My first encounter with Portugal was back in 2011 and it was love at first visit. Back then I did a road trip from Porto to Algarve, following only the coast line. So I missed a whole side of the country by not diving more inland. Last November I had the opportunity to visit Beira […]
Jaunting Trips Best Nine 2019 & Year In Review
Well.. it’s that time of the year again, to reflect on the past 12 months, look back at what I’ve learned, experienced and discovered. Somehow my #bestnine2019 only reflect a tiny part of what this year has been all about. Don’t worry it’s not “a moment of epiphany” type of article, but I hope it […]
Why Oradea should be on your travel list
At the beginning of the year I planned to see more of Romania and sure enough I managed to mark on my list this year quite a few destinations: Oradea, Timisoara and Corvin Castle to start with. Oradea started to blip on my radar for about a year and a half ago. Now and then […]
Photography workshops: Why should you do them?
I am not a professional photographer. I do it out of passion and what I’ve learned until now is the result of a ton of practice. When I look back at what I was shooting a few years back… I am very happy with my progress. Fun fact, I am still using the same camera […]
Travel tips: (Re)Discovering Bucharest
I can’t say it enough, but I love the Bucharest I keep discovering! Tiny insight… I was born and raised here, but until 3 years ago, for me, Bucharest was small, ugly and gray. What started changing my perspective? It was the first edition of Experience Bucharest. I was looking from the side lines how […]
Romania: on the other side of stereotypes
If I would be in a room full of people from all around the world and I would ask: “What do you know about Romania?”, I would probably get a few confused looks (as in “…about what?”), I’d get a few “Dracula & Transylvania” and probably some would say “a country full of gypsies*“. And […]

Beautiful Landscapes – The Northern Italian Lakes
Due to the lack of travel this past year, I’ve been going through my many many photos of Italy. It is truly one of the most beautiful countries in the world. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a hip modern city like Milano, breathtaking landscapes, the ancient ruins in Rome or love stories in Verona! […]
Athens – The good, the bad, the ugly
If my bank account would allow it, I’d spontaneously plan trips all the time. So here I am, mid February, freezing in gloomy Bucharest, editing photos of blue waters and sunny landscapes from Malta. I would have given anything for a few warm sunny days! So out of nowhere I find myself browsing Ryan Air […]
