On January 16th, 2016, I published in my blog my very first article dedicated to this green paradise. Today, looking back at those pictures, I realize how much it has changed, if not further improved (and it was already starting from a very good starting point!). The statues have been restored and the Karst Vegetation…
We are only two hours away from Trieste. After not even five minutes into the highway, leaving behind the Natisone Valleys (which I had already introduced you to last summer, more precisely here), and passing through Kobarid and the wonderful Bovec, we arrive in Soča, the place where I’ll pitch my tents for a few…
Yes, you read that right. Only an hour and fifteen minutes from Trieste, although the word “valleys” brings the mind to much more distant destinations. And yet… In an Instagram direct, I asked you what different content you’d like to find on my blog: the answer was a resounding “short 2 days itineraries close to…
Once upon a November 2018, I came here to celebrate my 40th birthday with some friends (if you missed the article about it, here it is, ready to enjoy) And then…well, the pandemic and its lockdowns hit. It seems like ages ago, doesn’t it? But last November I found a glimmer of hope. And I…
It’s been almost a year since the last time I’ve put my feet on the green fields of Slovenia, and I never thought I would be so emotional once I would do it again 🙂 What I find really unbelievable, borderline magical, is how the landscape changes only a few kilometers away from home: I’m…
I love to check out new places close to Trieste where you can spend a nice weekend while relaxing and, why not, enjoying good food, and those who know me can attest that. This time, I am in Brda, the Slovenian Colllio, a fascinating place overlooked by gentle hills and vine rows; here, among wineries…
We’re just 20 minutes from Trieste and I suggest you reach this restaurant from the Monrupino border; from here we can start our trip to discover Slovenia’s flavors. Once you cross into Slovenia you’ll be surrounded by green countryside and along the road you’ll cross many little towns like Duttogliano. There’re loads of respect for…
There’s a wonderful place I’ve already told you about many times. A place that in the spring time is covered in thousands of colors: the Vipava Valley, Vipavska which means dolina in Slovenian, is an area that spreads from the Gorizia plane to the Resderta hills, in Slovenia. Right here, among vineyards and blossoming cherry…
If you follow me on social media you’ll know I’ve just returned from a three-day trip to Laško, a center which is famous for its beer as well as for its thermal spring! This time I had a special guest with me. Giovanni I couldn’t go without him once he knew I’d be at Thermana,…
I have to be honest: if they had offered me this vacation a couple of years ago, I’m not sure I would have accepted. I had always imagined that this type of holiday was strictly reserved for two types of people. Sport fanatics and whoever was addicted to pampering themselves and… retired people! But I…
