Read more: Exploring NaplesWhen I arrived alone in Italy, the plan was to stay for a few days in Naples before meeting H in Praiano for the second part of the trip. H had a business trip in Norway, so I thought I’d come to Naples alone and enjoy the city on my own. I’d missed my solo-traveling…

About Death
The universe was made with secrets of The Creators. Some are revealed, while others remain arcane. One thing that will stay as a secret is death. Sometimes, He’s kind enough to knock on the door to tell the folks that it won’t be long. Other times, He might whisper to one or two, dropping hints…
