Full of possibilities

After a wistful flick through a lonely planet guide (in Italian, don't ask...) , my already large appetite for travel seemed to be even more enhanced - a cramped feeling, a need to stretch my legs and run off into the sunset.

Especially after a particularly exhausting bout of exams and papers, a little bit of dream-escapism is what's needed.

Places I would like to go (either to re-visit or to see for the first time):

Cities/Places in Europe

Barcelona - architecture, woody allen pilgrimage(trailer for Vicky Cristina Barcelona), food, catalan culture

Paris - obviously Have a look at cute website mylittleparis.com and also Rock en Seine Festival

Lisbon - trams, art, culture Nice article about Lisbon here and I would like to go to Bairro Alto and some other places mentioned here
Milan - shopping and cafes (embarassingly I am slightly inspired by The Blonde Salad in Milan a bit...)

Rome - shopping, art, beautiful churches etc 

Naples - for the pizza mostly Pictures of the Best Pizzas in Napoli and a List of Finalists
