The plan is to film their 10,000 mile odyssey on an SWM Urban 525 and document it online.
First they will travel to Rome, from either Folkestone or Dover, on a journey Daniele expects to take 30 days.
In Rome he will raise more funds for the next leg before heading east to Asia before the end of the year.
On leaving the eternal city, the pair will head to Slovenia, cross through Croatia and head south to Greece.
Because of the war in Iran, they will go through Azerbaijan, across the Caspian Sea, through Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan before reaching China and heading to Nepal.
As a young dog, Haku liked surfing and long walks, but age has made him less mobile – which is how Daniele’s sidecar idea came about.
“Haku has been a rock by my side during the toughest times of my life and that’s why I wanted to carry him now,” he said.
“He’s the best companion I could ever have.”
