Kilimanjaro – The Summit

Every single day is different on the mountain. The sceneries are changing every hour of the day. It is like you haven’t got enough eyes to see every tiny detail. The whole experience is overwhelming and this is why I recommend to keep a daily diary during the whole hike. I did that and it helps to rediscover the…

Athens it is.

Athens is the city I lived for almost a decade, this hungry for every kind of experiences decade of my twenties. I can even count the intensity of my staying in the city by the kilometres on my Vespa’s counter (more than 150.000 in ten years, the majority of them inside the city’s centre). As…

Kilimanjaro – The journey

After a long flight, with a very long layover in Istanbul, I landed in Kilimanjaro National Airport.

In the majority of the cases I catch myself even looking for it, especially the last years this question kept on coming up in an…

Choices

We all have to make choices in life. These tiny ones, but still of importance: what to eat today or what to wear. We are asking ourselves all the time if we make the right choices. The studies that you take at the university, the city you live in, the place you work for, etc….

“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustave Flaubert

There are certain things that we are good at, right? In my case, one of these things is researching/planning and of course executing all sorts of travels. Travelling is an almost mystical experience for me. It is something more than cultural exchange that pushes me to start the ritual of website hopping till I find…
