Dream dream dream


Lago di Como, in July 2008...my last days in Italy after 10 months of Erasmus exchange...


Why did I start this blog? I had no time for other one, or so it seemed as I had a long break with no new posts..I have been trying to figure our how to change it altogether to match a broader scale of interests, so here I try to keep it simple and short. So the main purposes of this blog could be listed here and now:

-write down some daily impressions about traveling for myself, my friends, family and whoever would like to read
- share some pictures from the past and maybe even from present, if I travel somewhere in the near future)
-keep track of my travel plans
-at least try to keep travel tips, advice from friends, travel guides, magazines and so on in some order! I have accumulated in my travel diaries and million little notes that I loose a lot of information that could be useful for some others, too. I know that the locals know always the best where to go and what to do, so I also want to write down some tips for my friends who might ask "what do you suggest I should do in Venice?"
- I dream about traveling all the time so maybe this is a way to nourish my fever rather than calm it down :)

Valentine's travels

LOVER! What a great place to go for a Valentine's day, suggests Visit Britain! :) I read occasionally those Visit Britain newsletters that I have subscribed to - maybe after participating in a competition for free flights? :) Sometimes there are some nice tips or at least some lovely pictures of green landscapes that make me dream of traveling there again. My last time in UK was in December 2006, so I should maybe take some of those tips more seriously!

What about this? "Recreate a romantic movie moment in Lancashire! If you fancy a Brief Encounter, snatch a kiss under the clock at Carnforth Station which looks much as it did in the 1945 David Lean film. For more recent romance seek out the locations of Four Weddings and a Funeral or Notting Hill in London."

Tonight I long for




Tonight I long for the rooms that are filled up with books
The shelves are reaching up to the ceiling
Books even above and around the doors, stairs, furniture
I never bought there anything, but I always wanted to visit
