Before starting my blog, my boyfriend asked me: “Who is going to read it?”. He didn’t want to be mean (even though he sounded like that) 🙂 but just make me understand that there were millions of people out there doing what I was about to start doing, so I needed to understand who would have been my audience (if any) not to waste my efforts.

Here are just a few facts on me:

• I love travelling. Lots of people do, I suppose. I am just one more.
• I love food and especially eating it. I am not a particularly great cook (I am improving, though) but I have been smart enough to get myself a boyfriend with excellent cooking skills! He loves cooking, I enjoy eating. That’s a great deal. Nothing makes me happier than a plate or a bowl of…. anything!!

Tom Yum soup in Ao Nang, Thailand

Mussels and crayfish in Jekyll Island, Georgia

Mahi Mahi in Key Largo, Florida.

Hot chocolate in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Tapas in Sevilla, Spain.

Barbecued meat in Luang Prabang, Laos.

Egg, train to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Fresh crab meat, Padstow, UK.

Spaghetti alla chitarra al sugo, Milan, Italy.

• I love reading, particularly travel books. Love Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski, Lucía Etxebarría.
• I love taking pictures. I would like to improve and that’s on my to-do list for 2016. Almost all the pictures you will find on my blog have been taken by myself (if not, I state it).
• I speak Italian, Spanish and English. Originally from Italy, I lived for some years in Spain and I am currently based in the UK.
• I do have a weak point for shoes. Always had and I suppose will always have.
• I don’t like overexposed brands. I have always preferred to browse individual shops looking for unique pieces (that doesn’t necessarily mean more expensive). I tend to buy less but I carefully select what I buy.
• I am equally comfortable sleeping in a 5$/night shack or in a more upmarket hotel, but I generally had my best experiences in shacks! The same applies for restaurants but in both cases I usually try to stick near the bottom/mid end (even though you will find a few remarkable exceptions in my blog, though) so I have more money left to do plenty of other things.
• I hate organized trips.
• I used to be a party girl but now I have calmed down 🙂 Yet, I am not saying no to a proper night out (or two)!

I suppose if you arrived to this point, may be I have some chance that you will peruse my blog!
