This book is dedicated to my godchildren and their friends that will inherit this fantastic world of seven billion people; I hope it will help them to show us grown-ups why an open globalized world is a sea of opportunities, not a storm to shelter from.
The book will take the reader through a unique journey across the globe: from the open spaces of rural Kenya to Nairobi high-tech sporting grounds; from the stadium in LA to the green pastures of New Zealand; from old Europe with its sleepy palaces to the buzzing street of Beijing.
Fasten your reading seatbelts and be ready to be surprised by the incredible stories of the fast-running Kenyan pilot Mwangaza, the free-spirited Ming-Ming, the brave doctor Jasmina and the mysterious Lady X and many more.
