Since I opened my eyes this morning I’ve been feeling an irresistible desire to travel, to wander the streets of unknown places until I don’t feel my legs, to photograph interesting buildings and passersby, to find on every hill a perfect spot overlooking the city and to taste the most famous sweets of every place I visit. The one who travels is happy, the one who visits different continents, Machu Picchu, the one who surfed in Australia, visited the pyramids in Egypt, dived in Bali, drank coffee in Italy and spent a day in Manhattan. That person is happy and rich. Travelling gets us…
Today I went back to Amsterdam. I’m so in love with that city that I often return there and wander its streets in my thoughts. I watch the buildings and I get transported to XVII century Amsterdam, I’m trying to imagine how it looked like back then while I’m trying to avoid the cyclists who are coming towards me without any intention to slow down.

I’ve always loved Italy. Somehow, every time I think about that country, my heart starts beating faster and I’m ready to jump into the first plane and go to any of its cities, drink a coffee in some Italian bar and wander through unknown streets.

You will understand each other without a spoken word, when your eyes meet their look will tell you how they feel and their silence will speak more than hundred words. Your true love will always be there, ready to…
Ever since I was a child, I refused to eat carrots even though everybody kept saying how good it was for eyesight, how Bugs Bunny loves carrots, how the rabbits we had adored it. In vain. I never wanted to taste it. I’ve never been crazy about vegetables, which is pretty bad, I know, everybody keeps repeating that to me. I perfectly understand it, the only problem is I can’t bring myself to eat some things, no matter how healthy and good they are. But, I found a way to smuggle some vegetables through the recipes and make myself eat them. You’ve…
