~heart on her lips, and soul within her eyes, / soft as her clime, and sunny as her skies~ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ There's nothing quite like finding words that speak to you, that make you feel seen and seem to talk about you. This quote is from Lord Byron's Italy, where he describes why he loves the country and its women. I always say I'm not the typical Italian, but clearly Byron knew more about Italian women than I do. #italiana

~summer lover, sunset chaser~ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ I love travelling on my own. It has been the greatest discovery about myself: I don’t need to wait for anyone to come with me in order to get out of the door and start exploring what’s there. ✨ But solo travelling can be a lonely business, at times. It forces you to make peace with your thoughts, be in alert mode all the time, and also learn self timer photography. ✨ But travelling alone also opens new doors, and makes meeting new people so much easier. And sometimes, you’re lucky enough to find a person who can take a lovely picture of you in front of a stunning Istanbul sunset. 🌅 #sunsetview #sunset_hunter

~tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?~ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ Every day I hear the ticking clock. It’s a sound of the heart that reminds me every step of the way that time is flying - and I should not stop flying either. If I did, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. I might have one of the worst cases of restless feet - and restless hearts. The world is too big of a place to settle down. #restlesssoul #istanbul

~maybe Istanbul was the city in the sky~ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ I write a lot when I’m travelling, sometimes it’s work, most of the time it’s just me. But how to get inspired? I always look for the flavour of the place in novels and travel books, but sometimes a quick read of quotes can go a long way. ✨ Caption and picture were inspired by this quote: “Maybe Istanbul was the city in the sky where the people who were our reflections lived.” (Burhan Sönmez) ✨ #travelwriting

~don’t let the princess look fool you~ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ Sugar, spice and everything nice? More like sarcasm, wine and everything’s fine. Ph 📷 @emmazanichelli #princesslook #londonwisteria
