A day in Dubrovnik, or how we visited King’s Landing but didn’t lose our heads

Got the pun? “Lose the head” as in “get crazy”, but also as “get beheaded”. As Ned Stark in “Game of Thrones”! Do you get it now? Eh? Eh? I think it’s a really good one. I thought about this title for almost a week. Because titles, you know, are e-very-thing if you want to […]

“The Heart of the Story” – How I lost & found my Heart in Findhorn, again

The best way to survive an extremely hot summer is to leave home, go to a cold and rainy place, feel miserable and regret it. But also, in the process, have an amazing experience and come back with a legendary treasure. This could be the short (unofficial) description for “The Heart of the Story“, which […]

Star Wars Identities

The Star Wars Day (“May the Fourth”) approaching, I wanted to celebrate it in some special way. So, while in London, I had the opportunity to visit Star Wars Identities. I went expecting “just another Star Wars thing” – which would already be great, of course, given my love for the saga. But it was […]

Dead Sea – Jerusalem – Ramallah

Here is a short photo-reportage of a trip I made in May 2016. I had the opportunity to attend SALTO’s Tool Fair (an Italian-Israeli conference on non formal education), which was a great experience, and I joined it with two days of sightseeing on my own. It has been an intense journey, rich of encounters, reflection and stories. […]

Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, Tanzania

In the summer 2014, before joining a great volunteering programme (Insight by the Irish NGO Development Perspectives, which I described here), me and Bara spent two fantastic weeks exploring the north of Tanzania. The country is so beautiful and rich that the hardest part is to choose what to see! The Kilimanjaro, the fantastic natural […]

Chatuchak Market – Bangkok

When you travel through Asia you realise one thing: Asia is a big place. And full of people. What happens when a place is crowded, even for Asian standards?
