Quando parliamo di bisogni degli esseri umani, parliamo dell’essenza della vita – Abraham Maslow   Where does travel motivation come from? Sometimes we feel an imbalance between the situation we are living in and the one we wish for. The needs that push and support our behaviours come exactly from a sense of restlessness, an […]

We travel out of curiosity, to make our dreams come true, to unwind or because we have to. We may be attracted by art and cosmopolitan cities, or by hot deserts and wet jungles. Maybe we chase our dream destinations or we start dreaming once we set foot on a new land. This is why […]

Erano giorni che si susseguivano uguali l’uno all’altro, nei quali il mio corpo e la mia mente operavano con il pilota automatico, senza che lo spirito avvertisse il bisogno di intervenire. Quella mattina, però, al crescere della rivoluzione nel mio petto, il pulviscolo iniziava ad abbassarsi e dietro di me iniziavo a intravedere le orme del mio passaggio. Questo blog non nasce semplicemente da una passione, ma da un’esigenza.

“You will go alone, is that ok?”   My boss told me. And there I was paralyzed. I have never thought about that before, but this would have meant to take the train by myself, change the train by myself, present the project by myself, eat by myself, walk by myself. Alone. Usually, to “be […]

“Bam” a noise from the kitchen With a jolt and the heart beating fast, I got up from the couch a bit perplexed. I gathered some courage and headed towards the thud. And there it was: a roll of paper towel unrolled on the ground had cushioned the hasty fall of a plate hanged on […]

“Are we all here?” Our guide shouts. This trip in Malta was my first travel as a group with perfect strangers and just one known friend. I remember well the aperitifs on the boat at sunset; the mornings waking up in a rush to get in the bus; the race to the highest cliff from […]

  Suitcase? Done.Itinerary? Done.Touristic guide? Here it is.Tickets? Here they are.Let’s go! Together? When we leave for a journey, we choose a destination, we devour touristic guides and books, we buy tickets, and we pack. Is that it? No. There is another element for the success of an adventure:  a good travel companion. Let’s admit […]

What does forbid us to travel?   Various external cirmcumstances oblige us to change our travel plans. For instance, a natural catastrophe or a war, a flight cancelled due to a strike or a pandemic, even personal or work-related reasons.Yet, sometimes the obstacle comes from inside us, from our inner world: it is our mind. […]

Everyone travels in their own way. In fact, if we all went to the same place, we would have quite different experiences, and our opinions would be the most varied. So, where does this difference come from? As human beings, we are very similar to each other, and yet, each one of us is simply […]

It’s New Year’s eve and the clock strikes midnight. Of course, as per tradition, our mind quickly starts listing our new year’s resolutions. Yet still, after the first day, the second, a week, those goals listed with great confidence, turn into illusions. We bump into our habits weight, we get discouraged in front of the […]

Quando potremo tornare a viaggiare? Il Covid-19 ha paralizzato il Mondo e viaggiare durante la pandemia ancora non è realizzabile. Le regole di viaggio sono ferme, molti paesi mantengono chiuse le frontiere, altre nazioni richiedono rigorosi criteri per poter superare i loro confini. Sono mesi che il nostro animo di viaggiatori si scuote come un ring […]

When the sun rises, it is as if time freezes around me. The chirping outside the window indicates nature is waking up, the fresh air starts toning up my body and the pastel-coloured light relaxes my eyes. At sunset, the atmosphere is even more intense. The clock’s hands seem to slow down for endless minutes […]
