I grew up in a housing estate Back then, when I went on vacation, I loved to look at postcards of the places I visited.

I liked to choose carefully which ones to send to friends and grandparents, or to keep for myself as a souvenir. Once the vacations were over, my family and…
Edinburgh, a metaphysical site In August, in Edinburgh, chance can grant us a dual experience: festivals take place in the centre, creating a very joyful atmosphere (in particular, the fringe festival encourages actors and authors, especially the young, to promote their work in the streets of the centre, while street performers exhibit a few metres away); however, if the sun is shining, a walk in Holyrood Park, climbing up to…
