  • 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.

  • What to do in Emilia-Romagna and San Marino?

    A tourist empire has been built in my region since after the war, and to anyone who asked what to do in Emilia-Romagna, anyone would answer: organized beaches and discos. The anecdote I tell in this article is perhaps a bit of a stretch, since it really happened close to my home. But after all,…

  • KO for altitude sickness during the Travel in Perù

  • Climbing the Andes and condors, but first Nazca

    Other completely different scenery is on the way up to the Andes. Here, of course, the desert is rocky and arid given the altitude, and at the highest point where we stopped(Mirador de los vulcanes), we could see the highest peaks of the Andes. This rather long journey saw us leave before dawn, and at…

  • Sleeping in hostels, particularly in the 1990s

    Sleeping in hostels was another big change on this trip, and for a poor seasonal student worker, it was a way to save money, but also to make friends. In fact, in the era of talking to people, interesting acquaintances were made in hostels. The featured photo was generated by artificial intelligence. Sleeping in hostels:…

    New Friends in Jordan is a verbatim account of the traveling oddities that happened to me during the first part of my trip to Jordan.
