Akis Temperidis

I was born in Greece but the world is my home. I have travelled a lot since I was very young. I always loved cars, motorcycles and adventure sports. I love writing and photography. This is my job.

I have driven and raced the best cars and bikes in the world. I have visited the most exotic places. I have reported on radio flying on a helicopter. I have worked on TV programs. I was lucky to meet inspiring people, F1 drivers, car designers or Olympic medalists. I lived for a year in the jungle, in Africa. I fulfilled my ultimate dream, to travel around the world! I did it with my wife in a Land Rover car, covering 170.000 km. in 67 countries in 1177 days! But still, I have several dreams to go after...

Now I am back to Europe. I have settled in Emilia Romagna, Italy in the mecca of super cars, lambrusco wine and parmiggiano reggiano cheese. As long as I work to finish my book from our around the world adventure, I write travel and lifestyle articles for several media around the world. But with a simple, original perspective. I live to write more than I write to live.
