We don't have to demonstrate anything to anyone, because the only failure would not dare, “he adds safe.
We don't have to demonstrate anything, the only failure would be not to dare
“Here the brave is Lidia,” he insists. “She is an official and they will not keep the square she occupies right now, but I have already told her that what I want is to see her happy. It seems that everything is fears and that, especially if you have children, you cannot do anything until they grow, but to get something you have to change something. We are going to leave almost everything behind: the house, the car, the van … I will do climbing things, and if I have to look for any work during the trip I will also do it. We threw forward. ”A house located in the center of the mountains of Prades and that served as the basis for the 'RockClimbinghouse' project, directed by the family, also remains in other hands.” Rent will serve as a small help. “

Albert has also launched a campaign of crowdfundingthrough Verkami.com and with a series of rewards for those who want to participate in the project. “Clear, We do not ask that they pay us a vacation or a luxury trip, but that we interact with how many more families, the better. There will be an interactive map, recommendations, Zion will offer his gaze, Lidia will take a newspaper, a monthly video call will be made … ”In fact, the adventurer also intends to organize some displacement of followers to share the route even for a few days, although that idea will take shape with the course of time.
“We will sleep whenever we can make free camping, under the stars. We have not yet left and Zion has already asked me three times that we live. Our plan goes through sport, so trekking, surfing, snorkeling, kayak or, of course, climbing, but especially for contact with nature and with animals“, Says excitedly.” If we have to regret it, let it be something we have done, “and in September, the return to the world.
