Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
I am an Italian girl with the hobby of travelling. At the age of 23 I´ve decided to go to Australia on a Working Holiday Visa. After this awesome experience and before heading back home I´ve travelled to New Zealand, Fiji and on my way back I did a 3- weeks “Stop Over” in Thailand. This experience made me become a travel freak. I am in the need of escaping at least once a year from the “normal” life/routine and to catapult myself in a new experience/new country visiting some gorgeous places and trying to get to know local people and local cultures as much as possible. I am not an “all inclusive” sort of Traveller even though I´ve made some of these trips. I love wandering around with my backpack and I do love to plan each step of my trip by myself (as well as helping my friends planning their trips).
