  • Not just hot air ballooning in Cappadocia

    Hot air ballooning in Cappadocia is now a must for world travelers. I, who always try to do something different, or at least in an original way, could not give this one up despite being a very expensive activity compared to the cost of Turkish life. But Cappadocia also deserves for more, especially for walking…

  • Video of Cappadocia, from below

    This is the first article with video of Cappadocia arranged from home. I think it was a shame not to publish them. I shot them on my traveling trip of Turkey. In particular this are the ones that are usually not seen, because they are shot from below, walking among what are also called fairy…

  • Problems with an accommodation before going to Ankara

    Even in my second time in Turkey everything went well, except for problems with an accommodation on the first night. Between 2024 and 2025 some really curious situations have happened to me with hotel accommodations; in Romania and in Italy in Udine. Episodes that cannot be justified by the fact that I usually choose among…

  • Turkey Videos Home

    I was just compelled to publish this home of Turkey videos: it serves to make order among the many articles. In my intentions, only the oddities were supposed to go in this blog. Then I got the idea to post the live videos while I was traveling. A year after returning from Turkey, however, I…

  • Videos from Laos and Cambodia

    This is a selection of videos from Laos and Cambodia. In particular there are videos that I had not posted while traveling from Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, and links to videos posted while I was there, mostly from Laos. The first is 30 classic seconds of vibrant nightlife in a large Asian city.…

  • Why go to Phnom Penh ? The Auschwitz of Asia

    In my opinion, the main answer to the question of why to go to Phnom Penh is to visit the places that bear witness to the brutality of the regime that dominated Cambodia in the second half of the 1970s. Reasons for being killed in Cambodia in the 1970s. I would basically have no escape…

  • Slow boats and fast trains the transportation in Laos

    That of slow boats and that of fast trains are two experiences centuries away that can still be experienced in Laos in 2025. It is possible to be shot at full speed on one of the brand new fast trains that cross the jungle. But you can also glide on the placid rivers that run…

  • Hot air balloon ride and talk on the road

    My stop in Vang Vieng was the epitome of my faulty trip planning. Although it later gave me the opportunity to take my first hot air balloon ride. My first trip to Southeast Asia was full of meetings and acquaintances of really interesting people. Solo travel in this part of the world usually makes it…

  • Luang Prabang, where water becomes schnapps.

    The really strange thing about this trip happened to me while visiting Luang Prabang. What is rightly considered the most beautiful city in Laos, I already liked just because of the name: how many places have rhyming names? I was also intrigued by Luang Prabang’s signature dish(Or Lam ): it’s a soup of meat, lots…
