3 The Sun Trip adventure At first, it was only an idea crossing my traveller s mind, then it became a dream, a goal and an international success. The Sun Trip was born in 2013 and for this second edition taking place in 2015, we aim at pushing the dream further and wider. Participants to the first edition brought that concept to life, going from France to Kazakhstan, finding on their way the attention and the support of the people they met. At a rate of 200 or 100 km per day, whether they were racing or discovering, the pioneers of the Sun Trip demonstrated that it was possible and useful to travel with solar cycles. These innovative machines are paving the way for energy freedom, along the path of freedom of movement. Carrying again that spirit of liberty without a constrained route, the Sun Trip adventure continues this year with 43 participants from fourteen different countries. We will organise a prologue to the adventure from France (Chambéry) and an official start from Italy, Expo Milano 2015, in collaboration with the French Pavilion. The goal will be Turkey, with two chechpoins in EXPO 2016 Antalya and Kayseri. This EXPO-to-EXPO project supported by the Bureau International des Expositions, aiming more than ever at starting a conversation with a large public, along the road separating the two cities, and beyond!
