Good Enough

This month’s IndieWeb Carnival topic, "Good enough", is very, very interesting, and I feel like I could write an entire series based on this simple prompt. But since I’m traveling, I’ll try to take it easy and "only" write a two-part post. I hope it will be good enough, hehe. Life isn’t good enough Enshittification…

Zagreb, Croatia

Going to Zagreb The train from Bled to Zagreb, by way of Ljubljana, is extremely slow. It’s also incredibly beautiful (you might be sick of me calling everything beautiful, but it’s not my fault, everything really is!!). The railway follows a perfectly turquoise river for a solid hour. At one point, the last stop before…

Slovenian lakes

Arrival The Lesce-Bled train station has two quays and you go to the second quay by walking over the first one, which is something I hadn’t seen in a decade and a half. I love it. The walk to the hostel is short, if you don’t get lost. My walk to the hostel includes a…

Ljubljana, Slovenia

As I arrive, exhausted and dehydrated, in Ljubljana, I expect to have the worst possible time going to the train station. Instead, I stroll to the hotel in a 5-minute walk and the first thing that really hits me is the smell – at this hour, without any cars and in empty streets, Ljubljana smells…

Trieste, Italy

Day 1 It’s Trieste time!! When I arrive, my first feeling is one of anxiety. There’s something about the (gorgeous) neoclassical architecture that just isn’t working for me, and I dont know what it is. Until, after a few hours, I understand my issue: Trieste is tiny Vienna. Nothing against Vienna – in fact, I…

Venice, Italy

From Bologna to Venezia The landscape on the train is lovely, with many bright colored houses. I would definitely stop and spend part of the day in Padova if my leg allowed for it, since my train stops there for a few minutes. Unfortunately I know it will ruin the rest of the day, so…

Bologna, Italy

In my last post, I left you a few minutes before being given a snack and then being fined 10 euros for having taken the wrong train? That is: I got the train that left from quay 2 at 1.50pm for Bologna instead of the train that left from quay 2 at 2pm for Bologna.…

Turin, Italy

Day 1: strolling around I am delighted to announce that the first thing that happened when I got out of the hostel this morning was running into a woman on a bike, telling her friend: « ma la pasta era buona! » (« but the pasta was good! »). I’m in Italy alright! I like Torino, I really do…

Grenoble to Torino

Because all trips have to start somewhere. I left home at 3.30pm, ready to take the first few trains: one to Chambéry, then a whole adventure ending in Torino a bit before 10pm. (Good thing summer time started today, or I’d be exhausted.) This first journey is the biggest hassle I’ll have of the entire…

March 2024 in review / Récap de mars 2024

Cerisier en fleurs au crépuscule.

I turn 30 years old today, and I am happy. This past month has been mostly about wrapping up everything before disappearing going on holidays for a month (and a half in the case of my day job). I finally feel ready for my trip − and my leg has healed enough that hopefully it…
