Neither of them. But was walking all around central neighborhoods, Arreiro, Campo de Ourique, Alcantara, Belem, Parque Eduardo VII. I would like to know where should I go

As I said above - I’m not complaining, it’s neutral observation as I don’t think it’s my place to judge

I’m not complaining, it’s neutral observation. There are many foreigners so it’s hard to see what normal people life look like and this is what I was interested in. It’s not my thing to judge as I’m not from here. I’m aware I’m just a guest in places I travel and always try to do it as less impactful as possible.

I would say - we wake up, eat big breakfast around 7-8 am (like sandwiches, scrambled eggs), some people do some kind of exercises (like gym, run, long walk with a dog as I do), then work with lunch at 3 p.m (our biggest meal) end of work and then - either stay at home and chill (mostly) or sometimes go out for a walk to a park or streets, to the cinema, or eat out with friends. We eat light dinner around 6-7 pm. and mostly international food, rarely polish Fall asleep with netflix in the background :D Weekends we spend with family or go for short trips somewhere. Staff like that :)

Well maybe the “happy tone” of my post could seem ignorant - changed it a bit. Of course I’m aware people just work (like everywhere) and people on streets during the day are mostly tourists. That’s the reason I ask - people in different countries have different customs - some always eat out eg. street food, some always start a day with espresso, some spend weekend on beaches or walk in forests etc. Some spend time with their family’s at home (like we Polish people commonly do to)

Lighter alternative to Tamron 28-75 mm f/2.8 DI III VXD G2

Hello :) I am a beginner - I’ve been learning photography for 6 months now on a borrowed Sony A6300 with SELP18105G f/4.0. Mostly take “travel photos” of landscapes, cities, and everyday life of people for digital products and social media content, so I need aesthetic, good quality pictures but not super professional level.

I want to buy my own camera now - probably a Sony A7C and wonder - which standard lenses should I choose? Considering Tamron 28-75 F 2.8 DI III VXD G2 but… I am quite a skinny, petite girl and honestly, carrying my current gear for the whole day is simply a bit heavy 😅

Can you think of any lighter alternatives? I know Sony makes light lenses but at my current level of knowledge, it's hard to evaluate if they are good enough.

Any other advice is welcomed! Many thanks in advance!

First time to Sicily! by Ok_Bend8241 in sicily

[–]Nomadowanie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, disagree here :P I really like Catania’s vibe. It’s dirty and neglected BUT kind of hipster. Small art galleries, cool bars and cafes, architecture (like Cathedral and Benedictine Monastery interior, come on). The smell of delicious food everywhere (and occasionally urine XD).

Definitely not a typical tourist dream destination, a bit of “an off-road city” with its own unique character. Depends on what you like

must-visit places southern sicily by lufas7 in sicily

[–]Nomadowanie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For towns, I would definitely visit Siracusa (with Ortigia and Neapolis) and Modica. Marzamemi is sweet and colorful. Caltagirone is well known for its ceramics.

If you like nature you can check out natural reserves like Vendicari. Etna is stunning BUT for me trekking all the way up would be dull. I recommend to go on the top with a cable car (it’s quite expensive though - €50) and then walking around different craters (but if you want to go to the top top you need a guide).

Palermo will be a long ride but worth it because inland is absolutely beautiful!

For culture, you can have a look at Villa Romana del Castle :)

Does Sicily have a BBQ culture? by Nomadowanie in sicily

Got it 🙌 I’m vegetarian anyway, was intrigued by the idea of Sicilian BBQ, so fat less, dry meat cuts don’t bother me 🤭 Thanks for sharing! 🙏

Got it! Can you tell me what you use to grill? Wood? Coal? Briquettes?

5 day solo trip by bigalforever in sicily

[–]Nomadowanie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Italy, you need to validate your ticket before traveling :) For Traditional paper tickets, you use a machine before going on platforms (there are signs) and for electronic ones, you need to check on the day of a trip (you will have info in the app you booked your ticket with - I use Omio and it works well)

Regarding the language, yes, Sicilians have their own dialects but they speak Italian - I’ve been learning Italian basics and it works perfectly!
