Inside Turin (Torino), my hometown, during the olimpics. Something to let you know abt my wonderful city, and his inhabitants. Just enjoy.

Because of the snowfall in Austria, trains were delayed and I ended up staying overnight at a hostel in Verona. The next day I hopped back on the train to meet another friend from my Swedish exchange, Chiara, in her home city of Torino (Turin in English). Chiara lives conveniently close to the …

Originally we were supposed to arrive in Torino at 11AM, but we don't even get into Torino until 11pm.  And, once we arrived in Torino, Erin and I had a pleasant little surprise waiting for us - a taxi sciopero!!  Just our luck.  However, this is the exact moment where our luck …

Spending Thanksgiving week with my sister in Spain, and then spending a week on my own in Italy

Thanks to an inebriated night in Venice, we made plans to head back to Torino and here we were!  Since we had spent the last time running all over Torino getting chocolates with the Chocopass and seeing Olympic events, we didn't get to see as much of Torino as we wanted.  So we were using…

There you can go and visit Turin,Novara and Asti (famous for wine production),enjoy the breathless scenario of lake Maggiore and lake Orta.

Zo daar zitten we dan weer op een vliegveld te wachten tot het zover is. Op een of andere manier heb ik een raar kriebel gevoel, maar dat zal wel weg trekken. Misschien toch een beetje zenuwachtig omdat dit weer een “nieuw” vliegveld is, het is toch altijd even ontdekken hoe en wat en met di…

I didn't see the sacred shroud of Turin, however the towel in my hotel was made of linen. Does that count for something? The train ride from Nice, France to the Italian Border was truly spectacular! I wound it's way up steep mountain valleys that reminded me of both Big and Little Cottonwood …

Vacations with my parents and my husband at my brother's in Italy. Great Summer 2006

I had been in Bergamo 2 weeks when everything started to go haywire with the family I was staying with.  We keep having arguments about the kids and what time I was coming home at night and they only paid me I asked them about 1,000,00 times.  So, I tried to ring the au-pair agency, that …
