Falling in Love with Beautiful Europe… Again

//  by Simon//  8 Comments

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

//  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 …

The Color of Travel. Emotions in Red, Blue, White, Green and Yellow

//  by Simon//  22 Comments

The color of travel… I got to think of it thanks to the Capture the Color photography competition. A nice contest and not only for the great prizes that Travel Supermarket – the organizers of the competition – are offering to the winners (iPad to the winners for each color class and GBP 2,000 – oh …

A Culinary Journey in Kuala Lumpur

//  by Simon//  5 Comments

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 …

Back to Southeast Asia. Time for a Burst of Love?

//  by Simon//  14 Comments

Time runs quickly, and in only a few days I’ll be heading back to Southeast Asia for a (relatively) extended period. I limited my stay at 45 days since the flight was cheaper but honestly, I could have decided to spend a longer time. The truth is that I didn’t feel like it. It’s not …

7 Wild Super Shots: Emotions Through Images

//  by Simon//  17 Comments

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?

//  by Simon//  19 Comments

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 …

Delightful Break With a Local Flavor in St Albans and Hertfordshire

//  by Simon//  13 Comments

If you’re looking for a short (and why not long?) break from London, St Albans and Hertfordshire make a perfect choice. Indeed, the historical town of St Albans and the surrounding countryside  have a lot to offer, as I recently experienced during a lovely blog trip I’ve been invited to by Andy Jarosz. Together with 4 …

Remembering Prague, 1980 (Part III) – The Escape

//  by Simon//  14 Comments

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 …
