Shiva, the destroyer. Built of red sandstone , the so-called lady temple or citadel of women,

Abu Simbel is a 12 th century temple complex built during the reign of pharaoh Ramses II. The
main temple is dedicated to king Ramses II and the smaller one to his beloved wife, queen
Nefertari. The temples survived through ancient times but were threatened to submerge in
the Nile, with the construction of the high dam in Aswan. With an extraordinary engineering
feat they were dismantled and reassembled to higher ground.
An astonishing event occurs in the main temple during a thousand years old astronomical
ceremony. At dawn of February 22 and October 22 of every year, during the solar alignment
, the rays of sun enter deep into the temple sanctuary, lightening only the statues of the gods
Ra-Horakhty, Amun-Ra and that of the deified king Ramses , leaving Ptah, the god of
darkness and the underworld remain in the dark....

Nazca lines | Nazca | Peru
A collection of huge ancient carvings, etched in the barren Nazca desert, near the
panamericana coastal road in southern Peru. Geoglyphs, simple geometric designs as
trapezoids, triangles and lines of many kilometers long. Biomorphs, figures of animals and
insects - a spider, the hummingbird, the monkey, the whale but also anthropoids - the
‘hands’ and of course the ‘astronaut’, can make you believe in any theory...
Amazing in symmetry and detail, a big mystery, still no one has proof of who built them and for what purpose, just speculations... A magnificent enigma, one can only appreciate flying
above the desert.

Γειά! Hello! Hola! Hej! Salut! Привет! Namaste! Salaam! Konnichiwa! Chào bạn! Selamat
pagi! Sà-wàt-dee!
I’m Natassa Mitsika – friends call me Nat – and I come from Greece. I live in Athens, however
I consider the whole world to be my home! I am a “roamer, wanderer, nomad, vagabond …
call me what you will” (and a music lover, obviously) I travel a lot and collect moments, smiles, emotions, images, smells and tastes from the places I visit all around our amazing planet. I make friends from the East to the West and I try to have all sorts of adventures! Wandering is for me the best way to make dreams come true!
I am not a writer, author or travel blogger. This page is just my “treasure box” containing
precious memories from my wandering around the world, and waiting to be filled with many
new ones!
Please keep in mind, as you “travel” on this page with me, that this site is not a travel guide.
Texts, captions and all posted material depict my own feelings, preferences, views and
opinions while traveling. I am always willing to answer questions and of course I will be happy
to talk with you about your travelling adventures!
Enjoy the ride!
