went North, found Oslo

Image
My latest travel consists in a little adventure up north in the Scandinavian city of Oslo. To sum it up in a few words, this is among the few places that make me feel like I would actually like to live in it and not just be a tourist. I always prefer to let the photos do the talking for me.  - our airbnb -  - the touristy stuff - Oslo Opera House - my favorite place in Oslo must be the home of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet , and the national opera theatre in Norway - Barcode Project - a geometric system that stands out architecturally (as I later found out, there has been intense public debate about the height and shape of the buildings) - Vigeland Park - the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist - Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art - this is a place where you have to set some time aside to visit it completely - Oslofjorden - seen bellow from opposite sides (photos taken one da

found a road that led me to Rome

Image
I might become a city break aficionado and since we all have to start somewhere, for this particular trip, I went to the city of seven hills, better known as Rome. Although my stay consisted of only two days, I actually managed to visit many of its landmarks. I will be coming back for sure, considering I did not get the chance to see the Sistine Chapel. The city through my lens is down below. - Altare della Patria - - Il Vittoriano, Rome view from Piazza Venezia - - Exhibitions -   Pablo Picasso Claude Monet - Vatican City - - Colosseum - - Arch of Constantine - - random -  - a cup of coffee from the coziest place, Il Mercato Centrale, my beloved San Pellegrino straight from the source & a bunch of postcards - - & a few other beautiful photos and places that did not make it on the blog -

travel journal: Thessaloniki

Image
During my annual trips to Greece I do not have the occasion to visit too much due to the fact that, it is more like a family trip with its sole purpose being relaxation (standing by the beach, eating local food, sleeping etc.). However, this year we decided on taking a detour through Thessaloniki. We spent half of our day there so, consequently, we did not see every part of this beautiful city. Here it goes. take a pair of comfy shoes and go on the left : the Arch of Galerius Aegean Sea me and my little brother · street view  Hagios Demetrios local deliciousness : dates & freshly made smoothies Ruins of the Roman Forum (Ancient Agora) This is what I could see in such a short amount of time. I will certainly come back as the city has much more to offer. Thank you all for reading an see you next post!
