This is great news!

Italy launches summer tourist train from Milan to Tuscany's coast Italy launches a new express rail service linking Milan to Tuscany's Versilia coastline as part of a tourist train initiative on select dates this summer.

Some people take life for granted my life has been Bittersweet and my travel memories always put me check on bad days.
I believe traveling is the best way to continue to understand people and the world we live in. The people I meet along the way is always a lesson of the diversity. Get out of your comfort zone and get out there. 🌏🌝✈️📷🛳️🚆🧳

You start dying slowly ;
if you do not travel,
if you do not read,
If you do not listen to the sounds of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.
You start dying slowly :
When you kill your self-esteem,
When you do not let others help you.
You start dying slowly ;
If you become a slave of your habits,
Walking everyday on the same paths…
If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colours
Or you do not speak to those you don’t know.
You start dying slowly :
If you avoid to feel passion
And their turbulent emotions;
Those which make your eyes glisten
And your heart beat fast.
You start dying slowly :
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain
If you do not go after a dream
If you do not allow yourself
At least once in your lifetime
To run away from sensible advice
Don't let yourself die slowly
Do not forget to be happy!

Guess we all need to go back to Pompeii!  who is in?

It has been thousands of years since the eruption of Mount Vesuvius left Pompeii in ruins, but the ancient archaeological site continues to offer new findings.

An ornate "blue room" has finally been excavated after being discovered over 200 years ago.

The rare blue room has been interpreted as a sacrarium, or a Roman sanctuary "devoted to ritual activities and the storage of sacred objects," experts said.

This is something I didn’t know
For people that travel overseas often make sure you have blank pages….

It's a pretty solid hack, but we have a few ideas that we think are even better.

Try to travel, otherwise
you may become racist,
and you may end up believing
that your skin is the only one
to be right,
that your language
is the most romantic
and that you were the first
to be the first.
Travel,
because if you don't travel then
your thoughts won’t be strengthened,
won’t get filled with ideas.
Your dreams will be born with fragile legs and then you end up believing in tv-shows, and in those who invent enemies
that fit perfectly with your nightmares
to make you live in terror.
Travel,
because travel teaches
to say good morning to everyone
regardless of which sun we come from.
Travel,
because travel teaches
to say goodnight to everyone
regardless of the darkness
that we carry inside
Travel,
because traveling teaches to resist,
not to depend,
to accept others, not just for who they are
but also for what they can never be.
To know what we are capable of,
to feel part of a family
beyond borders,
beyond traditions and culture.
Traveling teaches us to be beyond.
Travel,
otherwise you end up believing
that you are made only for a panorama
and instead inside you
there are wonderful landscapes
still to visit.
