The zoo of Melbourne
One of the first things I have visited here in Melbourne, is the zoo . I wanted to see kangaroos so badly that It was ok for me to see them in a cage (I know, It’ s so sad) . Una delle prime cose che ho visitato a Melbourne, è stato lo zoo . La mia priorità era vedere i canguri ed ero disposta a vederli anche se non nel loro habitat naturale (lo so, è triste) . You are not supposed to touch them but everyone was padding them and They looked quite happy around people ! In teoria non si dovrebbe toccarli, ma quasi tutti li accarezzavano e loro sembravano contenti di stare intorno alle persone ! The zoo […]
Sintra
Ok, here’s the thing about Sintra : I found out about this wonderful place looking at my Spanish host mum’s pictures (thanks again Marta). I saw the beautiful colours of the buildings and thought ” I MUST GO THERE”. I was very excited about It but….apparently I wasn’t supposed to see the bright colours 🙁 infact I visited Sintra on a very FOGGY DAY! (I was so mad!!!). Not only It was foggy but It was also raining! Allora, ecco la storia su Sintra: non sapevo dell’esistenza di questo meraviglioso posto finchè non ho visto le foto della mia host mamma spagnola (GRAZIE Marta) , appena ho messo gli occhi sui colori brillanti dei palazzi ho pensato “DEVO ANDARCI”. Bè… a quanto pare non […]
GREAT OCEAN ROAD
The Great Ocean Road is a MUST if You’ re in Victoria . It offers outstanding views, wonderful beaches and the chance to see wild koalas and wallabies . It’ s a great experience expecially if You decide to do a tour like I did. You meet new people, You have fun, You learn about other cultures, You realize how personable people can be . A group of strangers share a great experience and eventually they will become good friends. La Great Ocean Road è un MUST se vi trovate nel Victoria . Offre bellissimi paesaggi, spiagge stupende e la possibilità di vedere koala e wallaby nel loro habitat naturale . E’ un’ esperienza che raccomando soprattutto se si decide di andare con un tour […]
Porto, the birthplace of Port wine – Porto, la città dove viene prodotto il celebre vino Porto
I went to Porto by bus, I left Ourense (Galicia) quite early in the morning, about 5 am , I then stopped in Vigo to wait for the other bus and eventually got to Porto by 10.30 am. I was so excited, It was a beautiful day and I remember feeling very happy. I was on my own and I was ok, I just loved taking pictures and looking at everything. Sono andata a Porto in autobus, ho lasciato Ourense(Galizia) la mattina presto, più o meno alle 5 e mi sono poi fermata a Vigo per aspettare un altro bus. Alle 10.30 ero già a Porto e ricordo che ero felicissima, la giornata era stupenda e il sole brillava. Ero sola ma mi sentivo bene, […]
LISBON
I love Portugal, It is one of my favourite countries so far . I like It because everything is very small : no big cities, no big parks, all the places are super cute and people are very friendly . Plus the food is very good. I’ ve always wanted to hire a car and travel across the whole country , I haven’ t done It yet but I got the chance to visit Porto, Sintra and Lisboa and I absolutely loved them! Amo il Portogallo, è uno dei miei paesi preferiti fino ad ora . Mi piace perchè è piccolo, le città non sono immense, i quartieri non sono enormi e l’ atmosfera è accogliente, inoltre le persone sono davvero simpatiche. Dettaglio importante: il cibo è buonissimo […]
Ourense, Galicia – Ourense, Galizia
This is going to be a long article ! I have lived in Ourense for almost four months and I loved It so much that It will always have a special spot in my heart ! Before moving there, I knew nothing about It, I had a look at the pictures on google and It looked like a normal city, nothing special! I was wrong, It is special and beautiful, I do hope to get Your attention and to let You know more about It , because Ourense worths It ! Questo sarà un lungo articolo ! Ho vissuto ad Ourense per quasi quattro mesi e questa città occupa uno spazio speciale nel mio cuore . Prima di viverci, non la conoscevo, non ne avevo […]
Cudillero
At the end of my journey in Galicia, my host family asked me to make a chart of the places They made me visit… It turned out I really liked Cudillero .Carlos, my host dad, didn’t agree with that at all. He couldn’t understand how I could put Cudillero in one of the first positions. The thing is that I DO LOVE SMALL TOWNS, It might be because I grew up in a very tiny village where there’s nothing but banks and restaurants (no, I am not kidding, Carasco has 3 banks and 6 restaurants, and that’s all We have). I am not saying that I would live in small town but if I’m traveling I’d rather see a cute tiny and distinguishing village instead of […]
