Good start? The city was founded by Ancient … Continue reading Syracusa – Ortigia
Once landed, boyy it shocked. Catania airport seemed grey and trashy. Everywhere I looked around was garbage left from people. I took a taxi – that was a rip off too – and got myself to my AirBnb. It was the worse AirBnb experience ever. The street was called Via Plebiscito. Later I found out it is not recommended for the tourists as the locals … Continue reading Catania – the land of trash

A girl who spent most of her life next to the border with Slovenia, it is hard to explain what this country is about. To me, the country of Slovenia was a place to do the shopping, the place where people speak my dialect but not my official language, a country that always complicates the border and disputes the frontier, trades politically with the borderline … Continue reading Ljubljana, Slovenia
There is a post on my blog already dedicated to Flemish cities of Belgium . But I have decided that this city deserves one single post for itself.
