I would like to go with my parents and grandparents. I would love to visit his birth house, museums, churches and monuments etc. As for the foods I'd like to taste: boiled lobster with parsley and other spices. the Garbure, a soup of vegetables, cannellini beans and ham and the Touradisse, a bit similar to our polenta, is very good. I would like to go especially during the period in which we celebrate Our Lady of Lourdes,  on February 11th. I would also like to go and see the Pic du Jer funicular. Making this pilgrimage would be a wonderful thing because there are so many beautiful things to visit and then because it's nice to discover new cities.

A special pilgrimage not far from home but rich in natural landscapes. I'm going alone to capture all the essence and the spirituality of an experience like this. I also think that can be a way to understand myself better in union with nature. I will see the landscapes and try to catch all the little details that nature can teach me, like the slow change and evolution of things.
In this experience, I'd like to visit also the countries and the monuments of art in them. It is always a beautiful thing for my mind and my heart.

I would go with my girlfriend and my friends. I really love the way Athens (but Greece in general) is an union between a city and a natural place and i kinda feel as home there. I'd like to visit the Acropolis for the view from there, to visit the Temple and see ancient greek's art, then, maybe, after the long trip to get to that high place, we can go to the sea that is not so far, or maybe we could go to a restaurant and take something fresh there, i wouldn't go in Athens, or Greece in general, when it's too hot unless we'd like to boil under the sun, we'd better go in spring or autumn, maybe in those seasons the city is less full of turists too.]]> 2023-05-10 14:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2585647771 "Maria Plain" Chuch in Salzburg https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2585783097 I'd like to go on a pilgrimage to one of Salzburg's most beautiful churches. It's pretty far from the city centre, on one of the neighbouring Alpine hills, so it's very isolated. The buildings are surrounded by grass fields on all sides and the road to reach it from Salzburg is very wavy. 

The journey is long, so I'd like to go with my parents. I'd choose to go with them because it's also a very significant place for the three of us: there my parents first prayed for my birth, and about 4 years later I was born. So I think it's worth to be picked as a pilgrimage destination by me!

While we're on the coast of lake Garda, which always offers a spectacular natural view, heading towards Trento and then to the Tirol region, I'd have a chance to talk with my parents more, while also looking at the amazing landscapes that the Alps have created. Once in Austria, the mountains would start to become lower and lower as we get closer to the Salzkammergut region. The air is so clean there, I'd certainly purify my lungs completely! The sense of calm you feel in those places is unfathomable to whoever hasn't been there even once. The houses are prettier and cleaner, the food is incredible, everything is generally less noisy... in short, I'd have a blast! 
Praising Austra aside, this all contributes to the calming, almost soothing, effect that those regions have on me. 
I'd surely feel in close contact with nature and it's beauty, while being pleasantly surprised by every thing that I see.

When we arrive at the "Maria Plain" Church, my parents and I would surely go in together to pray and then sign the big book that's placed on a pedestal in the church. Everytime we went there, we had to do it, to thank whoever listened to my mum's prayers. By the way, the building's inside is really pretty and colourful, with intricate patterns, designs and decorations, compared to a typical church. It's really cool!
There, I'd feel a very strong sense of religiousness...

In conclusion, I'd live there if I could, no question about it; I think that not even a pilgrimage can stop me if we're talking about Salzburg! ]]> 2023-05-10 16:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2585783097 Paris https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2585830137
I'd like to visit Paris, especially Notre Dame, St Eustache and other magnificent churches, as I have a deep appreciation for architectural masterpieces. In addition to exploring the churches, I would also love to visit the music conservatory and meet talented organists. It would be a joy to go on this journey with my friends who share the same passion for art and music. During the trip, I anticipate feeling happy and inspired, immersing myself in the rich musical culture of the city. As a musician, I might also experience a sense of awe and admiration for the talented individuals I encounter along the way.

I will be alone during my journey because I will have the time to meditate and think about my life and my choises.
During my journey I feel one with nature, like I went back in time when people used to show how rich they were by creating these beautiful castles.

It's quite difficult to go to it, because is situated at 5117 meters above sea level.
The journey would be very long because I would have to travel from Italy to Pakistan and then I'd have to start my journey to the camp of the mountain. Very difficult, but the most beautiful thing of trekking is that when you're walking and also when you finished your journey is that you are too tired to be angry. 

