A sunset to remember
What a great day of sun, light and warm I just had this weekend, one of those perfect days when mother Earth makes it everything posssible, even bathing in the Northern Sea with 30 degrees celsius. It may be that this was the last day of summer here in Holland, or at least for me […]

Holland: land of wind and windmills!
What a fairy land the country side of Holland is! A truly surprisingly beauty that I didn’t expect at all. As soon a s you step up from the city center, Holland invades your sight with its peaceful bucolic landscapes of green. You are not going to see the majestic mountain peaks of course, but […]
Riga, from far away lands to us…

Barcelona, the Cosmopolitan. Valeria’s top city!
It’s nice to feel at home, that’s how I feel whenever I go to Barcelona. The first time I step on the Ramblas was when I was 15 months old, came back after 5 years and then at 19 both trips were amazing. It was soooooo much fun that I was determined to learn Catalan […]
“On the road” of inspiration…
Watching “On the road”, yes, and I say “watching” and not reading it, has been a full of expectation experience that was fully fulfilled!
London, how it all began
It was the 23rd of July 2005 when I arrived in London for the 1st time . It was only few days after the bomb attack, everybody had suggested me and my friend not to go, but that place was calling us since ever. It was a deserved trip after a long year of study […]

Tasting the destinations…
I have always believed that the first half day you get anywhere is usually the sweetest! If you arrive in the morning it’s definitely too early. First of all you are tired already, the day is long and you tend to overdo due to all the time you have. Arriving in the early afternoon […]

About the Argentinians
Argentinians drink and love drinking mate. It’s not only their hobby. It’s their way of living. They bring it with them wherever they go, and in every place there is a hot water machine so that they can refill their thermos and never be without mate. Anywhere.

Hi My 1st impressions, Here is my story and pictures. I was finally on the plane to Andalucia, my top European destination. I had a big question in my mind “Why do I travel?” spending all this money and time, also the effort for planning trips. The question bothered me for a while […]
Good Bye Argentina!
What a strange and sad feeling leaving Argentina and its people. Until the last moment, this country has showed me such a joyful sense of friendship and welcome, that at my departure I felt surprisingly sad to leave. Argentina, a place to discover and enjoy. Its people love complaining about their country but they are […]
Puerto Madryn, goodbye Patagonia
My last stop in Patagonia is Puerto Madryn, on the East cost, and it couldn’t be better, after long sleepless night on a bus from Comodoro, and before another one on a bus to Buenos Aires. Puerto Madryn gave me a sip of sun and warmth after the cold temperature and for both body and […]
