Nature
The Castle in the Woods – Parco Aymerich in Laconi
An enchanted forest, a zen den and a medieval castle. Magical plants and maybe even a princess and a dragon. Parco Aymerich is a park with more treasures than what is given away from the outside When you enter the park it is like stepping into a different world. Away from the hustle and bustle…
Caprera Island & Punta Rossa by bike
Mountain biking (MTB) on Caprera island. A day with sweaty lunch next to crystal clear water, a real ship wreck and Fascist regime writing on the wall.

The village of Nebida – love at first sight
The little village of Nebida nestled on the hillside between the sea and the mountains is one of my favourite places in this area. At the heart of the village is another favourite, the bar/cafè/pizzeria Oasi. Not much to look at from the outside, a sign over the door saying ‘Oasi’ on it and 3…
Shepherds and the love of Fiat Panda
An Unexpected Encounter While Roaming Monte San Giorgio On the hills Mountain biking in the Sardinian hills is a peaceful adventure, all you can hear is the wind and the birds chirping.

Mussolini, Arborea and Happy Cows
can I thank Mussolini for my creamy yogurt? Discovering Arborea As a newbie in a foreign country, it takes some trial of different food items before you find your favourites.
