May Gibbs home in Sydney.
This morning I woke up with the idea of going to the beach. I got distracted talking to Helene, the charming host of the house in Sydney where I was living. Our topic of conversation was books, surprised, right? Now you can understand why I spent the morning with her. She told me about May Gibbs, a writer […]
Sydney’s Free Tours & its charming Botanical Gardens
Every day at 10:30, next to the Town Hall, we can find a group of young people who offer Free Tours that last for three hours and finish in the The Rocks area. I totally recommend them as the guides are very nice & knowledgeable, they tell you many interesting things about the city. They […]
Boxing Day in Macau.
After spending Christmas in Hong Kong we went to spend Boxing Bay on the island of Macau, which is 70km south & the most densely populated region of the world. We decided to take the bus instead of the ferry so we were able to cross the bridge that links the two islands. It had […]
Christmas in Granada.
Today I remember this Christmas I spent in the beautiful city of Granada, in the south of Spain. My mamma and I arrived in the 24, on time for Christmas Eve. We spent it with Juan and Luciano’s family, whom I didn’t know yet and again, the Christmas magic shone. They welcomed us with affection […]
Christmas in Mexico.
The first time I set foot in Mexico City was the 24th of December, yes, Christmas Eve. I was so lucky to be invited to celebrate it by this Mexican family, I loved their traditions. On the table they sat me in front of a guacamole dish and I thought to myself, “I am not […]
Baywatch in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, a city where many arrive searching for their dreams (or so they say in the movies) and bathed by the Pacific Ocean. The first time I arrived here I decided to do a tour with two colleagues, to see what it had to offer. That was many moons ago, reason why the photos […]
A walk around Greenwich Village and Washington Square Park. New York.
A beautiful morning my friend Virginia picked me up and we went to see the UN, or United Nations. We were looking forward to seeing the headquarters of the world’s biggest international organization created after WWII. The ground floor can be visited without a tour and you can see the General Assembly whist its members […]
The Buddha and the music of Hong Kong
Hong Kong is one the China’s Special Administrations, and the Hong Kong dollar is its currency. Its name means “fragrant harbour” and it is located near Pearl River. I totally agree when Wikipedia says it is the fourth-most densely populated region in the world, as the little peninsula and its islands are full of live, […]
Muir Woods in San Francisco.
Inside this big bay we find our beautiful San Francisco, the same one we cycle and survived. They say it has “four seasons in one day” like the song, It’s often covered with low clouds or fog, sometimes you cannot even see the bridge. So if you visit at the end of the summer, remember […]
Pura Vida Mae. Costa Rica.
Pura Vida, I love this phrase, pure life. It summarizes in two words this country where Miriam and I landed one day in January. At the airport our friends were waiting for us. For me it was a “see you later” as I stayed for a day in San José before we started our adventure. […]
