Galleries

I’ve just uploaded some photos here and I am working on 3 galleries: Avebury Henge, Bath and Uffington White Horse Hill. 3 very nice trips right before November started with its lovely rainy days Addendum edit 20-Nov-2011: some randomness in London

40 before I’m 30

Well, I just turned 33 so, I think my challenge will have to be 40 before I’m 40 or even 50 before I’m 40, for the brave ones. The challenge I am talking about is to visit 40 countries before you turn 30. I stumbled upon this blog a few weeks ago and it’s really [...]

Summer globetrotting

I haven’t posted anything for quite a while, but I have a somewhat good excuse. I was travelling. As usual… This time I spent about 10 days in Pisa and Versilia, the place I call ‘home’ in Italy. Then I spent 10 days in Venezuela, visiting my parents. Caracas isn’t exactly the safest city on [...]

Cottage fever

One afternoon. Three nut cases. One beach. Just 2 hours away from the Cotswolds cottages   Theme Song… Morcheeba – The Sea

The Errant Tuscan

A few days ago, my friend Anna stumbled upon a very interesting blog, the Grounded Traveler. We have so much in common with some of the stories this guy posts on his blog: the highs and lows of expat life, the joys of travelling and the downsides of not having steady roots in any country in [...]

Jag älskar Sverige

So much to write, so little time! I really enjoyed my trip to Sweden. I’m still sorting some of the photos and I will update the photo gallery here, but I think I will probably write a post on my Swedish blog too. I need to keep practicing the language, ya know…

Spring restyling

April passed by so fast, May is basically half gone already. And I haven’t posted much lately. Well, cut me some slack. I do have a demanding PhD project to carry out, presentations to put together, conference papers and posters to prepare… Plus, in June I’m moving into town: a more convenient location, although I [...]

On the road

Or maybe “up in the air” I’m on my way to Denmark and Sweden. I’ll take tons of photos, I’m sure. For now just a little snapshot of Heathrow check-in area

Growing tower

I’ve been putting some order in my collection of Moleskine notebooks, diaries and so on. I use one as agenda (click here to know more about this moleskine hack) but I like the very small, light blue diary. It’s really super-pocket size. I also really like the National Gallery special edition notebook, the red one in [...]

Travel ideas anyone?

2011 has just started and I’m already thinking of which countries to visit this year. I will most likely travel during Easter/Spring break and then also in the Summer. I wish I had time off work not during the holidays to avoid crowds of tourists and unreasonably high fares. But oh well, I’ll be happy [...]
