272 steps to reach the Batu Caves

October 1, 2015 // 0 Comments

English Italiano Ready for my second day in Kuala Lumpur! Tim and I had a quick shower and went to the kitchen of the hostel to have breakfast, as in a lot of hostels in Asia, breakfast was toast with butter but we also tried the popular coconut jam called Kaya. Kaya means “rich” in Malay and it ‘s actually the perfect word for the coconut jam that is very thick, creamy and sweet. Eccomi pronta per il mio secondo giorno a Kuala Lumpur! Kuala Lumpur si è distinta anche nella colazione, infatti ci ha permesso di assaggiare la tipica marmellata malese chiamata Kaya ( negli altri ostelli la colazione era sempre stata pane, burro e banane). La kaya è una marmellata di cocco e uovo […]

Kuala Lumpur

September 4, 2015 // 0 Comments

English Italiano What can I say about Kuala Lumpur, also called KL? It was beyond my expectations! As I wrote in my previous post I flew to Malaysia only because I found a cheap flight, few backpackers that had traveled there told me it was not anything special. Well, I am glad I didn’t pay too much attention to their opinions! Cosa posso raccontarvi su Kuala Lumpur, chiamata KL dai suoi abitanti? Bè… sicuramente ha superato ogni mia aspettativa! Come ho già scritto nel post precedente, sono andata in Malesia solo perché i voli erano economici, molti viaggiatori mi avevano detto che la terra di Sandokan non era nulla di speciale e io, come al solito, non ho ascoltato nessuno e sono partita alla scoperta […]

Goodbye Indonesia, hello Malaysia

August 13, 2015 // 0 Comments

English Italiano I had spent two weeks and a half in Indonesia and it was time for a change. I wasn’t sure whether to go to Myanmar or straight to Thailand but when I checked the flights fairs I realised going to Malaysia would have been way cheaper. I booked a flight to Kuala Lumpur and left Indonesia 2 days later! WELCOME TO MALAYSIA!!! My first impression of Malaysia was that I was in a more modern country than I had been before: nice roads, a lot of facilities, wifi everywhere… The second thing that I’ve noticed is that It’s a multicultural country, it’s litterally the whole world in one country! I loved that! Dopo due settimane passate ad esplorare l’Indonesia, ho deciso di cambiare aria […]

Kawah Ijen, the volcano with blue flames

July 24, 2015 // 2 Comments

English Italiano I had read about it, seen pictures and videos of it and there was no way I could possibly leave Indonesia without seeing it! I am talking about Kawah Ijen which is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. Kawah Ijen is an active volcano that last erupted in 1999, it is popular for its blue flames but there’s so much more to see. Avevo letto cose straordinarie sul suo conto, visto foto e video e non avrei mai lasciato l’ Indonesia senza vederlo! Sto parlando di Kawah Ijen, il vulcano dalle fiamme blu la cui ultima eruzione risale al 1999. Scalarlo è stata una delle esperienze più toccanti della mia vita, le fiamme blu sono solo una delle meraviglie che questo […]

I went to Marocco for one day

July 17, 2015 // 0 Comments

Tra i timbri del mio passaporto non c’è quello del Marocco ma in realtà questo Paese, che non ho mai visitato, è come se l’avessi un pò vissuto attraverso i miei amici marocchini. Esattamente 9 anni fa ho iniziato a lavorare in una pizzeria del paese in cui vivo, il destino ha voluto che fosse gestita da una famiglia marocchina. Dico il destino perchè da sempre sono stata interessata alle lingue e culture di posti lontani e stare a contatto con questa famiglia ha sicuramente reso il lavoro molto più piacevole e stimolante. I don’t have any passport stamp that proves I went to Marocco because I traveled this country not going there but through the friendship that I have with a beautiful maroccan family. I started […]

When I got lost hiking an active volcano in Indonesia

June 11, 2015 // 0 Comments

That’s me happy and proud on the edge of the crater of Bromo, an Indonesian active volcano. It was not easy as it seems to get there! The story is long because a lot happened and I felt so many emotions in such a short time! You don’t feel like reading? Scroll down the screen and you will see all the amazing pictures of this incredible adventure! I am sure you will come back here after seeing my shots, you will need to know what happened ! *** Eccomi qui! Felice e orgogliosa dopo avere scalato uno dei tanti vulcani attivi dell’Indonesia: Bromo. Non è stato poi così facile arrivare alla cima del vulcano, la storia è lunga perchè in poco tempo sono successe tantissime […]

THE BIRDS MARKET AND RANDOM ENCOUNTERS

May 27, 2015 // 0 Comments

Quiet and normal days don’t exist in Indonesia… I was going to take it easy that day, I just wanted to visit the birds market and sleep but the unexpected happend: Le giornate banali non esistono in Indonesia… Volevo andare al mercato degli uccelli e dormire ma ecco che cosa è successo: Can you see the man on the left? I met him as soon as I stepped out of my hostel, he’ s a Russian doctor and is volunteering in Indonesia, he was quite a character with his unbottened shirt and baggy trousers. He joined me and asked me to take pictures of him with my camera (I have like 20 pictures of him pretending to be Super Man with some locals, I am […]

The wild rush to Borubudur

April 10, 2015 // 0 Comments

Borubudur was one of the things I REALLY wanted to see in Indonesia, I heard of it thank to an italian reality game called Pechin Express and I remember thinking “ I MUST GO THERE”. Matteo and me were supposed to wake up at 2 am to see the sunrise from the beautiful temple but my alarm clock didn’t work and we opened our eyes when it was too late. We had breakfast in our hostel (by the way breakfast was GREAT, we could choose between noodles, eggs and banana pancake everyday) and we met three other guys that wanted to see Borobudur so we decided to go together in the afternoon. Sono una fan sfegatata di Pechino Express (il reality game dove i giocatori viaggiano […]
