Turning 30 in Amsterdam

My "sister" Erika gave me this present for my birthday: 

a luna park. 

Actually, the biggest luna park: Amsterdam. 

I really enjoyed it, and I have no words to thank Erika, and Mery's gang, to take me around, and make me feel a teenager when I was just turning 30. 
Maybe more classy than a teenager.

#BIT2013: things I felt in love with

It's been a while since I wrote here on my blog... 
I've sent a 2013 E-Card to most of you, but for those that didn't get it, 
you can find it here. 

As you can see, I finished the year in a not so conventional way. 
In fact, the general attitude right now is to be content with what you have, and to try to survive this big financial crisis. 
I don't believe so, and even if I understand and see the clouds over Europe, 
I like when I hear the louder, optimistic voices over the general complaints. 
This happened for me in #BIT2013 (International Tourism Exchange). 

Best things of this year’s BIT: 
3rd Place - Puglia: from communication to "experiencing the homemade pasta", from Carlo of Puglia Events to the hotspot for charging your phones... Puglia had the best vibes! 

2nd Place - People I had crushes on: online relationships and communities HAVE TO BE SUPPORTED offline. That's the crush that you can have, and the strong connections you can create. Personally, I had a crush on a few travel bloggers: 
Infoturismiamoci
Nonsoloturisti
Viaggiaredasoli 
Viaggiovero
Flaneriefeminine 

1st Place - my favourite moment wasn't within the Facebook/Google speeches, but the Benigni video at the beginning of "Travel Storytelling Opportunities". 
So, as this is very Bella-style, here’s that video with subtitles. 

Thank you Alessio Carciofi for sharing it with us. For Italian readers, the video showed was this:

Il Fontanaro organic farm house for #BellaToscana

Bella Toscana is arriving in Tuscany. 

We are just on the border

the owners, 

you'll get the best of a 

real organic farm house lifestyle.

Do you want to spy Rome from the keyhole? #BellaToscana

Arrivati (once arrived) 

in Rome, 

what's the best B side option of the 

eternal 

most beautiful 

city in the world? 

To spy it from keyhole! 

"This famous view of Rome is seen through the keyhole at the end of Piazza dei Caveliere di Malta, Aventino."

To describe the strong feeling of people 

for this city, 

I want to use this caption, 'cause it says 

in Roman slang 

"Rome, you'll be eternal inside me"
