One of my favorite things about our visit to Bologna was how off the beaten path it was. It wasn’t too crowded for June, there was a cool breeze and the vibe was very relaxed. We took the Frecciarossa( fast train) from Florence’s SM Novella station on a Tuesday and got in around 10:30am after…

What was once, will be again
As I wade through an endless pile of travel photos from the past year, I’m struck by how apprehensive I feel about traveling anywhere, funny thing is I’m always looking to travel somewhere. It was exactly around this time last year that restaurant reservations were made, apartments were booked, and plane tickets were in my…
Wandering the world – Girona, Catalunya
Girona, the city of four rivers with its peeling church bells and beautiful stone bridges, lies to the southwest of Barcelona, where visitors are invited to a historic center that is a stunning labyrinth of medieval corridors standing tall over the entire city. We visited on a warm day when the sky welcomed all of…
Barcelona
I’ve been away for so long, I feel if I have forgotten how to write. I’ve read some incredible books and have plenty of drafts, but I just couldn’t seem to write enough about them. I stopped and went back to reading, I’m hoping it will all come back to me. Wandering around the world…
Walking Around the World – Sri Lanka ( Part II)
My month-long journey in and around Sri Lanka was filled with so much joy. And yet it was my mum and the strong bond that is simply ours, that brought me the most amount of peace. The time was ours to enjoy, reminisce and grieve – my dad who is no longer with us(passed away…

Eating around the world – Athens

The Greek way of living, filled with heart healthy olives, drizzles of cold pressed olive oil, fresh vegetables grown on the island of Crete, fresh fish, lemon and erm some ouzo( although one should not…
Walking around the world – Athens
I just got back from seeing a little part of the world, I call the gateway to Europe – a magical place where the marriage of mythology and the symbolic stirrings of Western civilization brings you alive just by walking through the gates of the Acropolis. As you have a silent wander around the majestically…
A Pearl In the Indian Ocean
I may not have mentioned this before, but I am as obsessed with travelling as I am with books and Colin Firth.
