viaggio and freedom

Fue mi tercera vez en Viena: lo típico es ir con la escuela en los años de adolescencia, una vez fui con mis padres por una escapada rápida en Europa y esta vez fue en pareja. Quería mostrar a mi pareja lo bonito que es esta ciudad y me he quedado yo misma otra vez embobada. Aparte su belleza ya conocida por los edificios históricos de la épocas austro-húngara, he descubierto algunas cositas más gracias a la película Antes del amanecer (Before Sunrise). El motivo principal del viaje para mi novio fue recorrer todos los sitios que aparecen en la película y esa fue nuestra idea. Fue, sin duda, caminando mucho: la mayoría de las escenas de la película están rodadas en la calle, así que también fue perfecto para nuestro plan de viaje mochilero y económico. Han pasado años, sin embargo me ha gustado mucho que varias zonas de la ciudad han sido remodeladas y mejoradas, sobre todo las áreas de estaciones de trenes y metropolitanas. Una pasada de hecho. Para mi, Estación Central, básicamente e

Siempre he eschucado decir: "Berlín es una ciudad bonita, me ha gustado mucho, me ha sorprendido" y al mismo tiempo "Berlín no me ha gustado nada, es una ciudad grande pero nada mas.  Ya se sabe que una ciudad puede gustar mas o menos, que una ciudad puede ser como cualquier otra y que depende mucho del gusto personal o de las experiencias vividas en el sitio. Mi viaje ha sido en pareja esta vez, siempre un viaje mochilero y con budget contado. No nos hemos permitido todos los lujos de una grande ciudad internacional y tampoco hemos entrado y visitado todos los museos históricos y/o artísticos de Berlín. Mejor dicho no hemos ni visitado Isla de los Museos  sin embargo hay que decir que Berlín es una sorpresa en cada esquina. Hay museos, por ejemplo gratuitos, como Futurium: un museo sobre la tecnología, innovación y futuro de la especie humana y del mundo, en pleno centro de la ciudad. Lo que me ha gustado mucho de esta ciudad es la modernidad. Hay que admitir que la ma

Lanzarote is one of the islands of Macaronesia and with the seven other islands forms the Canary Islands situated close to Africa in the open Atlantic ocean. Lanzarote is a volcanic and arid island, with a peculiar nature: there aren’t big trees and you won’t find tropical vegetation, even if the island itself is considered to be a tropical island. Driving through it you can see vulcans that sometimes look of different colours and shapes. Because of its particularity it is so easy to find peace and relax. As well it offers different trails and tracks to explore and discover the little hidden places this island has to offer. Famara In the north west of the island there is a place called Caleta de Famara, this is a little village of fisherman with a 4 km beach. The beach is incredible and here is possible to try out different water sports: surf, kite surf, stan up paddle board; and also hand gliding and paragliding and so on. The tourism in Famara is not invasive, also bec

Tonight I'm listening dreams from Cranberries, I was on Facebook looking at random photos from friends made while travelling New Zealand already 7/8 months ago and nostalgia came to me. Nostalgia of different time, from when I was so young and little, to just few years ago, to months ago. I felt I wanted to write more often but did not stop to do it actually. I had been writing a short piece of article on my way to Florence almost one month ago while on the train, but internet didn't cooperate and so I don't have any draft saved. By the way I've been back to Italy from the end of May and had some decision taking time that brought me to enjoy a beautiful summer down south in Italy, at the heel of the boot in Puglia and to be correct in Pugnochiuso, a little private beach close to Vieste in the Gargano area. I took the chance to do a dive master internship in scuba diving and work there at the resort from Marcegaglia. The months went so fast, the experience was gre

Abel Tasman National park is one of the most famous National parks of the south island in New Zealand. I've been hiking there 40 km in 3 days days and 2 nights. The total walks island 51 km with the south end being Marahau, where all the water taxi and many tour company start their trip/ It is really famous because it has several bays and so known golden beaches with beautiful cristal water. Many people go kayaking through different companies and/or combine kayaking and hiking on a 2/3 days tour. The combinations offered by tour operators are many and anybody is able to walk at least a part of it taking the water taxi in the way in and or the way out in only a day. But hiking and camping is a wonderful experience to do in Abel Tasman, sleeping in remote and out of civilation huts or in nice beach camping grounds is such a beautiful and rejuvenating adventure to get back in contact with nature and its beauty. Depending on the period of the year you want to hike Abel Tasman Nat

On my way back from the unique experience that I don't really know how to describe: 12 days at Martins Bays Lodge helping out as a wwoofer in the Fiordland National Park on the hollyford track. Martins bays lodge is a quite remote place reachable through air or water only. The way to go took me on a helicopter flight over Milford Sound and the north part of the fiordland National park, as well as the way to go out: the first way short and of top of the fiords,  the second along the coast and in the middle of Milford sound. I really can't describe my happiness of being in the middle of the sound, half way between water level and the highest fiord in a helicopter: just so stunning!! The pilot took us close to the waterfall as well with an incredible manovre! But this was just the last days of the magic experience just lived. The first day flying in and got assorted a room in the staff quarter, a nice and cosy room, nice focaccia bread sandwich waiting for me and a chocolate coo
