No Carbs!

My friend and flatmate has decided to do a no-carbs 3 days marathon starting tomorrow. Being such a great friend (modest, modest), I have decided to help her conquer the next three days by joining her marathon myself. 


It's gonna be great!

Home Kong

As some of you might know, I lived in Hong Kong before. I was fascinated with it since I arrived back in February 2012 and I grew to consider it my home until I left in May. Over the summer I just couldn't help but wonder about moving back to Hong Kong for good. In the past seven years I lived in so many different countries, but I have never felt so at home as in Hong Kong.
Therefore I just took the plunge and moved back with a friend of mine.


We are settling in our shared room and celebrating by enjoying the great variety of food that Hong Kong offers.



Coconut smoothie at Shek O
Japanese food is so good and CHEAP here!
Green tea!!


 If you need a pick-me-up, but you don't want to feel guilty about indulging in XXX calories, I recommend sharing your dessert with friends ;)
 And then go for an amazing hike!



Love life boys and girls!

Summer Summary

Due to my intense summer schedule I haven't posted anything in a while. So here is the summary of the past three months:

I was first in Amsterdam to hand in my thesis and celebrate the moment with my friends 



Great brunch at Le Pain Quotidien


I was lucky enough to stay at my friend's loft in Antwerp, she also graduated so we celebrated with pimms




In July I spend almost two weeks in Russia visiting both Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Such a great Country to travel to!
I was so glad that my friend speaks a bit of the language thou, cause in Moscow it is not easy to get around otherwise...










In a bar ;)



Who else is obsessed with Anastasia mysterious story?


I am typically a seaside person, especially in summer, my vacation place of choice is by the beach. Mountain and cities I would put aside for winter holidays... However I am so glad my friend convinced me to visit St. Petersburg in July. It is honestly the perfect time. Weather was so great that we even got to go to the beach!




Beer size in Russia ;)

Crazy things happen in St. Petersburg...


After Russia it was finally time to go home, back to Italy to see my family and friends.
Home sweet home!


Villa Olmo
Of course one thing I absolutely love about Italy is the food. It's the food I grew up with and the food that makes me feel the healthiest. Esselunga Superstore is hands down the best supermarket in my area, that's why when I go there with my mum we stock up big time!

Best salad ever!


Gratin tomato and broccoli with parmesan cheese by my great friend who always loves to experiment with new recipes. 

She also makes amazing scones and "geographical biscuit"

Since she came to visit me, we thought it would be nice to organize a BBQ for her to meet my Italian friends






My last Italian brunch


 Lastly, my summer concluded with a family vacation in Turkey. We went to Antalya which of course is amazing.






I simply cannot live without summer
Love life boys and girls!
