Travelling

As I wrote in my first post, travelling is another of my great passions. The map above, taken from my Virtual Tourist (shortly referred to as "VT") page, shows the countries I have been to, so far. I know they are not well recognizable, so I'll write the list:

- Austria

- Croatia

- France

- Germany

- Greece

- Ireland

- Italy

- Luxembourg

- Poland

- Portugal

- San Marino

- Slovenia

- Spain

- Switzerland

- United Kingdom

This list includes places where I've spent just few hours (Luxembourg, San Marino and Portugal) and where, therefore, I must go again. To know more about the locations I have visited, see my page (link on the left side of this webpage).

European countries I still have to visit:

- Albania

- Andorra

- Armenia

- Belarus

- Belgium

- Bosnia and Herzegovina

- Bulgaria

- Cyprus

- Czechia (I don't like calling it "Czech Republic")

- Denmark

- Estonia

- Finland

- Georgia

- Hungary (only until 25th October, when I'll go to Budapest!)

- Iceland

- Latvia

- Liechtenstein

- Lithuania

- Macedonia (I don't call it FYROM)

- Malta

- Moldova

- Monaco

- Montenegro

- Netherlands

- Norway

- Romania

- Russia (the whole country)

- Serbia

- Slovakia

- Sweden

- Turkey

- Ukraine

- Vatican city

I want to make it clear that I consider as European countries all the states that are members of the Council of Europe, which includes the Caucasian Republic, Russia and Turkey. I also consider Israel as European, although it is located in Asia.

Other countries I may visit:

- Australia

- Canada

- Egypt

- Latin America

- New Zealand - ...

Bye,

Languages

I am really crazy about languages, European languages. Many people think I'm joking when I say I would like to learn all the official European languages, but I am not. At present, I can speak and write Italian, French, English, German and Spanish; I speak the dialect of my region, Veneto; I can read and write some Polish, Romanian, Slovene, Czech; I have studied Finnish and modern Greek but I must revise them completely. Moreover, I can translate from Latin (very well) and from ancient Greek (with some difficulties). I have taken the decision to keep a different blog for every language I can write. Let's see if I have the time and feel like writing in all of them! Michele

Hello!

Welcome to the blog of a European, Europhile or Europe-lover! My name is Michele, I'm a 23-year-old guy from Italia and I love the European countries, cultures, languages, and more. I have already visited many European states but wish to visit all of them. I love learning languages. I know quite a lot of them but wish to learn all the official languages of Europe. I am considering writing in many languages in this blog, I'll see... Bye for now, Michele
