Viewing Animals in the Wild: Lessons Learned and Never Forgotten

I had never seen an African elephant in the wild like this. He was not put here for a show and I was not protected by a safari truck. The grass through which he walked was the same grass I felt on my calves. The bugs the bird ate off his back were the same as the ones flying about my head. For such a large creature, he was silent, except for the sound the reeds made as he snapped them with his trunk.

Welcome to Chicago, One of the Most Beautiful Cities in the U.S.

My Encounters with Terrorism while Teaching in Sri Lanka

One Saturday a student came to visit me where I was staying…. It was strange that this boy… who seemed the stereotype of an adolescent boy, was the son of essentially, a terrorist. He explained that one day he would grow up and take over his father’s legacy with an innocence that one might talk about taking over his father’s hardware store. He wanted nothing more than to make his father proud.

A Trip to the South-East of Italy: to the Discovery Ragusa and its Province

This is not stereotypical Sicily. This is the “babba” Sicily, the “simpleton’s” Sicily that tills the land and values local products. It’s the Sicily of the Baroque period, the Modica chocolate, the Detective Montalbano and the pristine beaches.

Libano, terra dai mille volti. Scatti da un viaggio insolito e indimenticabile

«Lo sguardo spazia oltre le mura, fino ai ciuffi verdi dei pioppi dai tronchi bianchi; oltre ancora, al Libano scintillante in lontananza di toni violacei, azzurri, oro e rosa. E poi scende seguendo le montagne fino al vuoto: il deserto, solitario mare di pietra. Bevi l’aria vibrante. Accarezza la pietra con mano delicata. Da’ il tuo addio all’Occidente, quindi volgiti a Oriente, turista». Robert Byron, La via per l’Oxiana

Alla scoperta di Palazzo Mansi a Lucca, tra arte, storia e leggenda

Non c’è nulla di ostentato, nulla di palese, nulla di facilmente intuibile, all’esterno, al di fuori. Palazzo Mansi è una vera chicca eccelsa, da scoprire, da percorrere passo a passo - in punta di piedi - con la consapevolezza vivida di trovarsi in un sogno ad occhi aperti. I Mansi non erano lucchesi, affatto. La loro origine era lontana: germanica, tant’è che il loro cognome originario era “Mainz” derivante dalla città tedesca d’origine

Olives and Grapes: Traveling along Italy’s East Coast

Our travels this summer and early fall took us from the north to the south of Italy. Up and down the whole of the country, the landscape abounds with olives and grapes. Different varieties, different growing methods, with Emilia Romagna's abundant fruit in the middle, it binds the country.

Visiting Rural Ethiopia: How to Enjoy the Thrill and Still Be a Responsible Tourist

The idea that as a tourist I am able to walk into a small village in Africa and get the locals to do what I want them to do by offering money is a dangerous stepping stone. If history has taught us anything, it is that white westerners with money can, and will, get the rest of the world to do just about anything to everyone
