The life trip from North to the South America has been eye-opening in many ways. One of them was the mere realization that we inhibit this planet with animals. No, don’t call me stupid. Of course, I knew there are animals living on Earth with us. But, if you live in a metropolis, and make […]

First footsteps in Canada – Toronto and the Niagara Falls
Life trip – stage 1 – Canada: Toronto, Ontario The long awaited road trip from the North to the South of the American continent started. The first country to explore is Canada. My fans know that I have already visited the Maple Leaf country back in July 2014. It was for business, and I managed […]
I did not get shot! My 4 months on the road in North America
The past 4 months were quite a ride! And although, I was planning to write about my shenanigans in North America, I simply couldn’t. There was too much to see, do, digest and experience that sitting behind a laptop seemed like a lost opportunity. Don’t take me wrong. I still kept a travel journal – […]
Italy road trip – headed to the North: Pisa, Cinque Terre, Genoa and Milan
The road trip through Italy gets into the last phase – riding with the car back to the North of Italy. Do I feel ready to leave the South? Not so much. I feel there’s still so much to explore. I have to schedule one more trip to discover the rest of the Italian South. […]
Road trip through Italy – impressions of the South, Naples, Pompeii, Amalfi
They say see Naples and die. I had some health troubles that started in Rome, and when I was in Naples, I had the feeling I am close to getting to fulfilling this saying. Luckily, nothing like this happened. I actually managed to have a great time in Naples. My biggest travel takeaway has been […]

The road trip through Italy gets to the 2017 phase. Since the New Year’s Eve was over, I was expecting to see a lot less people. Oh my, how I was wrong! There’s an old saying that all the roads lead to Rome. And it is true, or else I can’t explain the hordes of […]

Road trip through Italy – 50,000 steps in Florence
Florence (Firenze) was the next stop of my grand tour through Italy. A city I have been excited about since I learnt about the Renaissance at school. I spent 48 hours in this beautiful capital of Tuscany. But I could imagine spending more, because there is so much to explore! It first comes as a […]
Road trip through Italy – packing, flying and getting lost in Venice
It has been my dream to see Italy beyond Rome, and to experience it at my own pace. I have already been to Venice, but it was during summer (read: crowds and terribly hot). When I saw that Ryanair has a 10 EUR flight to Treviso, I didn’t hesitate too much. Although, the original plan […]
