“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson

...this very quote captures so precisely the feeling I get the minute I land in a rather chaotic Egyptian airport, ruffling through the conveyer belt to find my luggage, eager to leave this transit zone, to be almost suffocated by the humidity, yet comforted by the contrast of the tingly warmth on my skin, I so profoundly missed when in air-conditioned localities. It is that moment that I stop and realize where I am, that moment that excites my every last molecule because I know I am free to explore, absorb, engage, encounter, soak up, exchange and most importantly live through that specific travel journey. Dear reader, I welcome you to this site... a site filled with truth, reality, and emotion. My journey of travels, free for you to interpret and get lost in, whichever way you please...

You may navigate through my website anyway that you like. At the very top of this page the different sections of my chronicles can be found, in the form of photography, blogs or encounter stories... You may leave comments or simply silently immerse. There will be no defined agenda on how the website will be updated, but to keep posted on when it is indeed updated, follow me at www.twitter.com/TheItaliopian.

Thank you for leaving your trace.... and come again.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”

Welcome to my Journey...
