Visit Italy


Visit Italy: Campo Bandiera e Moro Square, Venice.
Italy is definitely a country I’d like to see more of. In fact, growing up, I always imagined one of my first great travel adventures would be a cross-country tour around the Stivale.
Somehow, I never got round to it, though I once came very close to accepting an English teaching position in the port city of Brindisi. But fate had other ideas, you see, thus I ended up turning the school down and moving to Belgium instead.
Some years later, in January 2008, I finally paid a visit to Europe’s old boot with a long weekend in Venice. The city was every bit as charming and romantic as I had anticipated. Thus I had a fantastic time touring its squares, canals, museums and pizzerias.

Moreover, I put aside half a day for a jaunt to the fascinating Burano Island. Situated in the lagoon of Venice, it is famed for its lacemaking and Venetian mask production. And of course for its gorgeous colourful houses.
