Owing to the spread of COVID-19, visiting loved ones has become something seemingly impossible.
Even so, when 9-year-old Romeo Cox decided what he wanted more than anything else was a hug from his 77-year-old grandmother, he didn’t let any small things, like separation, or that she was 1,700 miles away and there were no flights from his new home in Sicily to his native UK, stop him from making the trip.
“I hadn’t seen Granny for ages, so I planned secretly to go see her,” Romeo said in an interview with the Times. His parents disagreed at first, but Romeo finally talked them into letting him make the trip.
With his folks’ blessing, Romeo turned his plans into action. “I drew a map. I would walk and take boats,” he told the Times. “And I’d take Dad. It would be handy to have an adult.”
Handy indeed, since Romeo’s father, 46-year-old Phil Cox, is a retired journalist and filmmaker whose rich experiences gave him invaluable knowledge about making the way in less than ideal conditions.
Romeo and Phil set off on their journey on June 20. The pair trekked (跋涉) across Italy, Switzerland, and France.

由于COVID-19的传播,探望亲人似乎成为一件看似不可能的事情。即便如此,当9岁的Romeo Cox 决定他最想要的是与他77岁的祖母拥抱时,他没有让任何小事情阻止他实现这次旅行。尽管他们相隔1700英里,他的新家在西西里岛,而从他的祖国英国到西西里岛没有航班,但这些并没有阻止他。Romeo 在接受《泰晤士报》采访时说:“我很久没见过奶奶了,所以我计划秘密去看她。”一开始他的父母不同意,但最终Romeo成功说服他们让他去旅行。
在得到父母的祝福后,Romeo付诸行动。他告诉《泰晤士报》:“我画了一张地图,我会步行和乘船。而且我会带上爸爸,有个成年人会很方便。”的确很方便,因为Romeo的父亲Phil Cox是一名退休记者和电影制片人,他丰富的经验为他们在不理想条件下的旅程提供了宝贵的知识。
Romeo和Phil于6月20日开始了他们的旅程。他们穿越了意大利、瑞士和法国。
