Piran.. a shining pearl of the Adriatic Sea


Piran is a Slovenia’s pearl, tiny and lovely town with cobbled narrow streets, houses glued close together, numerous churches and  squares. Above the  town, on the very top of the hill, it rises the Church of St George, Piran’s patron. From here you have a breathtaking view over the town and the Adriatic sea.
You’ll find a beautiful deep blue sea to plunge in and delicious seafood that will make you drooling.
I’m so lucky because with just two hours driving I can find myself amid this paradise. Let’s have  look at Piran.
















Luch at "Tri Vdove"

With its adorable view, this restaurant located next to the sea,  offers you tasty and fresh food. Have a look at what I’ve tasted.

A day in Washington

I visited Washington with a daily trip from New York.
The capital of the United States  was founded in 1791. The city shows off load of monuments and memorials to honor politicians, former  statesmen and  the American history. 
With the main attractions such as the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the United States Capitol and the Washington Memorial,   Washington definitely worth a visit.

There's no need to spend flood of words to say how stunning it is New York, this city has only to be lived! Just remember a thing: leaving New york never easy, as The REM sang.

Spending a few days in Caorle


As I am an Italian girl it’s my due to show you the beauties of my marvelous country. I want to start off with Caorle,   a small fishing town localized in the province of Venice. 
The centre is lined with colored houses and historic gems like the Cathedral of Saint Stephen that was built in 1038 and the Church of the Blessed Virgin of the Angel . Many holidaymakers, especially from Austria (but not only), flock here to enjoy the sandy beaches, to do excursion to Venice ( it’s extremely easy to go to from Caorle), to catch a boat that can take people around a beautiful lagoon dotted with fishing huts, tiny islands and reed beds. Moreover,  you can taste delicious fresh fish, typical Italian specialties and  scrumptious ice-cream.
