Isafjordur, secret beauty of Iceland

  Unbelievable Isafjordur! Iceland keeps this place secret, makes it difficult to every traveler ( or maybe only to me!) arriving here because Isafjordur can steal your heart. It is the most beautiful place on planet Earth. From the plane suddenly the clouds open and the mountains protecting the “Ice Fjord” reveal silently this unbelievable […]

Today Iceland!

The doubt at the moment is: from Isafjordur, shall I take a lift by car to go back to Reykjavik, so I can see Iceland all the way down by car, enjoying and crossing amazing landscapes, or shall I take a flight to Egilstadir, on the east part of the Iceland, flying on the heart […]

My Nordic world – Reykjavik

  Reykjavik, Iceland, March 8th 2010 Allora, my first impression of this Iceland and of the Icelanders: it’s a warm isle, and the Scandinavian world looks so far away from up here. The Icelanders are not as tall as I had imagined, and there are a lot of people with brown hair, much more than […]

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, September 25th 2008 Let’s say that as of today my Dutch life in Amsterdam has officially started.

My first impression of Lisbon

  Lisbon, Portugal, May 1st 2005 This new journey is one of Mediterranean destinations a completely different world from the one I usually love to visit. Lisboa sings to me of far-away lands that these wanderers dreamt and sought first move here in their minds and then beyond the horizon. Contamination is the word that […]
