Casa means home in Italian (Part 2)

22:55:00

Ciao di nuovo amores!

As promised, here we go for post number 2 about my travel to Milan! 


Ostello Bello, the best Milanese hostel:



As we are young, my friends and I wanted to stay in a comfy place with a relaxed atmosphere but still cool and elegant so nothing is better than a hostel.


Ostello Bello is the best hostel in Milan. 
And I don't say this for the sake of it! 
They actually have won lots of prizes and if you look for them on sites like Tripadvisor, you'll see that every single review is a positive one.





So yes, Ostello Bello was our choice and we regret nothing! 
First of all: The staff is lovely. 
Seriously, everyone is so nice! They are always ready to help you, with a smile on their faces, no matter what you need. 

They are very funny too! 
Another thing about the hostel is that every morning they'll write down some advice about what to do in Milan during the day, which is pretty useful!

It is very central, which means it's close to some of Milans most important places. 
Its like 10 minutes away from Duomo! 
And most important, it's located in a very calm street. At least, I never felt insecure while staying there.


What I liked the most about OB is that it's like a meeting place for Milanese (Milan inhabitants)
At the end of the day, you can meet lots of people there who come for the Aperativo and stay around enjoying the atmosphere!



Ostello Bello is more than a hostel.
They make you feel at home. 
("Your home in our town ." is their slogan actually!)


This was our room! Pretty nice, huh?




Miei amores, if you ever travel to Milan, stay in OB. I promise it will make you fall even more for this city!

Love,
Raquel



P.S: A very massive THANK YOU to the staff for their friendliness! I hope to be back soon!
 And congrats on your new hostel in Myanmar (Burma). Wish you the best!
  
 P.S.2: Please notice that some photos were googled

Amore means love in Italian (Part 1)

18:45:00

Ciao amores!

I'm in love.
Yes, I am in love.

Let me tell you how and why this happened!

So... 2 weeks ago, I flew with 5 friends of mine to spend 5 amazing days in one of the most known Fashion Capitals...

Milan

and I fell in love... with the city.

Milan is a wonderful city. I can guarantee you!

It might not be the most touristic city in Italy but  there's still a lot to see.
Duomo di Milano, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Cimitero Monumentale, Sforzesco Castle are some of the places you can visit while in there.



The weather was great during our stay.
We were actually expecting rainy days but we were blessed with a sunny week. (We deserve it ok? It was raining back at home when we left!)

We took the opportunity to travel because we found a very cheap flight on EasyJet so we were like... Why not?!
(I must say I had a very good experience with them so I'll be travelling with them again for sure.)



Italians are very friendly people, their food is delicious  and the weather... The weather is just great and I know if you go to South it just gets better!


And since an image is worth a thousand words here you have some photos!















 Part number two will be published tomorrow so... don't miss it!

Con tanto amore,
Raquel


    

The 21 days challenge

23:08:00

Mes amours, mes amours,


it's 1st of March and it sounds like the perfect time to start my next "project"!

I've been ready to let you know about this for 3 weeks but there were too much things going on and, me being me, I lost control. 
But here I am, back again to let you know what has been happening.

March starts with a challenge for me. The 21 days challenge. 





Apparently it takes us 21 days to make or break a habit so why not?

In my case this challenge consists in leaving all my bad habits behind and start a healthier life (I told you about this here.)


(By bad habits I don't only mean eating habits but also letting toxic people 
be around me making me feel not good enough!)

As I have told you already, I want 2015 to be the year of my personal evolution. 
I'm doing my best to make a better me appear! 

Promise I'll do my best to share every single change with you. 

With love,
Raquel
