I have been wondering for a long time and after several travel experiences, why for more than twenty years there has been a rediscovery and growing curiosity towards the typical paths of all religions and why different authors have published best sellers on the subject, first of all Paulo Coehlo with “The Pilgrimage”. The remote origins of the pilgrimage are lost in the biblical pages and the pilgrimage understood as a journey of faith is common to many religions: from Rome, to Jerusalem, to Mecca, to Lhasa, to the Ganges, a network of pilgrim routes ... The pilgrim abandoned his home for a more or less long period, sometimes (given the traps and dangers that awaited him on the way) even forever. Many pilgrims never returned. What prompted them to undertake a long and risky journey? Doing penance, fulfilling a vote, achieving a good health recovery, or simply following a surge of devotion ... Whatever the motivation, the pilgrim still proposed himself as the one who abandoned his past, with a form of modern reset, to choose a "different path "towards a place of liberation, enlightenment, and salvation, where to access at the source of "immortality". Consequently, several pilgrimage routes showing paths accessible to all those who were following the Path of the Stars, the Milky Way or seeking the Light of Knowledge, also called in other cultural contexts and religious beliefs the Way of Souls, the Path of Spirits named so in the civilizations of the Indians of North America, the Maya and Aztecs, the Incas and the Greeks, Egyptians and Romans.

 It seems to me that the reason for the pilgrimage therefore lies in our contemporary age in the concept of knowing oneself and psycho-physical balance to establish a reset of one's life. In the middle age  era in Europe there were four paths which were associated with a curious occult symbolism: The Path of Santiago de Campostela, called the Path of Swords, the path of power, which allowed, in my personal opinion, to obtain courage; The Path of Rome, the Path  of Wands, which made it possible to communicate with other worlds or, in my personal opinion, to exercise a correct use of power; The Path of Jerusalem, the Path of Cups or the Holy Grail, which allowed the pilgrim the ability to perform miracles or, in my personal opinion, to know the reality other than the phenomenal one; The Secret Path, the Golden Path, the Path of the Stars, which was the last path of which there are very few written records, perhaps because, in my personal opinion, it does not include any itinerary since it is the personal path and therefore different for each one. However, nowadays it is quite clear that, regardless of the beliefs, opinions and religious suggestions related to these paths, the route aimed at knowledge, whether or not it passes through the three stages described above, is a mental rather than a physical path; what I mean is that it is not necessary to walk along the ancient paths of pilgrimages to achieve courage, the correct use of power or the understanding of what is now called quantum physics.  On the other hand, I think that the travel to be intended as a way to acknowledge not only of the beauties of the world but also of the reality that surrounds us and that shapes, at an unconscious level, each of us is, in my opinion, extremely useful for starting a reset of one's life.

Based on the above, I decided, therefore not by chance, to call the travel agency "Tu Proprio Camino" in honor of the Golden Path... the Way of the Stars.
