Patioanate Traveler & Photographer

This space is about sharing my passions. I love to travel and discover new horizons. I love to capture the light that is surrounding me, to steal all those moments that only happen once. I love to eat and to cook, to taste new flavours, to try local food and go to restaurants. This blog is about sharing all what I like. I hope you will enjoy :)
