Your blog is called dysking, And a little was born from the adventures of personal misadventures I seem to understand. You can tell us the reason for this name?
Divert because maybe we are a bit’ everyone? This name arises from the set of our misfortunes that have turned into fortunes. We met in the 2011 For an ankle crooked by Gennaro and we got married. Virginia is celiac and traveling has opened a world to him. Gennaro has hypertension but precisely in traveling he found his care. That is, a tramp who travels with little and a traveling celiac is not an unusual couple?
Our first flight together was in 2012 to Lisbon and we never stopped again. Every year we treat ourselves to trips and organize them without fixed destinations but simply based on offers, we fly low cost.
The idea for the blog was born from the need to convey to those who follow us that low cost travel is possible and celiac disease shouldn't be a hindrance.. There is a world to discover about gluten free around the world and then travel, not just beyond borders, but also to rediscover our wonderful peninsula, it's a way to feel free. We are convinced that beyond discovering places, traditions, culture diverse, traveling is opening your mind to the new, is to improve, it is to know sides of themselves that otherwise would never come discovered.
We are like this, divert, We do not hide our problems, our insecurity, in our feeling clumsy simply because we are a bit’ all diluted.
Which country has kidnapped your heart?
All travel managed to give us emotions, different but all fantastic and it is always nice to remember them, Even if the most beautiful journey is the one that still has to arrive.
If we really have to choose one, let's say Mexico. E’ managed to kidnap us with its colors, food, traditions and it was something wonderful perhaps because we didn't have many expectations.
Ten days wandering in the Yucatan peninsula leaving the classic mass journery and entering contact with the people of the place. Immerse yourself in their culture. Their openness towards us was fantastic despite their problems they managed to make us feel at home. Those people stole our hearts.
Have you ever regretted taking a trip that turned out to be disastrous??
Nobody, even in moments of bad luck like in New York where the first day reflex, smartphones and iPods went haywire, leaving us with just one phone for ten days. We carried on with a smile anyway.
In Switzerland on the San Bernardino we were hit by a snowstorm causing us to change our plans. These misadventures are also part of the journey or not? In Santorini the return flight was changed and we WOW two more days. A unique opportunity.
In Morocco we had our own travel plan but when it changed on the spot it was even more exciting. Traveling is also being good at changing your plans and making immediate decisions.
No regrets precisely because traveling has taught us to cope, solve problems and unite us even more as a couple.
What do you do to make your travels more ecological?
Small gestures make the difference, from not throwing anything into the street to respecting different cultures. Simple gestures that you need to start with.
It would be nice to travel without taking the plane since of all means of transport it is the one that produces the most carbon dioxide emissions per kilometer.
But to be able to travel low cost and with a few days available is the only way. On the other hand, we like to walk a lot, We visit cities by walking and there is nothing more beautiful for discovering places, limiting the use of public transport. Following, always with us, we have our reusable water bottles, our fabric shopping bag and try to minimize waste.
Even when choosing hotels we try to prefer eco-sustainable ones. Regarding food, we always try to taste local and gluten-free products and it is also a way to broaden your food culture. If we have to buy souvenirs, we favor artisanal products given that mass tourism causes industrial marketing of products.
We try in our own small way to make every trip as eco-friendly as possible, traveling responsibly and respecting other people's cultures.
