Windy Wellington, Sorry… You Didn’t Win my Heart

//  by Simon//  13 Comments

Everyone I happened to meet in New Zealand liked Windy Wellington (as the capital city is cheerfully called because of the strong wind blowing more often than not), where they frequently spent several days when not even longer. The truth is that despite I went there three times (first at my arrival, then back from my tour …

Christchurch Botanic Gardens: A Photo Tour

//  by Simon//  5 Comments

I hadn’t planned to visit Christchurch and I happened to spend there an afternoon totally by chance. Since it was a last-minute decision, I didn’t know what to expect nor what to do and see in only a few hours. My hostel was right in the city centre, only a few steps from Christchurch Botanic …

Auckland, The City of Sails, Sea, Parks and Colors

//  by Simon//  8 Comments

What a surprise Auckland, and no wonders it’s called ‘the city of sails‘. Having been told that it was not particularly pretty I was expecting Auckland to be an unattractive city. On the contrary, I happened to have a great time in New Zealand‘s biggest city, liking it much more than Wellington (but there I …

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 …

9 Things in Kuala Lumpur That Surprised Me

//  by Simon//  18 Comments

Whether to stop in Kuala Lumpur and possibly discover a bit of Malaysia as part of my wild journey through Southeast Asia was a big question-mark. The decision to spend a few days in KL – as Kuala Lumpur is called by locals – was eventually driven by the need to wait for my Visa …

From Mexico to Flanders: The Fascinating History of Chocolate

//  by Simon//  11 Comments

I hadn’t really planned to visit the Chocolate Museum in Bruges, but as I stepped into it during my wandering through the narrow streets I thought it would be worth to make a visit. Inaugurated in 2004, the Choco-Story Museum in Bruges is a journey through the History of Chocolate from ancient Mexico to Belgium, …

Ghent, Little Gem of Flanders

//  by Simon//  7 Comments

  There’s something moving in the beauty of Ghent, a little gem of Flanders that should be included in every itinerary through Central Europe. Wandering through Ghent, once I reached Graslei and Korelei the perfect beauty left me speechless. The city is full of awesome corners and beautiful old buildings, but once I reached Graslei and Korenlei, …

Milan in August: The City at its Best

//  by Simon//  5 Comments

Milan in August is when I love the city at most. Lots of people are on holidays, there’s little traffic and Milan gets a charm that you don’t get in other periods of the year.   In the streets of the centre there are more tourists than locals, and for once the city that is …
