Under the light of a thousand stars. In Copenhagen. Found myself thinking out loud about my Erasmus in Denmark – the experience that had the first greatest positive impact on my life. “Europe, here I come!” was the thought in my head the weeks and days before my scholarship started. Years later, I return under the Danish sun for a reunion or for new memories and an Ed Sheeran concert.

Now that we’ve made it to summer, I found myself in Italy, Liguria—near Portofino – where floral notes meet the fresh scent of lemons and the calming blue sea. Got to explore Camogli, swam in San Fruttuoso, and enjoyed a morning coastal walk from Camogli to nearby Recco, and a sunset one from Levanto to Bonassola.

Sometimes when I feel at a standstill – I turn to my travel stories and photographs. It’s nostalgic, but also inspiring. Reminds me of how much I’ve seen and also how much more is left to see. Takes me back to times I felt curious, in movement, open to surprises, traveling to new and old places. Travel is still a privilege in our times and one of the reasons I enjoyed each journey.

You look like a movie. You sound like a song.
Every summer does not look the same. This one had also a memorable concert in Bavaria, at the arena at Messe München, a custom-built stadium with around 75,000-seat for the German residency of Adele.

Once upon a time, it was Italy’s best kept secret. A rainbow of houses in Ligurian Cinque terre, literally meaning five lands. These 5 Italian cliffside villages along the Mediterranean coast from north to south are Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore.

Looking back at summer stories and my notes from the road. But first, coffee with ice cream and chocolate with fresh figs, just as I had in a Balearic Island. Summers where I find myself across different European countries or cultures is a story I want to be part of.

Paris is often on my mind in summer, and on my camera roll. Has a certain “je ne sais quoi”. Luckily is a city I have come to photograph often and got to know so well in the last 10 years, still can’t believe while writing this. I feel is just the beginning.

Greek islands and ancient mythology have always fascinated travelers, including myself. Corfu has a rich history where many civilization left their mark. Where time seemed to move at a slower pace.
Grateful for the Greek food & good coffee, the Ionian Sea, and the melody of their language. What I got to see, hear, feel and live every day in Greece brought me a lot of appreciation.

Tuscany is so beautiful, it has to be seen to be believed. The city of Florence is known for its overwhelming art galleries and Michelangelo Renaissance sculptures in marble, but still, I was struck by the colors and sounds of the cypresses or the scented air with notes of leather.

Best things to do in Italy all involve food. Bologna is at the center of Emilia-Romagna region, famous for Parmigiano-Reggiano and Prosciutto di Palma, but also aceto balsamico di Modena and much more. And to think I associated in the past the city only with pasta sauce and the Bologna university system, home of Europe oldest university.
