10 Reasons to Add Beautiful Emilia Romagna to Your Bucket List

//  by Simon//  Leave a Comment

How many of you have heard about Emilia-Romagna, or know where it is? I bet not many.

Everyone traveling from Florence to Venice (or the other way round) goes through Emilia-Romagna and its largest city, Bologna. This Italian region is often barely an area of transit, and only a few make a stop on their way to or from Tuscany.

Ravenna Santa Maria in Porto-14

Postcards from Ravenna, the Marvelous City of Mosaics

//  by Simon//  Leave a Comment

I first visited Ravenna last year on a day trip from Bologna, where I spent two weeks to discover the beauty of the Emilia-Romagna region.
I had been wishing to admire the Byzantine mosaics for a long time but never managed to go, and with a single day, there was not much time to get a more comprehensive idea of the city beyond the mind-blowing ancient sites.

33 Photos That Will Make You Want to Visit Milan

33 Photos that Will Make You Want to Visit Milan

//  by Simon//  5 Comments

Well known as one of the world’s fashion capitals and a longstanding business hub in Europe, there still are only a limited number of foreign tourists who plan to visit Milan, particularly if it’s their first trip to Italy.

The land of “La Dolce Vita” is one of the most fantasized destinations in the world, but while Rome, Florence, Venice, the Cinque Terre, and the Amalfi Coast captivate everyone’s imagination, Milan is hardly on the radar.

Walking on the Wonderful Duomo Rooftop: A Must Do in Milan

//  by Simon//  Leave a Comment

Although often overlooked, Milan is well worth spending a few days. However, if you only have time for one thing, a must do in Milan is without doubt walking on the Duomo rooftop and visit the Cathedral, which is the most famous landmark of the city.

The Temples of Bagan, as Far as the Eyes Can See

//  by Simon//  1 Comment

I wrote about my difficult relationship with South-East Asia in the past, and how even Burma failed to let me have a change of heart. Still, while I would not include Myanmar in the list of my favourite countries (and I know this is very personal and many would disagree) I have a few good memories …

Berlin East Side Gallery: Memory, Hope and Decay

//  by Simon//  14 Comments

I walked along Berlin East Side Gallery on a gray, windy, and cold day of March, huddled up in my jacket while silently looking at the wall paintings celebrating freedom after the Wall’s collapse, which started on November 9, 1989. A memorial for a sad past, a sign of hope for a future of freedom As …

A Journey Through The Vespa History

//  by Simon//  5 Comments

The Piaggio Museum in Pontedera, a town 35 km from Pisa, might not ring a bell, but it’s the place to go for a journey through the Vespa history. From the first simple models to race scooters and, more recently, the meeting between art and design with the ‘VespArte‘ competition in 2001, the museum retraces …

Odegand, Exhilarating Opening of Ghent Festival of Flanders

//  by Simon//  Leave a Comment

When I was invited to attend Odegand and explore a bit of Flanders during Flanders is a Festival, I didn’t know what to expect. Honestly, I knew nothing about the Flanders Festival and even less about Odegand and Ghent Festival, but as soon as I started gathering a few information my curiosity arose. Indeed, I was stoked …
