Hello everyone!

It will take a while to feed my photostream.

I would like to try to give an idea of the countries I've travelled with my images, like a sort of diary, a collection of the mood I felt about the places I've visited. I will upload old scanned slides and old digital images whose quality not always will be the best, but my aim now is conveying you the colours, the smiles and the sensations I collected along my paths, in a sort of a caleidoscopic view.

Sometimes, for the massive batch uploads, it will take a while to post a good note to each photos from my diary or a valuable source and frequently, for multiple images with the same subject, the title will be certainly bare or uninspiring

Thanks in advance for your patience and comprehension.

Everytime I'm starting a new trip I'm catching a dream... Discovering new places and meeting people with different customs, looking for new atmospheres, perfumes, smells, tastes, sounds.

Always I try to talk new languages and comunicate with the local people. Every trip in a new place is like to born again and the curiosity is the attitude I always try to keep.

When you travel you collect sensations: in your soul, in your mind, in your eyes. Away from home your senses are on the alert, ready to catch the new as, all around you is different.

When you came back home and you start again your ordinary life, these new sensations live inside of you like asleep, but suddenly, can happens at any moment, when you are not expecting, it will be maybe a flavour, a sound or maybe a sight that will arouse them and they will involve your mind. It will be like a pain and it will be too late at that time… No way than to start a new trip as soon as you can!

With my photos I try to pass on somebody my sensations about the places I visited and the people I met.

"We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves.

We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more

about the world than our newspapers will accommodate.

We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge,

to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed.

And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again

to slow time down and be taken in, and fall in love once more."

Pico Iyer
