With my stories, I hope to keep you company and make you dream and imagine travels to organize them and, as soon as possible, to pack and leave.
Where to start reading? Well, you could, for instance, start with these three posts:
A presto!
Oh, I write for other blogs, too…
The mix of past and current experiences, various passions and the love for writing explain why some other travellers and tourism professionals occasionally grant me some space on their blogs. I can’t thank them enough.
