  • Injured on the road: Washington and Philadelphia

    That I found myself injured on the trip I recounted in the sixth account I wrote by e-mail when I soloed around the U.S. in 2004. In particular I was between Washington and Philadelphia, which I didn’t like too much, perhaps partly because I wasn’t well. Injured, or rather lame to be precise. In Washington,…

  • Video of Matera by night

    These videos of Matera by night were shot during the Christmas season of 2025, but this is my third time here and I must say it is always beautiful. The pictures do not render, it looks like being in a nativity scene. Unfortunately, the weekend ended with an unpleasant incident, fortunately not serious. Two videos…

  • Visiting New York, and how to sleep in the stadium

    In visiting New York I happened to fall asleep at the baseball stadium. This was one of the events I recounted in the second account I wrote via e-mail on my solo trip in 2004. Central park in New York is also the place to find real animals. The squirrels are so used to people…

  • 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…

  • Getting lost on the road, particularly in the Bronx

    Getting lost on the road was one of the events I recounted in this, which is the second account I wrote via e-mail live from New York. I did this on the occasion of my solo trip in 2004. I was also supposed to go today to see what will become one of the 4…

  • Guest on prime-time and live TV

    The story of the work trip to England would have been enough by itself to be remembered, but it happened to reinforce it by being a guest on TV. Even, on RAI, in prime time and live. Approach to the urinal I have always been a big fan of urinals in public restrooms, which have…

  • Tripping into the USA with Viro

    Tripping in USA with Viro was the title I gave in July 2004 to a kind of newsletter in which I informed my friends and relatives of my U.S. adventures. The trip lasted three weeks, was solo and using public transportation. This is the route I took from my google maps. It was a time…

  • Travel working, life experience

    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. There were also English people in the factory, but pace and noise did not help dialogue. Also because most were unschooled and had very…

  • 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…

  • The wonders of the world and my own

    The wonders of the world have always been discussed, so much so that both ancient and current wonders are officially recognized. In this article I will discuss those that are for me. Especially the reasons why I consider them to be so, which are very personal and related to subjective emotions. Seven Wonders of the…
