I Have a Lover
“I confess: I have a lover. We meet secretly whenever my work makes it possible and every encounter is full of surprises. I enjoy unique experiences that make me smile for days afterwards when I think about it. I’ve learned wonderful things, my dreams have been awakened, and I’m always left wanting more. “Yes, I have a lover and it is called Travel. I knew I was in love the day I felt the thrill of an airplane takeoff for the first time. That mix of nerves, fear, dreams and desire filling the pit in your stomach as you rise from the ground while heading for an unknown destination was the clearest sign that had I fallen prey to a love with which nobody could interfere. Since then, my whole world has been turned upside down, all my thoughts are cloudy and I am only able to think of one single thing: Travel, Travel, Travel.” Can you identify with this?

February is a month of activity, especially in the second half. Between Valentine’s Day and carnival, opportunities to celebrate multiply. If you had to choose, which would you prefer? A colorful carnival party or a romantic, sweet-filled getaway? Here are some tips for both options. Get ready for a February that would suit everyone’s tastes: CARNIVAL The origin of carnival Have you ever wondered why Carnival dates vary from year to year? Although it’s always celebrated between February and March, this festival is subject to another holiday: Easter Sunday. Once this date has been set, one counts back forty days, which corresponds to the season of Lent, and the week before the first of these forty days is considered to be carnival week. Although it might seem like a convoluted mathematical exercise, everything has a reason. And as often happens in our Western culture, this reason is religious in nature. Although the origin of Carnival dates back to classical antiquity, and they can be identified with the consecrated celebrations to the god Bacchus (god of wine), it was with the spread of Christianity that it became popular and took its present name, which is derived from the vulgar Latin carne levare, which means “leave the flesh.” And it makes sense, since during this week Christians took advantage of most primal instincts to release their passions in the most wild and uncontrolled manner before beginning a period of complete withdrawal and abstinence. And it’s also not surprising that people should choose to protect their identities with costumes and masks during this explosion of sinful impulses. Carnival costumes It... read moreRANKINGS
