Welcome to my blog! I am Lucia, and I would like to share my passion for the World with you.
The Old Continent, crib of cultures, history, art. From the sandy beaches of Greece, to the historical heritage of Spain, from Portugal to England spanning between the harshest coastal cliffs, from the cold winters of Danmark to the mild summers of Provence. Walk the wet mosses of Scotland, drive along the silent Fjords in Norway, cut through the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Bite into a curry wurst in Berlin or let a salmon soup wrap you in a warm hug in cold Helsinki. Whatever is the reason you travel for, Europe will certainly have the perfect place to please your wishes.
Don’t be surprised to find Italy outside of the Europe section. This is my home place, I have crossed it from north to south, I drove the winding paths of Tuscany, walked the tiny alleys of Venice, experienced the lively neighborhoods of Milan, visited the forgotten hamlets of the Abruzzi, sunbathed in the pebbly Amalfi Coast or in the sandy seaboards of Apulia. Not to mention that this is the place where the wildest dreams of Foodies from all over the world can become reality.
Another exception worth a dedicated chapter. The place where I live and love, one of the most underrated Countries I have had the pleasure to discover, in the heart of Europe. Mecca for winter sports lovers, paradise for mountain and nature buffs. Snowy winters and warm summers, isolated mountain villages and lively cities with a cool urban scene. Unexpected travel destinations are hidden in the world famous chocolate-homeland.
Incense smell coming out from an ancient temple, a colorful dress adorned by jingling bangles, smoke coming out from a hot spring in the middle of a jungle, bamboo boats floating on a muddy river, giant bats crossing the sky over a silent island, a night walk along a volcano slope, dusty roads crossed by motorcycles and cows. Asia is the place to carve your mind with memories that you will never be able to collect somewhere else on Earth.
This is the place to travel at low pace! It teaches you to enjoy the tiniest bit of a moment, to stop one more day, to observe, to think. This is a place for quiet travelers, those who do not need a fast train to move, but enjoy a long travel on a night bus, those who are not in a rush in a restaurant, but let the music please their slow dinner, those who do not cross fast the city to go from a place to another, but turn their head at every single step to see what is happening in a secondary road, behind an open window. Music, sun, smiles. Chill out and enjoy life!
Should I think to an adjective for this famous piece of land, it would be Huge! Every single fragment of North America is just immense. This is the right place to understand exactly how a microscopic part of this World we are, to feel right below your feet the magnificence of Nature. Let’s start a journey together through the surreal and desert National Parks, let’s drive the Highways fading in the horizon, let’s explore the weirdest villages and the most exciting cities on Earth. Let’s travel BIG!
A place still to be discovered, where we just started to take our first steps.
