I have a hobby
Many years ago I looked for a nice, amusing and cheap hobby. My purpose
was to meet people around the world who can help me in my project without
spending money. In other words, I started:
To Collect sands
In 30 years I have collected 1065 different sand samples from 193 different countries till March 25th 2015, with the aid of many friends like you.
I own sands coming from wonderful and out-of-the-way
places: here you can see my treasure!
My collection is composed by sand and ground samples from all the
countries recognised by the ONU. I lack the sand coming from 4 
territories, hard to be reached. I would like to receive samples
from all over the world, also from the same place I visited if the sand has
different colours compared to mine.
Are you a traveller?
Are you leaving for an out of ordinary trip? Before doing it have a look
at the list of wishing countries lacking me and send me an e-mail to the following
address (mailto:belpao@tin.it).
In case you
couldn’t contact me before the departure since you have no time, can you please
fill in one or two film canisters with the sand for me and when you will be
back, get in touch with me.
If you haven't time since you are making luggages, don't worry, go happy and when you’ll arrive take
on 1-2 film canisters full of sand for me (lake, desert, beach, river, earth,
no matter where). At your return, being over the jet lag, write me.
Are you a collector?
I would like to come in contact with you, please write me. I have a lot
of samples to swap
