‘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…
This is the first article with video of Cappadocia arranged from home. I think it was a shame not to publish them. I shot them on my traveling trip of Turkey. In particular this are the ones that are usually not seen, because they are shot from below, walking among what are also called fairy…
Many people desist from renting cars in Anglo-Saxon countries for fear of having problems with right-hand drive. Maybe because I first tried it in Australia, so with little traffic, but I don’t consider it a problem, quite the contrary. Once rather, if alone, it was a problem to get around without navigation systems, now it…
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…

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…
Sleeping in unusual accommodations often means higher cost, which I avoided in Canada. Nevertheless, I happened to go to a very unusual place. I always slept in hostels except for the three nights on the train and the one in Toronto. In the final part of the trip I devoted myself to the eastern cities.…
I hadn’t slept in a barrel until March 2026. It was on the occasion of one of my somewhat crazy weekends to break up the work weeks, so many things in a short time, but by organizing well with a close-knit friend it went well. The stages we touched on: This is the itinerary on…
I knew about the fires in Canada, but what worried me in the Rocky Mountains was the bears. Yes because first of all, the Rocky Mountains are also Canadian and not just U.S. as some people believe. During this trip I read Bill Bryson‘s novel, A Walk in the Woods. The U.S. writer recounts his…
