Terschelling, a Dutch surprise
Terschelling, Holland, September 1st, 2009 I just arrived and I already feel like finishing my 1st Travel Diary with the memories of Terschelling, this tiny unknown island that hides unique sceneries and that is already part of me.
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!
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 […]
Ushuaia…

Here La fin del mundo, the Worlds end, doesn’t have only a geographic meaning, but […]
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 […]
Waking up in the Pampas…
07:35 am, April 13th…Somewhere in the Pampas of Argentina Waking up in the middle of the Argentinian pampas is like waking up on a different planet. What I am watching now from my window is simply one of the most a spectacular landscapes ever seen. It’s desert, no sign of human life is around, the […]
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 […]
Madrid…tasting the Latin world
My 1stimpressions of Madrid is of a beautiful European town, big but also cosy enought to feel imemdiately at home. That’s the feeling I had when I went out of the metro this afternoon and a sunny cold day welcome me in the Spansh capital. The architecture of the houses remembers me the one of […]

And so it happened that I went to Aachen to find the X’mas spirit, in one of the most beautiful and famous Christmas market of Germany, and, in front of the reliquaries of Charles the Great, I suddenly discovered that Aachen, called […]

South Iceland, a touch of Infinite
From up North directly to down South, destination the South Coast of Iceland and hopefully the black sand beaches of Vik. Well, it was too windy to make it down there. For a moment the little van we were in couldn’t even stay on the road. What a day, what an adventure, what […]
