Sometime in 2020, a friend of mine had the crazy idea of walking 50 km to raise money for cancer research in memory of a friend of hers that had passed away from Leukemia the previous year. I decided to join her in honor of all those who had been affected by it. The list … Continue reading Appia Antica
“Girls....this place is paradise.” This is what I wrote to my sister and best friend the first time I went to Salento, which is the province of Lecce in the southern tip of Apulia, back in the summer of 2015.
