The organisation W.W.O.O.F. ( World Wild Opportunities Organic Farming) was born in the 70's in England, with the aim to spread and share information and resources on sustainable living. I've been a member of  W.W.O.O.F. for almost 7 years: with more and more people travelling all over the world, I believe it's more important than ever to spread the word about W.W.O.O.F. and give people an opportunity to le ...

A city break can be a great way to spend a long weekend in Europe. The more popular major cities are often crowded with tourist traffic, and are so well known as to be clichéd. However, Europe sports some less-well-known but equally attractive and beautiful cities and cheap flights to them make a city break to Europe a very affordable option. Scotland’s city of Glasgow has magnificent classical and contempo ...

Genoa is a city waiting to be discovered, step-by-step, piazza-by-piazza. It’s a city rich in culture and history and its gastronomic tradition is one of the best in Italy. After a short break at the hotel, with Michele and Sara (fellow bloggers) we meet Chiara, our travel guide and companion for the next two days.

The Food -  a collection of photos taken over two days spent in Genoa, Italy, for the Blog Tour #Q4T 2012.

This is Aury's  first contribution to Thinking Nomads. We thought it would be a great idea if she wrote about the country she fell in love with, a country she says would be the only place she would consider living in, if she ever left Italy! I've been to Scotland twice two years in a row, curious to both get to know and explore the country famous for its lochs (lakes in Gaelic) as well as its heather covere ...

We leave the tranquility of Battambang in Cambodia for the touristy Siem Reap. Coming from the suburbs into town, it soon becomes clear that not only penniless backpackers or travelers come to these part of the world: 5 star hotels and resorts line the streets, with spas and everything you need for a perfect all-inclusive holiday. Fortunately, there are low-budget accommodation as well, where you can find a ...
