Viaggio in macchina dal Continente alla Gran Bretagna: meglio il traghetto o l’Eurotunnel?
Photo from Pinterest.com L’altro ieri sera siamo tornati in Italia dopo aver vissuto per 14 mesi in Scozia, paese d’origine di mia nonna, che pur essendosi trasferita definitivamente in Italia quando aveva 25 anni (io ho fatto il viaggio opposto l’anno scorso, a 23!) ha un casa nell’Ayrshire. Dato che i due viaggi, di andata … Continue reading Viaggio in macchina dal Continente alla Gran Bretagna: meglio il traghetto o l’Eurotunnel?
5 cose che mi mancheranno della Scozia, 5 cose che mi sono mancate dell’Italia
Settimana prossima l'anno di vita in Scozia giungerà al termine (salvo catastrofi e/o cambiamenti governativi). E' stato un anno importante: ho lavorato, ho fatto il mio Master (purtroppo finito in modo improvviso e brusco) e ho conosciuto cari amici, scozzesi e non. So già che la Scozia mi mancherà da morire, e stasera mentre facevo … Continue reading 5 cose che mi mancheranno della Scozia, 5 cose che mi sono mancate dell’Italia
Last-minute escape to Ibiza, the white island
Ibiza's Stonehenge It's January, the weather is miserable and cold and you're trying to cope with the first weeks back to uni, school or work. I've always found January quite depressing, because the best part of winter (Christmas) has been left behind and now I just wish spring would arrive. That's why I feel like … Continue reading Last-minute escape to Ibiza, the white island
Lapland tour: arriving in Sweden and crossing the border to Finland
Kemi, Finland As I haven't travelled much lately (except for Ibiza in September and the Christmas holidays back home on Lake Como, Italy) I want to keep writing about past travels. I hope you don't mind, but don't worry, I remember my travels well and I also have all the hotels' and restaurants' names available, … Continue reading Lapland tour: arriving in Sweden and crossing the border to Finland
Sri Lanka: Colombo
In 2017 myself, a friend of mine and her two children all left cold Lake Como on the 2nd of February to board a night flight to Colombo, Sri Lanka, with a halfway seven hours (yes, seven) stop in Dubai airport. It was the second journey I've done with my friend and her two children, … Continue reading Sri Lanka: Colombo
A tiny, pretty island called Gili Meno
Last night I finally finished reading "Eat, pray, love", which I had started like three months ago. I really enjoyed that book, even if it had some slow parts where I interrupted my reading for a couple weeks. I always knew that its author Elizabeth Gilbert started a pilgrimage of her readers to Bali (I … Continue reading A tiny, pretty island called Gili Meno
Living room: before and after
Interior design is as big love of mine. Since we arrived in the UK from Italy in March my boyfriend and I have done a lot of work in the house that my grandma has here in Scotland and in which we're currently living. It won't be the house of our life but we like … Continue reading Living room: before and after
Autumnal colours
I think my love for autumn has begun this year. Last year it was still emerging, I started craving roasted chestnuts, hot chocolates with whipped cream and walks on the crunchy, red leaves more, but this year it has definitely exploded. Trying to rock that perfect pensive, absorbed look... I'm not sure if it's because … Continue reading Autumnal colours
Wild camping on the Isle of Arran
Hello dear readers, here I am after a long break, I want to apologise about that. I've got quite a lot of news in my life: I left my job (that I had started in July) and I went back to university in mid-September. This is why I've been absent from here: I've had a … Continue reading Wild camping on the Isle of Arran
