project qafila
a personal story
When I decided to walk following the old caravans routes, I just wanted to experience the desert in another way, far from roads and cities, and living the same way nomads do when they travel. I thought I was going to do just one QAFILA (caravan), but I could not imagine I was going to do, for now, four; and overall I could not know how many things the desert was going to teach me during these travels and how many friends I was going to meet.
Even if I made an specific website where we could share all the information collected and produced for the “members” of the open research platform (I did not also know the first caravan was going to give place to such a group), I thought it would be interesting to compile all my personal journals and also to analyse what I have learnt walking with nomads…
