As in the first few times, unusual accommodations in England happened to me. In particular, by visiting my friend who lives in London, I got more into the British climate. We talked about the difficulties of fitting in, in a new country and in such a large and tiring city. Especially coming from a small…

Hot air ballooning in Cappadocia is now a must for world travelers. I, who always try to do something different, or at least in an original way, could not give this one up despite being a very expensive activity compared to the cost of Turkish life. But Cappadocia also deserves for more, especially for walking…

Among the most beautiful Italian squares is certainly the main one in Trieste. I can say that the capital of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in the far northeast of Italy is one of my favorite medium-sized cities in my country. In May 26 I was there for a long weekend combining also the very…

Even in my second time in Turkey everything went well, except for problems with an accommodation on the first night. Between 2024 and 2025 some really curious situations have happened to me with hotel accommodations; in Romania and in Italy in Udine. Episodes that cannot be justified by the fact that I usually choose among…

The ranking that lists the Italian wonders, i.e., the most visited cities in 2026 is surprising in some ways. You can find it here. After the big 4: Rome, Venice, Milan and Florence; among the top 25, as many as 12 are from the northern Adriatic coast, from Friuli to Romagna. They are almost all…

I was just compelled to publish this home of Turkey videos: it serves to make order among the many articles. In my intentions, only the oddities were supposed to go in this blog. Then I got the idea to post the live videos while I was traveling. A year after returning from Turkey, however, I…

The question about how to plane a trip is for those who plan to do it on their own, so no agencies or groups. From an early age I have always been fond of maps. I remember car vacations in the 1980s with my parents and 3 brothers. Crammed into the hot car, I was…
