A dedicated traveller

by Manara - last update: Jul 23, 2008

Places I have been to in the last twelve months
I travel quite often for work and sometimes I use for my holidays the knowledge I have got on business trips. If you are curious about my job, I work for an international medical association, and most of my time is devoted to planning and organising its large congresses, that are held in a different country every year. That's how I happen to know so many hotels.

With time I have become tired of packing and unpacking too often, so I now prefer holidays in which I stay in a place and make one-day trips in the region.
I am also a bit tired of hotels. They are great for a short stay, but for a longer holiday (one week or more) the privacy and the larger space of an apartment or a cottage is much better. For this reason I am a happy share-holder in a big, well established company of shared properties, so from 1999 until now I have spent holidays in "my" apartments in Munich, Amsterdam, Vienna, London, the Alps (Swiss and Austrian), and by Lake Maggiore. It is essential, of course, to have a travel companion who is willing to share equally the house chores, but I am lucky with this regard.

I am not photogenic, so I never liked being in front of a camera. This means I do not have many recent pictures of me. The one I have posted here was taken in 2006.

More about me

Some people say that the contents of a woman's bag can tell a lot about her personality. I am not sure, but I don't have a problem with disclosing the contents of my bag to you, in case it helps you to know me better.
For your information: I don't always carry an umbrella and sunglasses, but the weather was very changeable when I emptied my bag for you.

 Hi Anna Maria, thanks for your ratings and very flattering comment on my Busseto page. Do people from Parma ever go to Busseto, or is it too close by?
