Today was my last day at the Spanish School, and my time in Colombia will be coming to an end next week. Even if there are still some days left in Cartagena, I went ahead and wrote a love letter to this fantastic city.

Yesterday's excursion to the Rosario Islands made me think about change. Sometimes change is slow, other times feels like a speed boat ride. Here are my reflections on the theme, scribbled on a Caribbean beach. 

Today is our first wedding anniversary. I’m in Colombia while Umberto is leading a normal life at home. We may be separated by time zones and geography, but are together in spirit. It’s time to celebrate!

It’s my last evening in Medellín - this time round. I've grown to love this city over the last fifteen days. Here are the things I love most.

An entire week has already passed since I landed in Colombia, and the first week at Centro Catalina Spanish School has flown by in an instant. Here are my reflections at the end of week 1.

I love traveling in great company. And I love traveling solo. Traveling alone has some incredible benefits, it can even change your life. Reflections on the theme as I’m starting a six-week solo trip in Colombia.

September is here. The soft late summer sun brings back beautiful memories from Camino de Santiago a year ago. It was an unforgettable experience which I want to relive.

I had a dream last night. A dream of a place where different ethnicities and religions were living in harmony, side by side. It was not only a dream, it was also a memory.

August is the month that I dedicate to home living, and the beach becomes our second living room. “Home” is such a simple word but can be understood differently. Here’s what it means to me.

August 16 is my favorite day of the year in Vasto. It’s the day of a lovely local tradition, and we’ve created our own (romantic) version for the home.

Hanko is the southernmost town in Finland, known for its beaches and beautiful coastline. For me, it means a lot more than that.

A hot summer day at home brought back the memory of a lovely conversation. Learning to love yourself is important, just don’t get misguided by clichés.

We spent magical days sailing with dear friends in the Archipelago Sea in Finland. The dream-like experience touched my soul.

Elephants are my favorite animals. Our visit to Chiang Mai made me respect these majestic, intelligent animals even more than before.

We tend to think of football as a sport and a business. But sometimes, a football match is a lot more than just a game.

We love visiting Albania. On our latest visit, I had an interesting realization about the secret of strong, lasting relationships.

Sometimes, our paths cross briefly with people who teach us something valuable, something that remains in our hearts forever. This happened to me in Kampong Phluk, Cambodia.

Living in different countries and cultures enriches your life but can also make you feel like an outsider - even in your original home country. The concert of the Italian rock icon Vasco Rossi stimulated my reflections on the theme.

A dear Portuguese friend invited me over to visit her in the Algarve. The visit was absolutely enchanting. And the Atlantic winds brought me an important message about love.

The Caribbean island of San Andrés was almost left out of our Colombian tour itinerary. Luckily, I did include it in the end. It turned out to be our kind of a place.
