The Levant: On the Road to Damascus — Cities of Stone, Cities of Sand is a living book, shaped by years of movement through Syria, Jordan, and the UAE. It begins with an overland crossing from Greece through Turkey into Syria during the late pre‑war months when the country still held its familiar rhythm but the air was beginning to shift. What started as a journey became a life: first working in Syria, then moving to Jordan to begin medical studies, and later tracing the region's cities, borders, and memories.Written by an archaeologist and historian, the narrative blends travel writing, personal memoir, archaeology, and cultural reflection. It moves through Damascus and Aleppo, the desert roads of Jordan, and the rising skylines of the Gulf, exploring how places remember and how people endure. The author's background shapes the way the Levant is read—through its stones, its ruins, its living cities, and the layers of history that continue to surface in daily life.Part travelogue, part personal archive, part cultural meditation, this is a narrative that continues to grow—an ongoing conversation with the Levant and with the self.Complete with photos of the author's lived experience. Since this is a living book, periodic refreshing will reveal later additions and improvements. - E-bokEngelska, 2026

Italy is more than a backdrop—it is a base, a crossroads, and a living classroom. Beneath the Italian Sky is a real‑time chronicle of Elyssa Vagabunda's years studying archaeology and medicine while travelling across Europe and the Mediterranean. Written as events unfold, this volume blends ancient history, cultural observation, humour, and the occasional moment of danger into a vivid portrait of life abroad.From excavations among Roman ruins to anatomy exams in southern Italy, from quiet mornings in historic neighbourhoods to chaotic encounters in unpredictable rentals, Elyssa navigates the layers of Italian life with the intuition of a highly sensitive traveller and the analytical eye of an archaeologist. Her stories move between the ancient and the modern, the personal and the universal—revealing how history, culture, and lived experience intertwine in unexpected ways.This book continues The Vagabunda: Journeys Without Borders series, which traces a lifetime of travel across continents, cultures, and disciplines. Unlike earlier volumes that reflect on past journeys, this one is a living book: chapters and photographs will be added over time until the author declares it complete. It captures not only the beauty of Italy and Europe, but also the challenges of navigating systems, people, and places as a foreign woman living abroad.Whether exploring archaeological sites, analysing cultural patterns, studying medicine in a foreign country, or escaping a dangerous situation with intuition as her guide, Elyssa offers a perspective shaped by seventeen countries lived in, sixty‑five travelled through, and a lifetime of curiosity.Under the Italian Sky is for readers who love travel, history, culture, and the honest, unfiltered reality of life lived between worlds.
