San Francisco North Beach Food Tour

penne with fresh tomato sauce at Trattoria Pinocchio

My first morning in San Francisco. I still remember it as if it was just this morning. I woke up, had a huge breakfast and with a map in my hand headed to the North Beach. I already knew the North Beach had no beach, not any more (in the 1850’s it still did) even […]

Ancient Taormina

happy in the Greco-Roman amphitheatre in Taormina

Back in the end of March during my MSC Preziosa cruise around the Mediterranean, once we disembarked in Messina port, we made our way to ancient Taormina passing through many tunnels that took 10 years to build. This little town, first called Tauromenium was built by the Greeks on a hill 200 m a.s.l. in […]

Water bottle factory San Narciso in Caldes de Malavella

My first visit to Caldes de Malavella back in September 2012 was very quick, however more memorable than any short visit anywhere else in the world. The small town famous for its thermal water, ancient Roman baths, archaeological site Camp dels Ninots and Balneari Prats hotel is quite remarkable, I must say. It was there when […]

Coastal redwoods in Muir Woods National Monument

Getting to Muir Woods There is no public transportation to the Muir Woods. Located just 12 miles (19 km) north from the Golden Gate Bridge, there are two ways of getting there – a tour or by car. I took the City Sightseeing tour to explore the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito town and then the […]

The glamorous Napa Valley Wine Train

Wine Train locomotive disconnected in St. Helena

I believe you all know I quit drinking alcohol more than 4 years ago and even before that I was never a big fan of both beer and wine. So going to San Francisco and listening to all the recommendations about taking time to visit Napa Valley famous for its wineries and wine tasting got a […]

Musical Beach Blanket Babylon in San Francisco

My visit to San Francisco was planned in a way that I was 100% sure I wanted to get there when visiting the West Coast of the US in April. But I never really looked into all the things I should do there. You know, it’s usually very easy to find it all out when […]

Grand Canyon South Rim air tour

living the moment in Bright Angel Grand Canyon

Visiting Las Vegas without doing a Grand Canyon South Rim air tour would be a mistake. But let me start from the beginning… Coincidences do happen in life. Or maybe they are just meant to be. When visiting the party Las Vegas, I just had to go away from that craziness and fulfill one […]

The colours and smells of Tunis, Medina and Sidi Bou Said

My memories of Tunisia I visited as a teenager with my little brother and parents back in 1999 were not clear about the capital Tunis. I do remember that I was obsessed with the ruins already at that age so together with my father we spent a day visiting Tunis and the Cartage ruins. But from […]

Snuba diving on St. Kitts

If you think that a crazy sexy fun traveler would do anything in the world then I will disappoint you. I love snorkeling and each time I get a chance I do it no matter in which part of the world I might be, but still can freak out when I remember the bad experience […]

Charming views of Messina town

After the rough day on the sea visiting Capri island, the following morning MSC Preziosa took us to Sicily, the island of 11 volcanoes which together with other mountains form 80% of the island. Not counting the flights I had to operate to when I worked as a stewardess a few years ago, I only […]

Visit Capri – the rough day on the sea

A memory of my conversation with Gonzalo, my Argentinian coworker who used to live with me in Brindisi, got stuck on my mind. We talked about the Capri island he with another friend visited for a few day while I was away from the Southern Italy. ”High-end island with high prices and beautiful views” he told […]

Preconceived notions about cruising – true or false?

Many people think cruising is just for old people, couples in love, honeymoon or families with kids. More precisely, it is said cruising is for ”newly wed and nearly dead.”I am not really sure if I thought so too. I guess I just was not 100% sure about going on a cruise myself, 28 years old, […]
