I did not get shot! My 4 months on the road in North America
The past 4 months were quite a ride! And although, I was planning to write about my shenanigans in North America, I simply couldn’t. There was too much to see, do, digest and experience that sitting behind a laptop seemed like a lost opportunity. Don’t take me wrong. I still kept a travel journal – […]
Italy road trip – headed to the North: Pisa, Cinque Terre, Genoa and Milan

Road trip through Italy – impressions of the South, Naples, Pompeii, Amalfi

I spent 48 hours in this beautiful capital of Tuscany. But I could imagine spending more, because there is so much to explore! It first comes as a […]
Road trip through Italy – packing, flying and getting lost in Venice
It has been my dream to see Italy beyond Rome, and to experience it at my own pace. I have already been to Venice, but it was during summer (read: crowds and terribly hot). When I saw that Ryanair has a 10 EUR flight to Treviso, I didn’t hesitate too much. Although, the original plan […]
