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. One of them I saw in three of the countries I visited and then also in Italy.

The featured photo shows the Kadriorg Palace in Tallinn, Estonia, which I visited alone. On my trip that lasted 10 days, I also went to Finland (by ferry) , Latvia and Lithuania (bus). In August 2023 I returned for a weekend in Lithuania that was quite crazy.

Please note the audio is in Italian.

In the following article, a fellow blogger gives an exhaustive account of what the experience with couchsurfing can mean . Through this platform I was hosted and thus met two local people.

After my last experience in Vilnius I decided not to let anyone host me anymore. Every now and then, however, I still use the platform to arrange a meeting, which usually starts with a coffee, a beer or dinner and almost always turns out to be very interesting.

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
