Non è il foglio che stringono tra le mani.È tutto quello che è successo prima.Le lezioni, le risate, le amicizie, le sfide superate e i piccoli traguardi raggiunti giorno dopo giorno.Ogni diploma consegnato alla Piccola Università Italiana conclude un corso.Ma raramente conclude una storia. ❤️
La cucina è uno dei modi più belli per conoscere un Paese.Perché ogni ingrediente racconta una storia e ogni piatto porta tutti alla stessa tavola. ✨
The New York Times calls it “The Divine Allure”.Noi la chiamiamo casa. 💙La Costa degli Dei è fatta di mare che cambia colore durante il giorno, vicoli pieni di vita, tramonti che fanno fermare le persone per strada e tradizioni che qui fanno ancora parte della quotidianità.Tropea è uno di quei posti che si vengono a conoscere e si finiscono per portare via con sé.E questa volta a raccontarlo non siamo solo noi. 🌊
Non tutte le lezioni alla Piccola Universita' hanno bisogno di una lavagna.Questa mattina sono bastati la spiaggia, il mare e qualche tappetino.Yoga day. 🌊
