Almost all of the encounters I had during my trip to the Caucasus took place during local tours I took starting from the three capitals. Few people in that region speak English, so it’s easier to chat with the other—few—travelers. The exception is the capital of Georgia , which is already—and rightly so—quite touristy. Obviously,…

‘Meeting people on the road is always easier when you are alone. This time I didn’t do so well though. Before arriving in Cornwall I visited Bath and Bristol. I made a stop in Salisbury that turned out to be a brilliant tactical move. Due to my ignorance, I thought it had something to do…

I did not expect to find what are called the new junkies even in the cities of Canada. I was very ignorant on the subject, which I invite you to learn more about in this article from the Mario Negri Foundation. I had read about it and imagined that it was unique to large U.S.…

In October 2023, to celebrate (a little belatedly) my 50th birthday I decided to go and see that piece of Calabria that I had not been able to see from the summer of 2020. I had a couple of the most fun encounters during travels of my life. Most of all, I wanted to go…

Of my meetings in New York and the Gospel Mass in Harlem I wrote about it in the fourth live email account from New York. I did so on the occasion of my solo trip in 2004. Of meetings in New York I am doing a lot of them. And I even managed to attend…

Encounters on the road, and in Europe, is a verbatim account of some anecdotes concerning acquaintances made on the old continent. Many encounters I have made through couchsurfing; this article discusses it in depth. I use it mostly to meet people from the place I visit, and I don’t couch surf anymore. Some of the…

I must say that the majority of funniest evenings in my travels have these characteristics: Of course there were exceptions, such as the evening in Brisbane (Australia) with my friend Rebecca with whom I later took a trip to Spain. By the way, she was theoretically the least predictable one I could have seen again.…

I must say that in visiting Vilnius I never get bored. In the Lithuanian capital another woman was waiting for me, again met through couchsurfing. With this one, however, we had written a lot and even talked on the phone. I had an idea that there was already a connection, but not that she would…
