Bari: Italian welcome. The Sustainable European Tour, day 7.
Delays, lines, neverending boarding and a sleepless night. The trip from Bar to Bari was my first time with a medium-range ferry, and it was traumatic. I would like to resume, in this way, my last experience with the ferry Dubrovnik of the company Jadrolinija. A trip that was supposed to last “only” 10 hours […]
Bar: Beautiful and unexpected sunset. The Sustainable European Tour, day 6.
Bar, Montenegro 21/08/2017 I’m leaving Skopje at 19, of Sunday evening. Inside the bus, just me and the driver. Not the ideal situation for a Sustainable travel. During the night, we head to the south of Macedonia, from where we cross the border of Albania, then we follow up the coast, the sunrise welcomes us […]
Skopje: the city of the thousands statues. The Sustainable European Tour, day 5
Skopje, Macedonia 19-20/08/2017 I’m on the last km of the 250 km that there are between Sofia and Skopje, this autobus looks like he saw better days. But, for 14€ and a trip of 4 hours, it’s good enough. It is, surprisingly, full of young tourists. When the bus arrives at the central bus station isn’t […]
Sofia: a nice rediscovery. The Sustainable European Tour, day 4.
565 km, this is the distance between Istanbul and Sofia. The Bosforo Express will bring me, just for one day, back in the European Union. Departure time: 21:30, Arrival Time: ? Undefined. After all these are still the Balkans. The ticket, that I bought in the morning (no online ticketing), is saying 4 people sleeping […]
See you soon Turkey: Next destination Sofia! The Sustainable European Tour Day 3
18/08/2017 It’s time to leave Turkey and Istanbul, the Sustainable European Tour must go on. The Bosforo Express will bring me, during the night,to Sofia. I’m leaving behind a mix of cultures and traditions, the Galata Bridge is where the conservative and the “European” or Occidental culture mix. For this reason, I decided to wait […]
Istanbul: a timeless city. The Sustainable European Tour day 2
Sometimes, when you have too many expectations from a city, country or anything is most likely that they won’t be satisfied. It already happened to me, with other cities I’ve visited, that the reality was always below the expectations. Istanbul, on the other hand, didn’t break my expectations. It surprised me. With 15 Million of […]
Istanbul: the access door of Europe. The Sustainable European Tour, Day 1
Ready, set and go The European Sustainable Tour is finally started. I’ll pass through the Europe starting from one of its main entrance door: Istanbul. This backpack, with its 12 kg, will be my house and my only companion for all the trip. During the Tour, I will post a daily updated travel journal. Extimated […]
From Istanbul to Paris: The European Sustainable Tour
The United Nations General Assembly declared 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development. To promote this event I just launched my new project: A European Sustainable Tour, from Istanbul to Paris To be full green, I will set a maximum limit of CO2 to not overtake. I will analyze the emission of every single transport (bus, […]
The Milan you DON’T know
The Duomo? The Vittorio Emanuele Gallery? The Navigli? I’ve been living in Milan for 11 months now, often I had friends visiting me. Their first question was always “Where can I find the toilet?” then there was always a “What I need to absolutely see in Milan?” Last week, I tried to answer that question from […]
