Especially at one time, I had an easy time making acquaintances on the road. Even in big cities that, experienced as a traveler, I found electrifying because of the many things to experience and because, if you have limited time, you have to plan well. And, as mentioned, several times in this blog, I like…

In memorable encounters touring the Baltic countries I tell verbally what happened to me in August 2017. In particular of the three interesting women I met, of three different nationalities.

In this article is the video from Emperor Camp made on December 8, 2025. I have wanted to visit this place for years, and I was probably lucky enough to admire it in its splendor. But I really think it is beautiful even without snow. In fact I felt like walking there, in these conditions…

In this article is the video from Rocca Calascio made on December 7, 2025. 2025 was definitely the year of ‘ Abruzzo for me, I came there 3 times. I say this especially to foreign readers, but also to Italians, over tourism in certain cities is a crime, as my country has so many wonderful…

I soon became convinced that traveling by working is no picnic. And maybe it’s not traveling either. In theory, the main reason for my presence would be to improve my English.
