Football, my true passion!

 I was there and it was amazing! It was beautiful watching it, listening to it and being part of it. The moment of the National anthem gave me chills as I felt so much alive and in love with my country for the first time again, after so many years.

“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.

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 […]

Ushuaia…

There must be a reason if they call it La fin del Mundo, and you definitely need to get here to fully understand it and get this incredible feeling of being at the edge of everything, mountains, roads, sea, life…. Here La fin del mundo, the Worlds end, doesn’t have only a geographic meaning, but […]

Somewhere in Tierra Del Fuego

This journey to and through Tierra Del Fuego is an adventure itself and it’s really enduring all my resistance. I left El Calafate at 3 in the morning heading to Rio Gallegos, where I got the connection to Ushuaia after a couple of hour waiting at the sunrise in the station. And then it started. I couldn”t […]

El Chalten, at Mother Nature’s home

When I arrived to El Chalten I was not sure about my decision, as the weather was not going to be very nice and it looked like a place where you can only go hiking an that’s it. It thought I may have slowed don my trip but, as I was here, what I could […]

Perito Moreno, Patagonia of my heart

I must admit that today I got  chills standing in front of the Glacier Perito Moreno! It was ages I didn’t feel such an emotion for a place that made me almost cry at the end. The first impression I had of the Glacier is that it’s alive. I could feel it, even on the […]

El Bolsón, la buena onda

Only 2 hours bus from Bariloche, that for Argentina is almost like you can go walking, among beautiful mountains peaks coloured by the warm autumn Nature, lays El Bolsón, a village what wouldn’t attract the attention of anybody if it wasn’t for the fact that it has been chosen by a hippie community as their […]

Bariloche, touching the blue

Arriving to Bariloche is a wonderful sweet surprise that enchants all your senses. The town lays quiet on the shores of a wonderful blue water lake, surrounded by high mountain ranges: it’s the Andes and this is the first time I see them. The Andes embrace this area refreshing it with a cool breeze all […]

El caminito in La Boca, a walk into the rainbow…

Leaving the centre of Buenos Aires and arriving at la Boca, one of the eldest and most popular areas of the town, is simply a joy as you can see how the urban landscape can change so easily in a town so big and how even a urban town like this one can transform in […]

Buenos Aires’ good air

I AM FINALLY IN ARGENTINA and still cannot believe it yet. The warm air that welcomed me outside the airport on my arrival, together with the warm welcome of my family remember me that I had arrived on the other side of the world, where summer has just finished its course and slowly and lazy […]

SEVILLA, 8TH MAY 2005 Seville…Seville is the South world that widely open its doors to me, with its colour and warmth, its people, its music that brings  my mind and my heart back to my old habits of a quiet life, the one I run away from because it din’t suit my soul’s restlessness. Seville […]
