My piccolo friendly guide to Florence

My piccolo friendly guide to Florence


Italy / Florence

Despite living for less than three months in the everlasting inspiring, gorgeous Florence, the capital of Tuscany, I can’t help but feel as though my wandering instinct had been under the city’s skin for a very long time!

Burgundy: the inseparable marriage between life and wine

Burgundy: the inseparable marriage between life and wine


In the charming French village of Beaune, a city of about 22.000 inhabitants, there's something almost sacred about tasting a wine, as if the outside world goes quiet for a moment so the greatest expressions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can manifest and be praised.

Stockholm: where marvelous and royal cultural heritage meets a modern, cool lifestyle

Stockholm: where marvelous and royal cultural heritage meets a modern, cool lifestyle


Sweden / Stockholm

I've always thought about Stockholm as a city where harmony, cooperation and order are imperative, where everything seems to be in its right place. Respectful and polite citizens, impeccable and quiet streets, stunning buildings and mesmerizing landscapes. Not to mention being a nation which presents an everlasting trust between the State and its population.

Thailand: mai pen rai

Thailand: mai pen rai


When exploring the Asian countries for the first time I think both our mind and heart can become really overwhelmed, not only because of their habits, culture and lifestyle but, especially, in my opinion, because of the everlasting spirituality. There's a spiritual vibe in Thailand's atmosphere that draws our attention that we simply cannot be oblivious to.

Amsterdam: an understated luxury

Amsterdam: an understated luxury


Netherlands / Amsterdam

It's quite a long time since the day when my future aspirations would be shaped to become my life's biggest dream. Looking back 10 years ago, I can still picture myself on that airplane; my wanderlust was in search of an exciting new journey to lead to the unknown. That was March 2011 when I visited Amsterdam for the first time. It was love at first sight. Madly.

A love letter for Brazil

A love letter for Brazil


Being away from my home country for two years is more than enough to acknowledge that I was not born to be separated from the things I care about the most: friends and family. Likewise, the sunlight. If only I could bring them all with me...

Italy: la più bella!

Italy: la più bella!


For me, Italy invokes the best feelings we can have in life: the pleasure of food, of a conversation among friends, of the union in a family, of the moment when our skin prickles when we first look at Santa Croce in Florence, of the streets full of clotheslines in Palermo, or the splendid color of the Lago di Como.

The glorious Austria

The glorious Austria


Austria is probably one of the richest cultures in the world, made up of many neighbours' influences and assembled by the unparalleled Austro-Hungarian Empire. The monarchy helped to shape a big deal of what we see until this day, which is immediately felt when we enter this wealthy country. It's glorious!

Bangkok: intense yet peaceful

Bangkok: intense yet peaceful


Thailand / Bangkok

There's very little bitterness in Thailand. I think that only a few sentences describe so well the mood that hovers and sets the tone of this country. As Bangkok is the gateway to Thailand, this is what I instantly felt and saw when I arrived there: genuine smiles, kindness, generosity, lightness, all together in harmony with the almost absence of bitterness.

Day trips from Amsterdam

Day trips from Amsterdam


The convenience of being in a small country is the facility of moving around within a couple of hours. Cities are close enough and allow us to explore the surrounds whilst we bring joy to ourselves facing new landscapes and fresh environments. In the Netherlands this proves to be right. Plus, we can get it all: beaches, hills, forests, urban life, medieval villages, and much more.

Vienna: all the splendor of a former imperial city

Vienna: all the splendor of a former imperial city


Austria / Vienna

Vienna is a city that sets the standard for elegance, prosperity and wealth. Given its aristocratic heritage, a hint of rigor can also be felt once you are breathing the Viennese atmosphere. For almost four centuries (1558 - 1918), Vienna was an imperial city, being the capital of the opulent Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Like a fairy tale

Like a fairy tale


Austria / Salzburg

A few hours after my arrival in Salzburg I knew this city would be completely mind-blowing. Right before saying goodbye I felt a mixture of joy and sadness. I would define this city as a laid-back version of Vienna. Its opulence and glory doesn't hit you in the face, but it does, however, have a sophisticated and low-profile atmosphere hand in hand with a swanky vibe.

Where to sleep in Bangkok

Where to sleep in Bangkok


Thailand / Bangkok

The hospitality chain all over Asia is likely to be the most benchmarked in the world. The level of discreet sophistication and attention to details are premises of which they proudly master. Quality is always taken to the top and comes with a surprise touch: from wonderful and unexpected amenities to delicate although impactful decor or incomparable food flavours.

The irresistible allure of Napoli

The irresistible allure of Napoli


Italy / Napoli

There's some certainties no one can deny about Napoli: they make the most authentic pizza in the world; they proudly showcase one of the richest street markets of Italy; they are blessed by being surrounded by a hypnotic turquoise sea coast and preserve their centuries old archeological sites and ancient ruins to make us dream about the past.

Love, pain, intensity and contrasts: this is my São Paulo

Love, pain, intensity and contrasts: this is my São Paulo


Brazil / São Paulo

São Paulo is not a place for the faint hearted, it makes you grow a thick skin. And writing about it, where I lived half of my life, brings up deep and buried feelings that once made me so much want to be there and to be part of something special. As a result of living there, I also made friends who became family. Is blood really thicker than water? I wonder.

The vibrant and unforgettable Tel Aviv

The vibrant and unforgettable Tel Aviv


Israel / Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv is one of the most vibrant, cosmopolitan and beautiful cities I have ever visited. In Tel Aviv you can see one of the most unforgettable sunsets, the beach is one of the city’s main attractions, and during the winter, the temperature drops a little but the days remain mainly sunny.
