Unanimously, we all loves it. Full of surprises, behind every door, in every room, terrass, corridor.

We all loved it! We were all interested. No dull moments. I have never seen my family so unanimously interested by a place museum, or whatever ( apart a Disney movie ;-))

We were first passing by “accidentally” And decided to have a closer look…

The place just took us in, the Castel Albertis in Genova, Italy is beautiful for his architecture, but also for what he hold!
Thus he host divers exhibition, including an interactive exhibition on immigration! Great for our “melted” pot family :-).

Here’s some more info on that very special place.

About Hopeje

It’s all about love, life, and the pursuit of happiness. I’m a French-American woman from Paris — born with a suitcase in hand and a heart open to adventure. I’ve always been drawn to the vibrant energy of New York and Miami, visiting every year for a few weeks to recharge on their rhythm, sunshine, and sense of freedom. Who would have thought that life would take me to Luxembourg — where I would find, lose, and find myself again? There, I met the love of my life, built a family with three wonderful children, and traveled… endlessly. (Let’s not forget our loyal dog, who became part of our journey in 2013, and our second furry companion who joined us nearly three years ago!) From Paris to New York, Luxembourg to Miami — traveling has become our middle name. What I love most is discovering the poetry and energy of life wherever I go: architecture, people, customs, places, and the unique atmosphere that makes each encounter unforgettable. Life is a story of movement, emotion, and discovery. Let’s keep exploring, dreaming, and savoring every moment. PS: All content on this blog is shared with pleasure — but it is not free of rights.

      I hope you will. It is indeed all you need to enjoy and get resourced. We were in better shape living than when we arrived. And we had great days away of worries of every day life And together.
