Bologna

April 23, 2017 by runalittlestories

Bologna was another hop on hop off city for me. Like Milan, i only spent one night here. Another one strange night. Not like Milan, I had a tour guide here, Fulvio. He was my colleague back in Melbourne. He was also my Italian-practice buddy. We usually greeted each other with this: Him : Buon Giorno, Maria (Good Morning, Maria) Me : Buon Giorno. Come sta? (Good Morning, how are you?) Him : Bene, e tu? (Good, and you?) Me […]

Venice

April 16, 2017 by runalittlestories

For every loss, there is hidden gain. And for every gain, there is hidden loss. A quote from Hazrat Inayat Khan is the perfect way to describe my solo trip in Venice last autumn. Unexpected gain behind a hidden loss that i couldn’t not foresee beforehand. Venice has many names. La Serenissima. City of Water. La Dominante. City of Canals. But, my favourite one is ‘The Floating City’. The fact that this city is built on top of water amazed […]

Live Blogging : 31st December 2016

January 10, 2017 by runalittlestories

Here I am, at the end of my grand trip in circling Europe for 67 days. It started on 25th October 2016 and it ends today, 31st December 2016. Why 31st December? It’s because it’s the more dramatic way to end 2016 like this. Apparently I have a bit of drama queen character inside me.  I am sitting alone in middle of Brioche Doree in Charles de Gaulles Airport Terminal 1 with plenty other travelers who also travel in New […]

A glance of the Europe Trip

January 10, 2017 by runalittlestories

Two months before I departed, I resigned from my job. That’s why it was possible to do this trip. I won’t talk about the resignation topic in this post. It is a long story that require a new post. When I started the trip, I didn’t plan to spend 67 days, but 51 days. Why? A lot of things happened during the journey that made me decided to stay longer. I wanted to have more time in each city and […]
