«Κάθε άρτιος ταξιδευτής δημιουργάει πάντα τη χώρα που ταξιδεύει» Ν. Καζαντζάκη

for English/http://goo.glM1CoHL Το blog urban travel tales από το Μάιο 2012 που ξεκίνησε στοχεύει να υπενθυμίζει τον πλούτο της Πολιτιστικής Κληρονομιάς και την ανάγκη άμεσης δραστηριοποίησης για τη προστασία του περιβάλλοντος. Έχει βραβευτεί 3 φορές από ομάδες bloggers. Τα κείμενα που αναρτώνται είναι πρωτοεμφανιζόμενα κείμενα μου, αποτέλεσμα ενδελεχούς έρευνας, επιμέλειας και προσωπικής εμπειρίας. Η προσέγγιση μου είναι η ταξιδιωτική της αναζήτησης, όχι η τουριστική. Συνοδεύονται από δικές μου φωτογραφίες, σε άλλη περίπτωση αναφέρεται η πηγή. Οποιαδήποτε αναδημοσίευση ή αναπαραγωγή του […]