I'd love to travel alone, because I would have time to reflect, write down my thoughts and cheer me up a bit. But I can't, because travel alone in mountain is too dangerous.

I think that I'll love the moment when I'll say "Hey guys, I'm at the base camp of the K2, I did it!". 

Yes, it will become a beautiful memory!]]> 2023-05-10 20:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2586038136 The pilgrimage of Santiago de Copstela https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2586075687 I would like to go to Spain to try to make the pilgrimage of Santiago de Copstela which is a path of about 800 kilometers that crosses Spain from east to west. 
I would like to face this journey alone to try to overcome myself and really understand myself, I wish it was a simple challenge with myself. It will be very difficult especially because I will be immersed in nature for many kilometers and probably face many challenges that will put me to the test both fiscally and mentally but this will allow me to really put myself in the game and if I can ever finish the pilgrimage I believe that I will feel one of the happiest people in the world because I will have succeeded in a feat that I will always consider impossible.

I'd like to go near Kyoto because it's the most famous of the places in Japan where you can still see traditional architectures and everything. And not just would this journey have the charm of "living a different culture", it would also be formative, because it's a city with lots of attractions, counting museums, national parks and a very rich cultural and artistic heritage, which make Kyoto so popular and attractive. In addition, there you can see the differences between outside the city, where all the houses and everything is bound to the tradition, and the city itself, highly populated and far more modern. In this jurney I would be alone (and I hope so that I WILL), because I think it's the only way for me to enjoy myself in a place like this.]]> 2023-05-10 21:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2586108392 Basilica of San Francesco https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2586109795 I'm going to the Basilica of San Francesco, in Assisi, of which the saint is the patron saint, because it is located in Italy and because it would be interesting to see live the frescoes by Giotto that this basilica houses. I would go there with several friends to make it less heavy and more fun.]]> 2023-05-10 21:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2586109795 Mount Athos https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2586145171 I’d like to go see Mount Athos in all its beauty.
Mount Athos has been a destination for Christian monks since the 5th century and is an autonomous and self-governed territory of Greece.
 It occupies the entire third peninsula of Greece Chalkidiki, about 50 km long and with a width of 8-12 km covering an area of 330 square kilometers.
my family would come with me to enjoy this journey and spending time together.
will be very hard and difficult but I know that will make my trip much better and satisfying thanks to the wonderful view that surrounds the place

I like the museums, the churches and a lot of monuments that decor this beautiful place. It can help me a lot with myself and find the beauty in the things that I always hated (like the nature). I'd like to go with my parents or (if they are tired) with my friend Luca Giuliani: I know he will be very interesting for him visiting this place.
For this journey i'd feel very confident with myself, also very tired (a lot of walk), but confident, that's the most important thing.

So, only now I see that Luca posted Lourdes like me, so I think he will be very happy that I mentioned him.]]> 2023-05-11 04:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2586536609 Chichen itzà https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2586741486 I am going to Yucatan in Mexico where is Chichen Itza, Chichen Iztà was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period. The archeological site is located in Tinúm Municipality, Yucatán State, And I left with my friends. The building in the photo is El castillo, El castillo is an ancient pyramid monument dedicated to a local god. I love this kind of place, I’m fascinated by the ancient structures They hide a lot of secrets, for example how they were built and if there are others around the world they are magnificent and colossal.]]> 2023-05-11 07:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2586741486 Montserrat https://padlet.com/paoladipaola/hgphxnfx12ul40va/wish/2586813714
I would like to go on a pilgrimage to Montserrat in Catalonia I could go there with my friends my feelings during the trip will be that I can't wait to get to the destination to see the monastery and the view from the top.

Montserrat, a monastery located on a mountain about 50 km northwest of Barcelona, ​​in the Catalonia region. Montserrat is one of Spain's oldest and most famous pilgrimage sites, dating back to the 12th century when a statue of the Virgin Mary was discovered in the mountain's cave.

Every year, thousands of pilgrims visit the Montserrat monastery to venerate the statue of the Virgin and to admire the spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. Montserrat is also known for its boys' choir, La Escolania de Montserrat, which performs daily in the monastery's basilica
