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 put in this article everything related to the Belgium part, including one anecdote of real and one virtual meeting.

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…

The idea of taking a solo trip to Thailand is very common, given the characteristics of the country. I met many people like me, also many girls although Italians are always the least represented.
