With a water painting palette, an old camera and a note-book, in April 2000, Claire and Reno Marca leave for a long and beautiful journey which will last 3 years, through four continents and 25 countries.

Day after day, from Africa to the Pacific Ocean, they will record - with colours and words - not to forget anything.

In this illustrated travelogue, they precisely and honestly tell the ups and downs of their daily nomad life, their meetings, the happy moments and their disappointments. They cast a well informed light on the singular cultural features of the political situation in the countries they have been travelling through. Rich with 700 illustrations, many geographical maps and small enclosed booklets, this, over the standard adventure story is not only an ordinary travelogue but also a live sumptuous and fascinating atlas.

More than a simple journey through 4 continents, our travel sketchbook “3 Ans de voyage” (

A 3 years journey

) is the outcome of a dream patiently prepared, taking us from Africa to Pacific over a long time and magnificently concluded with this illustrated travelogue.
