In Milan we are well into the the third week of lockdown due to the Corona Virus pandemic that is ravaging the world. We are all still for the first time in our lives, unable to move out of our village, town or neighbourhood if we live in a city. Travel is not even an option and more than ever before, we are left to our own devices to fill our days, to try to get on with work and life.

There is so much we cannot do right now. But one thing we can always do and it’s free of charge and no pandemic or war will ever be able to steal it from us. I am referring to our ability to dream and imagine, envision the future and explore possibilities.

So that’s exactly what I hope you will be able to do while I’ll take you around with me, in my imagination’s journeys, while I dig through my photo archive and remember travel and people I have met, moments I treasure, beauty I have seen, and dreams I have dreamt. I hope we can make this into a feature to keep us company during these dark and worrisome days.

With no further ado, we are ready to leave!
