Travel Tales by a Travel Addict
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.
French call it l’Ile de Beauté – the Island of Beauty -, and when you visit Corsica it doesn’t take long to understand why.
I can’t even recall how many times I’ve been to this very special island, discovering it by boat (something I highly recommend, since there are magnificent stretches of the coastline that can’t be reached from inland), on a road trip and hiking.
Imagine a swinging boat, strong gusts of wind and people moving around on the deck, as the ship approaches the Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers. It’s summer in Patagonia, but it feels rather like winter. Wearing a warm sweater, quilted jacket, hat, gloves and scarf, I brave the cold and the wind, decided not to lose …

It’s hard to stop taking photos when traveling across Patagonia Argentina. Camera around my neck, iPhone in my hand, sometimes I wish I was like a Hindu goddess, with multiple arms.

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 …
Parma is famous for its beautiful monuments and excellent food, but colors were the first thing that struck me. Yellow, pink, green, orange, red, make this small city of Emilia-Romagna (a less-known region of Italy which has so much to offer) a joyful place and it’s no wonder Parma is considered one of the prettiest towns in …
Late November, early December. It’s that time of the year which I always find depressing. In Milan, the sky is gloomy more often than not and seldom brightened by a ray of sunshine. The days are short and I miss the light, which to me is like fuel. As if this weren’t enough, this year …
A sudden quietness fell on the Itsukushima Shrine, the highlight of Miyajima, together with the floating gate. I turned and saw the reason for this silent buzz. A couple was approaching, and we were witnessing a traditional Japanese wedding. The mixed couple – a beautiful Japanese bride and a nice guy who might be British or …
