Traveling is...

"Traveling is walking towards the horizon, meeting the other, getting to know, discovering and returning richer than when the journey started." (Luis Sepúlveda)

Traveling is an experience that marks our life, visiting unexplored places, getting to know a new culture, meeting people, learning different lifestyles, savoring new tastes, discovering traditions. Immerse yourself for a few days in an atmosphere that does not belong to us but that we want to make our own, to smell and breathe all the way. Immerse yourself in the discovery of a new sense of self to feel that the different is life experience that changes you inside.

Curiosity and the desire for knowledge push you to travel, and for a few days the explorer in us emerges in all its splendor, destined to enrich himself in the mind and heart.

If the traveler is an explorer looking for precious treasures, who is the innkeeper?

It is difficult to define who gives hospitality without using a foreign term. I prefer innkeeper to me it seems more poetic and at the same time inherent in that wonderful role of "guru", of the one who guides the foreigner to discover the wonders of his own territory.

The innkeeper is lucky, he is the one who hosts the world!

I am lucky because the world comes to me! This does not mean seeing people from all nations, but knowing different, attentive, curious, indifferent, angry, friendly people, the most diverse personalities meet for a moment and touch my life in a continuous coming and going that marks the heart and the mind.

There are the faces that pass and hearts that I will always remember! There are those who want to know and who know everything because their world is his and no intruder can be part of it.

But the explorer and the innkeeper know that, walking towards the horizon, means being ready to change, to acquire a new perspective on yourself and the world. And their Journey is forever ..
