    Sagra della Castagna di Manziana [Chestnut Festival of Manziana]

    After two years of hiatus (thanks Covid🙄), the long-awaited Chestnut Festival returns to Manziana. The Sagra della Castagna di Manziana [Chestnut Festival of Manziana], is among the Italian festivals, and we have a lot of them here in Italy! It’s a two-day celebration, dedicated to the autumn fruit and more. The event takes place in the centre of the town and was born from the collaboration of traders, associations and over 200 volunteers from Manziana who, year after year, give their contribution to the realization of the festival. The event aims to help revive the economy of the town in the province of Rome, involves children, and gives space to…

    ITALY

    Italia (Italy) is a country very rich in history, food, traditions, landscapes and culture and I’m lucky to be able to not only Travel in Italy but also LIVE IN ITALY! Traces of Italy’s great past having been home to the Roman Empire, its history can be found all over the country. The best way to experience the history & culture of Italy is by immersing in some towns and villages. Let me break it down for you what Italia is composed of: There are 20 Regions in Italia, these are ; REGIONE (REGIONS) CAPOLUOGO (CAPITAL) Abruzzo L’Aquila Basilicata Potenza Calabria Catanzaro Campania Napoli Emilia Romagna Bologna Friuli-Venezia Giulia Trieste…

    Castel di Tora & Colle di Tora

    Hello my beautiful people. Today we have a travel blog on Castel di Tora & Colle di Tora. I must say that the place is spectacular! Castel di Tora: Castel di Tora is an Italian town of 278 inhabitants in Rieti province, in the Lazio region and it is located in the Turano valley. It is reflected from the north-eastern shore in Lake Turano. Guys, I am so proud that I captured that reflection photo of the mountains on the Lake with just my phone. I actually wish I had my camera along but still, the photos were amazing 👌👌. Castel di Tora is part of the club of the most beautiful villages in Italy. I did a blog on Matera…

    Fontana di Trevi (Trevi Fountain)

    Hellooo there my peeps. How’s it going over there? Well, let me just say this for the last time because I think this convo is getting a tad bit too boring. It’s still bloody cold here in Italy!!!! Now it should be spring hence getting warmer and sunnier. I guess sweet Mother Nature is still having her beauty sleep and her alarm is broken. If you know where she lives please for the sake of the entire humanity, give her a ”wake-up call” … pun intentionally intended! Aaaanyho … today we have a travel vlog on Fontana di Trevi. This is where my love story ❝APPARENTLY❞ started. Brief History of…

    Cascata delle Marmore, Italy.

    Hola my beautiful friends, yes today we are doing another travel blog and it’s on Cascata delle Marmore in Italy. I realized that I had tons of content saved up on my phone so I thought why not put it out there. Who knows I might inspire somebody to visit the places that I visited. I generally love traveling, like my whole life has been a journey, lol, pun intended. I’m the kind of person that I just can’t sit still! And if I do, I get pretty grumpy! A funny fact about me is that when I was still living solo (aaaaah those days were AMAZINGGGGG!!). I would leave…

    Matera: One of the Most Spectacular Cities in Italy.

    Ciao beautiful people, hoping that you guys are doing well as I am. Honestly speaking, today Italy is under lockdown, AGAIN! However, I choose to look at the positive side and create more content so, today I decided to blog about my last years’ vacation in the beautiful city, South of Italy called MATERA. We all know that 2020 was the worst year for the Millenials and Generation Z’s especially because we never knew being locked down nor World catastrophe! The only thing that could stop my travel lust was Wuhan Virus. However, the WILL to travel was strong, and I’m so glad I could travel amidst the Pandemia. Despite…

Had a lovely time back to Kenya (1st home) to escape the winter blues, only to be welcomed with rain in Rome (2nd home). Ohh well, I guess rain is a blessing. Grateful to have all these opportunities 🙏
