Meanwhile, in Saharan Africa….is the verbatim account of travel oddities that happened to me on several trips to North Africa. In particular I recount incidents that happened to me in Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco. Since they were all fairly short and mostly uneventful trips, I put all the oddities together. Please note the audio is…

In January 2019 I did a hybrid experience of tourist village but also DIY. In previous years I had done my first snorkeling: Thailand, Australia and Belize. I had been excited about it, and comparing myself with more experienced comrades, they all told me that the top was the Red Sea: close, easy and beautiful.…

Unfortunately, from the Egypt cruise, I brought home more in addition to too many souvenirs. Pharaoh’s curse? What could be worse than attending a wedding on a muggy July Sunday in the lower Po Valley, and with the risk of even getting a bump by bumping into cyclopean mosquitoes? Doing so by spending the day…

My first time in Africa could only be the Nile cruise. It was a dreamed destination since childhood, because of the ancient Egyptians and the movie (Murder on the Nile) based on Agatha Christie ‘s novel with the famous character Hercule Poirot.

Tours to deserts and oases of Tunisia. In December 2010 the last time I went to a travel agency, the lady at the counter had no doubt what answer to give me. I was coming from an intense period from every point of view. I was single again after a 3-year affair (my longest until…

In touring Marrakech I became definitively convinced that I was turning my ways around. In fact, with this trip I finally, and perhaps belatedly, abandoned the ‘idea of trying to be without a connection. Too much trouble had happened to me in the past and I resigned myself to the fact that it is too…

During this little trip I thought a lot about the life of animals in the city, thanks in part to Jules Verne ‘s beautiful 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Seas that I had with me. In 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, among the many insights it can give, besides the brilliant foresight on technological…

The Marrakech’s medina As for the chaotic nature of Marrakech’s medina, I had had alarming anticipations. Instead, it may be because I am beginning to see a lot of places, I found it all in all livable. In fact, one of the most amusing aspects is actually noticing the terrified faces of Westerners startled by…

If the outward journey was characterized by the wise little girl, the return was worse. I had a problem with low cost, but I was the naive one, despite having made dozens of trips with them. The so-called low-cost When flying with so-called low-cost, or perhaps more correct to say former low-cost, airlines, one should…
