a day by the lake

a foggy arrival, a lakeside lunch, a hidden pasageway to the sea, watching children play as they climb onto a rock, a boat left to enjoy the lapping of the waves onto the shore, two hundred steps to a secret beach where we skim pebbles across the mirror-like lake. a sun-drenched hotel, a golden hour walk catching glimpses across the water, a cypress-lined odyssey, overhearing conversations while watching the sun set, lying on a dock as it bobs with the waves, watching the ducks as the sun paints the sky red before sinking beneath the mountains.

nel sud

the approach of summer called for one final trip down south; a week-long adventure with just one small backpack, travelling from place to place & meeting friends along the way. the goal was simple: eat as much good food as possible, soak up plenty of sun & sea, and appreciate every second of italian summer.

southern italy is a fantasy in which beach carnival meets ancient ruins. hot-tempered motorists zip through the same streets where children play. i kept expecting the vessuvio to blow at any second, bursting in the loud heat , covering the whole region in san marzano tomato sauce.

train rides across northern italy

via lecco, 22, appartamento 2
catching the last metro home, tram parties, eating pizza on the floor while drinking wine, cremino ice cream at navigli, learning how to ride a bike while tipsy, 5pm spritz aperitivo, lying on the grass in the sun in sempione, eating chocolate doughnuts in the lidl parking lot with my favourite people, cutting my hair short, the sound of a trumpet & children playing streaming in through the open window.
