Learning another language

I am a lover of languages and that’s no secret to some. It’s imperative, for me, to know a bit of a language before traveling anywhere. This explains part of why I kept returning to France and Morocco; a big part was to maintain my French. Sure, I could have continued listening to French music and reading the books. But this doesn’t necessarily force anyone to speak a language. And there’s no better way to implant a memory than interaction with others. Before my second trip to Italy, I had bought some books to learn, at least, the basics of…

Don’t know what to pack?

I leave in two days and still haven’t packed. Actually, I don’t know what to pack. What clothes should I take for Rome? Times like these I look back to old fashioned icons. For me, Elizabeth Taylor’s summer style could be great for Rome. Or maybe the South of Italy. She screams Italy to me. I’m thinking straw hat, one piece bathing suit and dresses. Maybe one pair of jeans. Taylor rarely wore jeans so more dresses than anything. The one piece bathing suit will come in handy in case there’s a pool nearby. It’ll also double up as a…

What I loved most about it was that it has a strap that allows it to slide onto your luggage handle. 1. Loewe cashmere mini dress 2. Louis Vuitton desk agenda 3. July…

Ciao Italy

It almost feels destined that I’m going to Italy again. I’m not sure what’s written in the stars but I just went to Italy last August and going again in June. The only difference is I’ll be going to Rome now. Last August, I visited Naples and some of the surrounding islands, Procida and Capri. Then we went up to Milan from there for one night. It was an amazing experience to see Naples. The only thing I would change is the time spent there. I would want to stay longer so I can explore the islands at night. We…

Walnut Filled Banana Bread

It’s been a while since I tried a recipe and posted it on the site. There’s a certain nostalgia tied to trying a recipe, enjoying it and sharing it with others. This is a simple one. Walnut filled banana bread is a quick and fulfilling recipe for anyone. Banana bread can be enjoyed any time throughout the day. My favorite time is to have it in the morning with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and some butter spread on it. This is the perfect breakfast. After that, I store the rest away for the next day or for a…
