Witch Fest in Italy

En route to the Fest

He never saw a camera EVER!

It was funny but you have to speak the language!

Due – take due!

I have a laser and you behave!

Do not talk now

Trouble in the future?

Looks good from up here

I like to travel, and I like to snap pictures!

My mother got me an Eurorail ticket when I was 15, and together with two friends, we adventured into France. This was the beginning of a new addiction. I do like to take pictures, so one thing leads to another. On this site, I want to share some of my pictures and some of my trips with you!
Now I am on the road for more than 8 months every year. Visiting old friends and making new friends while exploring this big blue ball.
