Here are the countries I’ve visited, in chronical order. Have you visited one of them? Feel free to drop a comment.
U.S.A
Ovid, a small town in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. It’s located between Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake, in Seneca County. Ovid is known for its scenic views, proximity to wineries, and a quaint historic downtown area. I also enjoyed mount Washington in New Hampshire, Boston city in Massachusetts and more.
Canada
Well I actually didn’t spend much time in Canada, but I did visit the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls. What have I missed? Let me know.
Italy
My visit to Italy wasn’t planed at first, I just wanted to visit the DUCATI motorcycle factory in Bologna. I did visit the factory and then I took a train to Rome, where I stayed a few days. Back in those days I used to experiment with my camera (real film, not digital), black and white as well, in the photo, an Italian living statue, in Rome.
Jordan
One of the most famous places to eat hummus in Amman is Hashem Restaurant, located in the heart of downtown. Known for its simple setting and consistently excellent food, Hashem has become a legendary spot in Jordan. It’s especially famous for its hummus, falafel, and ful, all served fresh with mint tea. Over the years, it has attracted locals, tourists, and even royalty—there are well-known stories that King Abdullah II himself has dined there, sometimes without prior notice. Despite its humble appearance, Hashem remains a beloved institution and a must-visit for anyone wanting a true taste of Jordanian street food culture.
Turkey
Turkey is a huge country, it has great food, great deserts, very esthetic shops. Istanbul is a busy city, for sightseeing, shopping. I have been to Fethiye, a stunning coastal town in southwestern Turkey, located in the Muğla Province, along the Turkish Riviera (also known as the Turquoise Coast). It’s known for its natural beauty, crystal-clear waters, ancient ruins, and relaxed vibe.
Germany
The Trachten- und Schützenzug, the Traditional Costume and Riflemen’s Parade, which takes place during Oktoberfest in Munich. It’s held on the first Sunday of Oktoberfest, and it’s one of the highlights of the festival. Thousands of participants—many in traditional Bavarian, regional German, or even international folk costumes—march through the city accompanied by music bands, historic riflemen, and horse-drawn carriages.
Ireland
I visited Ireland quite a few years ago, I was at a conference in Killarney town, we continued our trip by driving to the Mohar cliffs, but before we stopped at the Doolin Cave, which is famous for having one of the longest free-hanging stalactites in the world, so deep, it has an elevator that takes visitors down inside. It’s a popular stop on the way toward the Cliffs of Moher from Killarney. We slept in Vaughan Lodge Hotel (great!!!), Lahinch, a tiny town or so it felt. I took the car at night, looking for a nice place to drink a beer, found a few nice places. What I remember most from Ireland is how lovely and green the country is. In the photo, me and my son are horse riding, a few k”m from Killarney. The horses names were Goldie and Rosey.
U.K.
I must say that with all the hype from London, it was too busy for me, too crowded, all the classic attractions were accompanied by long queues. But as soon as we took the rented car to the country side that’s where the fun began, we visited Canterbury (Little did I know that a few of my favorite bands later in life, formed there), Bath, Stonehenge and more..
Denmark
What can I say, I really loved Denmark, the weather was chill (July), the country is wide and big, very clean and neat, everything seems to be organized, even forests. People are super friendly, transportation is a delight, lots of bicycles and bicycle lanes. We stayed at several towns, started in Copenhagen and then toured the country. The wave buildings are in a town named Vejle, and if you’re there, you must visit the nearby deer park (Search “Deer Park Vejle Dyrehaven”), 5 minute drive from there.
Greece
Greece is like a big calm machine, the moment I set foot on it, things go in a different pace. The first thing I noticed about Athens are the graffiti, it’s almost everywhere, some is really impressive work. After Athens we headed for Pelion (Greek: Πήλιο), a beautiful mountainous region in central Greece, located in the Magnesia regional unit of Thessaly. It’s famous for combining lush green mountains with stunning coastline along the Aegean Sea. What I liked about Greece is its simplicity, slow pace and one of the best cuisines imo. When I was much younger I visited the Islands: Mikonos, Santorini and Koss.
