I started traveling when I was a teenager, many years ago. Back at that time, traveling as a European student meant exploring Europe. The world of travel was so different from what it has become in the last 20 years. Back in the ’80s, for an Italian student traveling through Europe was the only option …
9 Things in Kuala Lumpur That Surprised Me
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 …
The Color of Travel. Emotions in Red, Blue, White, Green and Yellow
The color of travel… I got to think of it thanks to the Capture the Color photography competition.

A Culinary Journey in Kuala Lumpur
Without a culinary journey, you haven’t experienced KL. Food, in every form, is ubiquitous in Kuala Lumpur. From crowded Chinese food joints serving lots of strange (at least to me) dishes I had never heard of to street food stalls selling delicious tropical fruits or all-you-can-fry (that’s a word I just happen to invent, but …

7 Wild Super Shots: Emotions Through Images
It’s been a long time since I was invited to take part to the 7 Super Shots Photo Game launched by HostelBookers. Dave and Deb at The Planet D, Iain at Mallory On Travel and, more recently, Terri at Europe Up Close handed on the baton to me but it took me some time to choose the right …
Why is the Beauty of Silence so Underrated?
No matter the season, nature is always fascinating. Or so do I feel. Mountains or beaches, smooth hills or glaciers, desert or forests, I am wild about untamed landscapes. Maybe because I grew up in a small mountain village in Switzerland I could never got really used to the city life in Milan, even …

Remembering Prague, 1980 (Part III) – The Escape
The third (and last) episode of my journey to Prague, back in 1980, tells the story of the long waited occasion to discover a bit of Prague every day’s life. Escaping from the guide… […] The continuous presence of the guide was really annoying, so I started to think at a way to go on …
