My fascination with Amsterdam dates back to my first trips abroad on my own when I was still travelling across Europe primarily by train. Its outlook to the sea and to trade is so embedded into the structure itself of the city and the psychology of its inhabitants, always curious about travellers and tolerant to other cultures and customs. In my early days as a … Continue reading Postcards from Amsterdam 🖼🥞🇳🇱
I have always been fascinated with Japanese culture so I decided to invest some more time in discovering Japan when I had the opportunity to travel there some time ago for an international conference.

Io preferisco viaggiare in un posto quando non ci sono grandi flussi turistici per avere una percezione più reale del ritmo di vita. In questo caso ci sono stato una settimana fa, decisamente fuori stagione per un posto di mare, ma godibilissimo per una … Continue reading Cartoline dalla Calabria 🖼⛪️🥘
A trip to Istanbul is not complete without enjoying the timeless splendour and captivating magic of Hagia Sophia. Built on the orders of Byzantine emperor Justinian I in 537, it remained for nearly a thousand years the world’s largest cathedral. Turned into a mosque after the conquest of the city by the Ottomans and into a museum in 1934, it is now being turned again … Continue reading Postcards from Istanbul 🖼🕌🇹🇷
