I'm Gioconda from Italy.

I just started travelling again after four years, and this is going to be a long-term trip from Italy to Balkan countries,  then Turkey,  Iran, Caucasus area and central Asia.

I'm extremely curious to discover what I don't know yet.

When I travel I feel totally myself and open up to the outside world. I find joy in small things like having a chat with someone, admiring a sunset over the sea, watching children playing, learning to cook new dishes, dancing with a stranger.
Smiles and kindness are contagious and free, so let's practice!
I couldn't live without hugs, cats, and chocolate.
