My travels

Since i started to work i literally used almost all of my income to travel. I have been visitng most of the capitals of Europe, partially on a personal basis, sometimes also for work (but even then i tried to use all the time i had left to visit as much as i could). I hate our long and gloomy autumns and winters here in Europe, which is the main reason why I tried to "escape" at least once a year to warmer and sunnier areas of the world.

So far my favourite region remains the Carribean. I have become a "fan" when i had the chance to go on a cruise with my parents when i was 15. I got the opportunity to get a glimpse of a couple of islands and now that I live on my own I try to visit every single island in the Carribean. I am fascinated by the easy going way of live going on there "Take it easy", just relax, by the lovely people, the beautiful nature, the beaches and the pristine clear waters.

So far I have been to: Aruba, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Curaçao, Cozumel, Jamaica, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St Maarten, St Thomas. My next trip will probably be to Barbados.

I have visited the whole west coast of the United States from Seattle, to Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles and i have been to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and Brice Canyon.

My absolute favourite place on this continent must be New York, where i got to spend a week in April 2000.

I have only been once to the African continent (Tunesia) and I plan to head to South Africa during the next couple of years.

I also had a lovely, but short time in Thailand.

But right now I am obsessed with Australia. I plan to travel to Oz at the end of the year, I am even considering moving there, for a while or on a permant basis. I have never been there, but my instincts are telling me that i will ove it. The accents of the Australians is like music in my ears and i can't get enough of it.

But enough talking, I will try to post one single picture of every place I traveled to in the pas 20 years.

My first one will be from Corsica, my most recent trip (June/July 2009). This is an island in the Mediterranean and from all the places I have visited i can say that in my opinion it is the most diversified island. There is something for everyone: beaches, mountains, lakes, forest, trekking, beautiful old cities, lots of nice little shops and restaurants.... You will not be disappointed.
