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 …

My Malta Travel Guide

I’m sitting at my desk listening to Groove Armada, contemplating how from 19°C yesterday, I almost slipped on ice this morning. Ironic how Youtube just jumped to the next song – Inside my mind (blue skies). And for the past two weeks there have been blue skies on my mind… and on my Instagram account. …

Colorful Malta: Marsaxlokk fishing village

Looking for a cool spring destination? How about Malta? This little Mediterranean archipelago is located between Sicily and the African coast and it’s the 5th smallest country in Europe. Smaller than Andorra if you can believe that! It has some great places to visit from limestone cities to amazing blue waters, superb coast line views …

Fortified churches of Transylvania

I am fascinated by churches and religious structures in general. Not because I’m a religious person (I would probably lean more towards being an atheist), but because of their design, art and what they represented at the time they were built. There are currently about 150 well preserved fortified churches spread throughout Transylvania, out of …

My fragments of Rome

You know that saying “All roads lead to Rome”? Well for me they all seem to leave from Rome and go different places. I’ve touched down in Rome three times now, but none of those times was a proper Roman visit. A few years back landed in Rome, spent a night and went on a …

Did you know that in Madrid there are not one, but Did you know that in Madrid there are not one, but TWO fallen angels?
The first one you will find in Retiro Park and his story is a few posts back (go check out the cool myth I confirm 😱😈).
The second one has a bit of a different story. You will find this one on top of one of the buildings near Mercado San Miguel. The story is that a winged man went out for a walk 10.000 years ago. When he returned, peacefully flying on his back, sunbathing, he crashed into the city that had grown over the meadow he once knew.
The allegory of this "Air Crash" is that you are flying through life, quietly, enjoying your time, and then BAM something happens and you crash. Now... do you get up, dust off and rise again? Or do you remain there flat on your face?
Let me know which story do you like more and which angel? Personally, I like the one in Retiro Park, since I also confirmed the myth 😄
What to do in Nice, France for one day? Here are m What to do in Nice, France for one day? Here are my 7 spots for a quick tour of this little gem on Côte d'Azur.
1️⃣ Cascade de Gairaut - great panoramic view over Nice.
2️⃣ @negrescohotel - 5⭐️ hotel built in 1912 by the Romanian Henri Negresco. The 5th floor is dedicated to VVIP's (very very important persons)
3️⃣ Take a walk on Promenade des Anglais - named after the English aristocracy that loved spending the winter in Nice, enjoying the panorama along the coast.
4️⃣ Enjoy the colors of the Mediterranean sea in the Bay of Angels 😇 (Baie des Anges).
5️⃣ Explore the narrow streets of Old Nice (Vieux Nice) and discover little shops, cafés, and restaurants.
6️⃣ Buy some special spices from Girofle Et Cannelle. I got some salt with truffles, salt infused with red wine (Bacchus salt), or pepper marinated in salt (must try).
7️⃣ End your day at Colline du Chateau and catch the sunset from one of the most beautiful panoramic views in the world.
If you couldn't tell yet... I am not a big fan of If you couldn't tell yet... I am not a big fan of snow. HOWEVER, I would embrace snow in a heartbeat if I found myself in one of the following situations:
1️⃣ Travel to Patagonia 
2️⃣ Travel to Antarctica 
3️⃣ See the Northern Lights

Where to eat in Madrid? I've been to Madrid a few Where to eat in Madrid?
I've been to Madrid a few times and I can say it is one of my favorite cities in the world.
And what makes a great city even better? Delicious food, of course.
So here are my top 7 spots in Madrid where you can enjoy some delicious food and have a great experience (the order is chronological with my trip):
1️⃣ @lacatedralmadrid - right in the heart of the city, near Puerta del Sol - typical Spanish cuisine, beautiful design, and a dinner menu with entrée, main, dessert, and coffee for just 15.9€.
2️⃣ @larollerie - very cute restaurant chain. I ate in 2 locations - near Plaza Mayor and near Atocha. Big generous brunch that will keep you full all day for about 16.5€, which includes orange juice, coffee, and dessert.
3️⃣ @inclanbrutalbaroficial - for a FUN DINING experience and probably my favorite place of the trip. The food is absolutely amazing and the location, the serving dishes, and the cocktails are something you definitely won't see everywhere. My suggestion is to take several plates to share. The average price per dish is ~15€.
4️⃣ @zenithmadrid - brunch all day every day. It's not only Instagram-worthy, but the food DOES taste as good as it looks. Their signature huevos are just 🤌 at 12€/portion.
5️⃣ @amicisrestaurant_madrid - I was happy that the most famous tapas place in Madrid (Mercado San Miguel) was too crowded to eat because I got to discover this charming place. With so many restaurants in the area, you know the food has to be pretty amazing not to go out of business immediately. You can get away with 20-25€/person for dinner and again I would recommend sharing some dishes.
6️⃣ @eatmytripmadrid - the best eggs I ate on this trip, and I am a "breakfast connoisseur" if I may 😄. True, the place is really busy, but oh so worth it. At 13.5€ for the brunch, you are pretty much set for the whole day. And you can find cheaper options on the menu.
7️⃣ last but not least @chocosangines is a mandatory stop in Madrid. Perfect churros, perfect chocolate for 5.5€, open every day since 1894. 
Which one would you try?
