Land of Smiles

Thailand.. People call it Land of Smiles, which is absolutely true, but for me it’s also a Land of incredibly beautiful sunsets and sunrises, delicious food, crystal clear beaches, and air filled with fragrance of tropical flowers, sweet spices, sea water and something special that is difficult to explain. But this air blows my mind and makes me come back again! Thailand is a country of contrasts, some people love it, some people hate it. For me it’s the best place to escape from reality and kill the stress.

Shine on beautiful Verona!

My summer trip to Verona was a great combination of amazing views and amazing music!

Verona is the city of glorious medieval buildings and beautiful bridges. It has been named a UNESCO WORLD Heritage Site because of importance of many historical buildings. All those views amazed me, especially tiny streets which lead to a historic center and very beautiful “piazzas”. Sometimes sightseeing can become boring but it impossible to happen in Verona, you can feel the vibes of the city, its ambiance.

It’s really an incredible feeling when you’re exploring the city, first settlement of which probably dates back to the 1st century BC. It’s even difficult to imagine what happened back then on those streets, in those houses etc, which remain the same until nowadays.

Verona is famous for its Roman amphitheatre, the Arena, found in the city’s largest piazza, the Piazza Bra. It was completed around 30 AD. I was lucky to see this amazing Arena not only from outside, but also inside, attending the concert of legendary David Gilmour.

I was traveling to Verona in July, one of the hottest months there, so it was difficult to explore the city all day long, but it’s absolutely not a problem because you can take a break enjoying a cup of delicious cappuccino or a glass of Aperol Spritz and Italian ice-cream at one of those small and cozy cafes. By the way, once you try Italian ice-cream, you can’t stop eating it!

I will definitely come back to Verona once again!

Mysterious Pompeii

Pompeii is the most mysterious and mystical place I have ever been. It’s quite a strange feeling to see all those ghostly ruins of Roman streets, houses, temples etc, which were buried by Vesuvius eruption in AD 79, and imagine what they looked like before that awful disaster. The scenery which includes these ruins and Vesuvius on the background in absolutely breathtaking. There are so many stories (both research and myths) regarding what really happened to Pompeii, but seems that nobody knows the full story.
