My beloved Sydney where I used to live!

Here are some of the things I think are cool to do in my home town.

The Venissa estate is an ancient walled vineyard restored by the Bisol family that dominates the Island of Mazzorbo and gives its name to the restaurant/ostello structure that is managed by the renowned Bellunese chef Paola Budel.
The Venissa estate also plays host to vegetable gardens, orchards and a fish farm which emphasize the enogastronomic culture of the Lagoon. In this authentic natural environment and agricultural park - created within the territory of the Lagoon Park institution and owned by the Municipality of Venice - it is possible to stay in any of the six welcoming rooms that overlook the lagoon and the estate.

Averaging 300 days of sunshine a year, the Poudre river, dogs, geese, deer, bikes, and of course beer… Fort Collins Colorado is my home town and is the second largest producer of beer in Colorado and the state is ranked first in the country in volume produced by breweries. Hop on your trusty cruiser bike and take the tour.

Namaskara! Welcome to Bangalore, and Bon Appetit! =D

Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) is the world's largest exporter of high quality tea.

My family has been vacationing in Charleston for many years. There is so much history, good food, beautiful architecture... and the beach! It would be nearly impossible to map ALL the places that are special to me, but this map showcases some of my favorites.

This is how I saw my city in 2012 :-) Happy to live here.

Do as the locals do in Manila, Philippines!

the ocean. the balconies. the flowers. the night. the river. the boats. the breakfasts. the winter drizzle. the sun. the painted doors. the tiles. the lovely Porto.

Here is a little guide to some of the most beautiful cafés in the Boulevard Saint-Germain. They are my favorite places to go in Paris and I recommend each and everyone of them.
