Funny anecdotes with housing can happen even in Europe, here I tell some of them verbally.

Often the traveling oddities that happen to me depend on the fact that I want to save something under the heading of sleeping. In some countries this is almost taken for granted, but it also happens occasionally in Italy and the old continent.

In particular here is a roundup that comes from different trips, while other anecdotes happened on trips for which I created an ad hoc podcast. Some are in hostels and dormitories, but even certain apartments can provide excitement. European hotels on the other hand are on average very anonymous, not like in South America!

Please note the audio is in Italian.

Highlighted is a photo of the Dubrovnik harbor as seen from my accommodation. I think it was one of the worst where I ever slept, but the view was super.

The articles with photos from which the podcast episode is taken: funny anecdotes with housing

This link lists 20 negative hostel experiences, but it is actually not that tragic an experience at all, on the contrary!

Finally in the following links you can find the articles (with photos) already written about this trip:

• Travel to Croatia, both coast and inland
• Experience in naturist camping, that is, for nudists
• Sleeping in hostel, they all run away from me in Copenhagen
• Problems with accommodation on trips to northern Italy

Ho sempre avuto tante passioni, ma da sempre più o meno latenti, le principali sono viaggiare e scrivere. Tra le altre cose ho una laurea in psicologia; ho fatto per più di 30 anni l’allenatore di basket; leggo tanti libri; sono stato molto appassionato di sport e di musica rock; e faccio improvvisazione teatrale. IL mio primo romanzo, che non parla di viaggi, si chiama LE TUE GAMBE SONO BELLE COME LE TAGLIATELLE
