London Calling

I wish I had more time to spend in London as it is one of my favorites cities ever. But even a tiny slice of it was enough to make me happy. 

Too tired to say anything else. More on my Instagram.

Colchester Town

This weekend I got to spend some days in the beautiful and picturesque city of Colchester as a friend of mine is currently studying there.

This town has something in the air that constantly reminds you of Jane Austen. British clichés and an atmosphere that makes us think we are in another century (maybe 18th or 19th). And all this contrasting with the modern facilities of the university of Essex.
Plus, fake snow because it's fun!
This sums it up I guess.

The Music And The Mountains

Last week I had the opportunity to spend a few days at a summer camp for young musicians. It was a beautiful experience as I got to meet incredible (and very very talented) new people and study piano. The location was dreamy as the hotel where we were staying was surrounded by mountains and the village nearby was very picturesque. Here's a selection of my favorite pictures. 

Throwback Vol II: Italia

In the summer of 2012 I took a trip to the north of Italy with my parents. We rented a car and went through some famous cities of Tuscany, Lombardy and Piedmont such as Bologna, Pisa, Turin etc etc... The colors of an italian summer are fantastic and the gelato delicious so it was a very enjoyable trip. One of my favorite things about Italy is that you can walk in a very narrow street in the middle of a city and suddenly a huuge cathedral or palace or whatever can appear. I find this breathtaking. I was also in a museum kind of mood and as I was underage, most of them were free (lucky me). So I also learnt many interesting things about history and art on this trip.
I had forgotten about those pictures - this is something I often do: I take hundreds of pictures, I look at them, I like some, but then I completely forget to show them to anyone. I think I posted one or two of those on facebook and others on my tumblr blog.
Here is my Throwback Vol I. 

Up In The Air Again

Sometimes I think that nobody cares about pictures taken from a plane but then the sky is so photogenic and I just can't hold myself.

Despedida

So, I think I've already said how much I love Madrid in this post. But this time my visit there was even more special for two reasons: I spent New Years Eve with my friend Sofia and her lovely family and friends and I got to see a friend I haven't seen in a very very long time. It was a trip full of happy reunions and I started this year with a very optimistic vibe.
I'm not gonna say again how much I adore this city and blabla but seriously one of the best things someone can do in their lives is go to Madrid and walk around in the city centre (with or without company).
Here's a bunch of pictures I really like.
Despedida is a really good song by the way.

Geneva by Night

And the sun is setting and the night falls in Geneva. But no darkness. Lots of light. Obviously very pretty Christmas lights.  Also big bright signs on top of buildings such as "Rolex" and "Cartier". And I was like "Oh I'm a bit lost here but look there's an enormous "Rolex" sign over there so I know where I can buy a new watch." And most of it reflecting in the lake and making everything even prettier. I even saw some random phrases on top of buildings. I really loved this city, seriously.
Plus, a photo of a very impressive exhibition at CERN.

Sunny Geneva

Very chic. Very european. Very expensive. I just loved Geneva. Even though it was very cold. But it was sunny. Sunny works for me. I particularly liked: the narrow streets of the old town, the infinity of the lake, the frost on the grass (that looks like snow but isn't), the fact that public transport is free for tourists (so hop on a bus when you get tired of walking or too cold to function), the fact that you see a designer's shop on every corner (I enjoyed staring at them like a homeless girl daydreaming about wearing 2000 CHF dresses). It was a lovely weekend anyway so now I'm gonna eat all the swiss chocolate I brough home with me. Bye. (There's more from Geneva coming soon)
