My Story of Constanța, Romania

I interrupt my regular stories from memory lane and bring you a fresh from the oven trip that just happened last weekend. With travelling abroad still being a bit of a hassle, travelling inside the country is currently more convenient. And so, as the company I work for decided to give us two Wellness (free)

A Trip to Tuscany and Beyond part 4

My Story of La Spezia & Cinque Terre After the short overnight stop in Pisa, we left, by train, of course, to our final destination: Cinque Terre.  If you haven’t heard of Cinque Terre, you definitely saw at least one picture on the internet, depicting a cluster of colourful villas perched on a stone cliff

My Story of Lucca and Pisa, Italy We left Siena on a Sunday and unfortunately, there were no direct trains from there to Lucca or Pisa and the connection was somewhere near Florence. Moreover, luck was not on our side as we got off the train to see the connecting train leaving the station. Which

My Story of Siena, Italy After a couple of days in Florence, we took the train to Siena. The trip took roughly one hour and a half and it was fairly pleasant. The train goes through the Tuscan countryside, giving a glimpse of vineyards, winding roads lined with tall trees that lead to old country

Road Tripping through the Balkans part 1

I kicked off the summer of 2018 with a road trip through the Balkans, or well, part of them.

My Story of Catania, Sicily

I went to Catania, Sicily (Italy) at the beginning of March 2018 with my partner and my baby sister (she’s over 20, but you know, forever baby sister). Why Catania? It was cheap. The plane tickets were around 50 euro, and the accommodation – an apartment that could fit up to 6 people was also

My Story of Rome, Italy

Rome. Probably one of the best cities in the world. I finally managed to see it two years ago, in the middle of February and I loved it. I was there for only 4 days which I packed with all the tourist objectives I could think of, having the Google map of the city marked

My Story of London, UK

or the best birthday ever! I’ve just turned 30 this week and since I didn’t get much of a celebration (with the pandemic still in full session) I couldn’t help but reminisce about previous birthdays and how I spent them. By far one of the best ones, if not THE best was my 28th birthday,
