flight001: Meet Alessandra Delmonte! She’s a 001 Country Per Year challenge taker and photographer currently living in Madrid, Spain. Today she’s posting her favorite photos from traveling to 13 countries! 2011 DESTINATIONS: Spain, United Arab Emirates, Argentina TRAVEL TIPS FOR ARGENTINA: I believe that the best way to get to know a city is in their food. In this case, it is vital to indulge in the many types of Malbec wine and Parilla, Argentian meat cooked on an open fire. Once one has had their fair share, one must dance Tango. My favorite nights have always ended in a Milonga, a place where you both learn and dance Tango. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Become nocturnal. Everything in Argentina starts late. That means you begin dinner at sometimes 12:00 at night and enter your favorite dance club at 3:00 am.My favorite neighborhood is San Telmo. If your a sucker for thrift stores and antiques, San Telmo is your ideal neighborhood. It’s streets are filled with amazing cafes, bookstores, trendy clothing stores and affordable Parilla restuarants. If you visit on a Sunday, you’ll find yourself within one of the best Ferias, or markets in all of Buenos Aires. TRAVEL GOALS: To conquer Spain — or at least be confident that I have conquered it’s Tapas! COUNTRIES VISITED: Colombia, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, Croatia, Montenegro, England, United Arab Emirates, United States

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

—Albert Einstein, y’all (via shadood)

Generally, by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.

—“The Velveteen Rabbit” by Margery Williams (via julie911)
