Last year I planned to escape for a weekend just before Christmas to Sibiu, the colorful vibrant Transylvanian town, but somehow plans don’t always happen, but I’m not the type to give up on dreams. So, fast forward to one year later (that is, now), and on a rainy gloomy Friday, I jumped in a […]
The best full day trip from Lisbon
When it comes to Lisbon, I think I could spend there months and months without risking to get bored. But when you only have a few days on your hand and you want to make the best out of the time here, here is my proposal for the best full day trip from Lisbon. And […]
Four days in Lisbon, the colorful capital of Portugal
“So where do we go next? What about four days in Lisbon, just a girl’s getaway?” that’s how it all started out, on a sunny afternoon, eating ice cream in Genoa, before heading to the Cinque Terre. I know that for most it might sound strange to plan a trip when you are only starting […]
Budapest in 3 days – the most romantic escape
When you think about romantic getaways in Europe, what comes to mind? Most certainly you’ll tell me Paris and some other parts of France, maybe Italy and Vienna. But you might never think about this one place that won me over, the first and the second time I’ve seen it: Budapest. Bear with me and read […]
The Romanian Wine road – a charming trip through vineyards
What’s that one thing that you think of when saying Romania? Ok, most of you might say “nothing comes to mind”, some might say “Dracula, of course” and others would think about some not so flattering stuff for us Romanians. But keep on reading and I’ll help you link this Eastern European country to something that […]
Munich Christmas Market picture diary
In the past 6 years, life has brought me to Munich enough times for me to say that I got pretty familiar with the city. But somehow the first and last time I visited the Bavarian capital, it was in December and last year I decided to take one of my favorite route in the […]
Athens travel information – everything you need to know
This Summer somehow I found myself going back to Greece. And why shouldn’t we Romanians do that since Greece is so amazingly beautiful, so close to home and don’t get me started about the food? But after my first experience visiting Athens, the second time around I wanted to plan everything better, even if it would […]
Monemvasia, Peloponnese hidden gem
This Summer, one of my boyfriend’s Greek friends was so nice to invite us to spend some days with him and his beautiful family in his father’s hometown in the Peloponnese peninsula. As we accepted the invitation, little did I know that I was going to discover one of Grece’s best-kept secret – the Byzantine castle […]
My first cruise experience – West Mediterranean
It was a hot sunny day in Sri Lanka, towards the end of our 3 weeks trip on the tea island. Sitting by the pool, enjoying the tropical vibes, feeling refreshed by a ginger ale, my mind was working in the background dreaming about the next vacation. What else could I have been thinking of? One […]
Rome in one day – is that enough?
When we took our first cruise on the Mediterranean Sea, the starting point was the port of Civitavecchia, directly linked to Rome by train. Since they always recommend arriving one night before the ship sails, we had to explore Rome in one day. For me it was not the first time in the Eternal City, […]
