  • Meetings on the road, certainly the apotheosis in Ireland

    When people ask me about travel encounters I cannot fail to mentionIreland. Maybe it was also that by the fourth week on the trip I had definitely loosened up on English. Still, I chatted a lot with many, and I also got to know several people quite thoroughly. The friendliness of strangers To Ireland I…

  • Animals in the pine forests of Ravenna

    Going walking in the pine forests of Ravenna has now become almost a necessity for me; certainly a pleasant habit. I also enjoy it because I often encounter animals in the wild. Since I was a child I have always loved to walk. With my dog Tullio I used to take long walks both by…

  • Silly death (for a selfie), maybe in the Maras Salt Flats

    That of stupid death is a theme that fascinates me a lot. Also because I still haven’t figured out whether it makes me laugh or cry. The award for the stupid death of the year. By now there are rankings for everything; one that I find very significant is just that on the dumbest deaths…

  • Hosting with couchsurfing

As mentioned at the time the Interrail ticket was different. They change rules and systems from time to time, but I think it can still be…

  • What to do in Cuzco? not just markets, please!

    If someone had asked my fellow travelers what to do in Cuzco, they would have given him a very different answer than I did. My trip to Guatemala, Honduras and Belize was also in a group and I had the same impatience at the end. I think it is clear that the group is not…

  • Visiting San Marino and especially Emilia-Romagna

    Visiting San Marino is a great classic for those who live in my neck of the woods, once also for Russian tourists. Italy for centuries was divided into little states, so much so that for centuries even a single state did not seem conceivable. Even now there are as many as three legacies of the…

  • Visiting London the first time: WOW

    Visiting London was upsetting. I was a young boy from the Province. It was my first time out on my own and my first time in such a metropolis. I discover a passion for maps and subways I was thrilled by that feeling of being a microbe in the midst of a whirling world. I…

  • In New York City parties.

    In New York City parties is a verbatim account of some of the traveling oddities that happened to me on a trip I took to the United States. Please note that the audio is in Italian. It was a short but intense trip, in fact I will dedicate two episodes of the podcast to it.…
