And now desperately in post-production, in color grading, they are trying to wipe out the precision of the dermatological report.

Alfred de Musset
Image
The practice of soulful travel is to discover the overlapping point between history and everyday life, the way to find the essence of every place, every day: in the markets, small chapels, out-of-the-way parks, craft shops. Curiosity about the extraordinary in the ordinary moves the heart of the traveler intent on seeing behind the veil of tourism.
