So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.

Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain

The Importance Of Red Valentino Shoes
It was love at first sight. Soft, red leather. An elegant high heel. Sophisticated, smart, passionate, full of fire, Italian. This Chique pair of extraordinary Valentino high boots had my name written all over them. Irresistible. The red handbag next to them was the icing on the cake. The most perfect accessory. Flawless.
For a week, the desire deep inside my heart bubbled up each time I passed the shopwindow. I gave myself two thousand reasons why I could not have them, and all of those reaso...

(Travel) Writer’s Diary: The Joy Of Calling It Quits – The Journey From Work Slavery To Travel Writer’s Freedom
Many years ago, somebody asked me: “What would you like to do, if you could do anything in the world?” I answered: “I would travel and write.” And that’s what I’ve been doing all my life, in various ways. My wanderlust and restlessness have led me all around the globe, allowed me to experience wonderful adventures and meet amazing people. For a very long time, too long if you ask me, it was just a hobby, a big passion that I longed to follow full time but I lacked the courage and resilience t...

A Tuscan Gem: The Queen Is Called Siena
Tuscany is world famous. It’s a large area full of contrasts, and although I love many places in Tuscany, my favorite is Siena and its surroundings.
Siena is not very big, it has only 65 thousand inhabitants. The city center is forbidden for cars, and no wonder – the medieval structure and architecture have remained untouched and unchanged until the present day.
The maze of alleys leads you to the amazing main square, Piazza del Campo. Just sit down in one of the many cafés, watch passersby and...

(Travel) Writer’s Diary: The Three Most Important Words Every Writer Must Know
Recently, there seems to be a very strange bug spreading among some of my friends. All of them are beautifully talented and fabulously creative. All of them once had a big dream, a wonderful vision. But somewhere along the way, when the road got bumpy and the journey seemed to be taking too long, when the first book didn’t become a New York Times bestseller, when the first attempt to get a client didn’t work out, when they first got rejected, when they immediately didn’t become millionaires,...
