When Paolo was ten years old, he had a very exciting experience. It was a real adventure.
He and his father got up early to go fishing. They got in the boat and his father started rowing out to sea. The sun was rising as they pulled away from the shore. They stopped the boat in an area about twelve miles away where the fishing was very good. Then Paolo helped his father with the big net. As they threw the net into the water, it caught Paolo’s foot, and he was pulled into the water. “Help!” he cried. “I’m caught in the net!” his father was afraid that if he jumped in to save his son, he would get caught in the net himself, and they would both drown (淹死). It was too big a risk (冒险) to take. He quickly saw what he must do. He grasped (抓住) the sides of the net and pulled Paolo out of the water like a big fish.
Paolo had been very frightened and swallowed (吞下) a lot of water, but he was soon laughing with his father about his first real adventure (冒险).

But crossing the Pacific is only part of his incredible journey. Eric has decided to go all the way around the world using only his own energy. He will row, bike, and walk without help from any motors at all. Oh, and his plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents along the way, to honour the memory of a fellow climber.
He says he is doing this to show kids that they can achieve any goal, but he hopes to have some great adventures along the way.
As a solo traveller, Eric has already faced disappointments and challenges. Because he has to row about ten hours a day, he brought along an MP3 player to listen to music and pass the time. Unfortunately, the nearly daily tropical rain for several months has forced him to keep his player packed away where it's safe and dry.
Storms and huge wave wind regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared,” says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But that’s all part of the journey. I knew this wouldn’t be easy when I started. That's why I gave myself two years to finish.”
Protein bars（蛋白棒） give him energy, and he boils water to heat freeze-dried meals on a one-burner stove. A solar-powered machine removes salt from ocean water so he can drink it, but only when the sun shines. When that fails he sometimes tries to collect rainwater in buckets.
He’s not bothered by any of the hardships. Eric sees the world as a laboratory where there is much to learn. And when his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people - especially children. He has already visited several schools and shared his story.

his own energy. He will row, bike, walk, and climb the world without help from any motors (发动机) at all.

has already visited many schools and shared his story.
