Travel Log

Encounters with the unknown deepen the impressions and excitement of the journey. To be captivated by a totally different landscape, to experience something new, to try out local flavors, all for the first time,these are what make any journey exciting, allowing us to be immersed in a special sense of freedom that cannot be savored in daily life. The very act of coming into contact with the traditions, culture, climate and customs of the country we are visiting is in itself particularly precious.
