The land of smurfs was the classic lesser-known stop to which I so aspired, however. Arriving in Seville at night, we rented a car the next morning and left immediately to visit the smaller places before devoting ourselves to the major cities. This part of Spain in particular is really nice to do by car…

The Flood A major travel snag characterized my first day in Oman. The plan was to have an interlude in the Emirates. I would have my flight to Abu Dhabi in mid-afternoon and thus plenty of time to leave my large backpack in the airport depot and visit the large mosque that is nearby. But…

I first went to the Dolomites in winter during my college years; together with fellow vacationers, rather than travelers that time. In those years traveling was not so important to me; everything revolved around friends. My recreational events were completely oriented toward dinners, discos and sports.

As a child, going to the Dolomites was the vacation, the only one of the year, with my parents. I went there other times as a boy with friends, and in July 2021 solo for a very thorough tour of the towns in the area as well. I can say that my all-too-recent interest in…

Arriving in Oman, while considering what to do in Muscat, I waited in vain for the hotel shuttle. Little harm because my sixth sense had assumed Plan B. For the last time in my life, I chose to be without a local sim and use the phone only with wifi.I would always love to have…

The itinerary of the trip to Oman This is an idea for a solo trip to Oman and the UAE. I did 9 days by public transportation and rental car in December 2022. In this link is the episode of my podcastoddities on the road, in which I recount in voice and Italian the anecdotes…
