Stories from the road and the arrival in Cumuruxatiba | Brazil

Leaving the beautiful mountainous landscapes of Minas Gerais and Espiríto Santo, we headed for the south of Bahia, more precisely to the town of Cumuruxatiba. If you missed the first posts on this journey by car through Brazil, I suggest you start with this one.

Life on the road is full of surprises and on this trip I learned that "the destination is the road". And that can apply to journeys and lives. These days on the road served to immerse me deeply in myself, in ways I didn't even think possible.

Coreglia Antelminelli a hidden gem near Lucca (Esp/Eng)

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day and we decided to treat ourselves to a small outing in the surroundings of Lucca in Coreglia Antelminelli, a small medieval village located in the Lucca countryside near the more well-known town of Barga. Coreglia is a small place that can be visited quickly but very charming, its name derives from the Antelminelli family, a famous medieval noble family from the area who owned this town. You enter Coreglia from a small climb and there are various car parks that line the round town, further away there is also a fortress that cannot be reached on foot from the village and which unfortunately we were unable to visit.

[Books] My journey as a reader and my readings for 2024 [ENG-ESP] Mi camino como lectora y mis lecturas del 2024

Hello friends of this beautiful community, this is my first time here and I would like to tell you that I have felt attracted to share my reading experiences from the first moment, that's why today I decide to introduce myself and bring to you the books I plan to read this year, while I will tell you past reviews and perhaps the books that have marked me most in my experience and history.

I am 34 years old, my name is Erika and I read since my childhood, this is not a minor fact, since it was not something that was instilled in me, I was simply interested in books, I found there an escape, a better world, and already at that time I was very happy reading about fantasy worlds, fictions of the most delirious and discovering some that seemed so true that they shook my reality.

The Louvre - a French work of art

You know, we are always in Turkey and in Turkey. We need some diversity in countries, don't we? And this variety has arrived! My old dream came true. Many girls have this dream, and finally we were able to make it come true. Namely - to fly to Paris, this wonderful and romantic city. And of course we went for a reason - because we wanted to see our brother. The flight lasted about 2.5 hours, departing from the city of Antalya. Next, since the airport was located a little further from the city, we needed to take a train. Having finally found the station and the train we needed, we relaxed looking at the view outside the window.

[ENG-ESP] The Highlight of My Valentine's Week | Around The World Challenge

Hello dear winters!✨️ Today I want to tell you a small summary of my week and show you a very beautiful and very special place. Our Valentine's celebration was to spend an afternoon with the family taking in the fresh air and watching the sunset. Fortunately that day the weather was perfect to enjoy outdoors, it was neither hot nor cold and the sky was very clear 🩵 that refreshing activity really took place on Tuesday, because on Wednesday the 14th we had to work all day, and we worked in stores wich sell a lot on these dates so it was a very busy week but also very entertaining. But Tuesday was definitely my favorite day.
