Beira Baixa: Alternative Experiences in Portugal

Posted on May 23, 2020May 23, 2020by Ana Grozea
beira-baixa-portugal

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

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

Posted on December 22, 2019December 22, 2019by Ana Grozea

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?

Posted on October 3, 2019October 4, 2019by Ana Grozea

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

Posted on August 18, 2019September 27, 2019by Ana Grozea
cover Experience 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

Posted on July 25, 2019August 4, 2019by Ana Grozea
experience-romania

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

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! […]

Saved the best traditional food for last. Not only Saved the best traditional food for last. Not only because it was the best, but also because when I first heard about it I thought it was the strangest combination of ingredients I could have ever imagined. Or better said... I couldn't have ever imagined 😆.
*
Strawberries with sour cream and sugar served with hot polenta. Raising an eyebrow? 🤨 So was I.. Then I tasted this marvelous dish. So simple, so delicious, so typical of Bucovina and my number 1 recommendation for when you visit the area.
*
You can find this dish at @acasainbucovina, but make sure you visit during strawberry season because they pick them fresh from their own garden.

This is alivanca. It is a traditional custard tart made from cornmeal, cream cheese and sourcream. This dessert is specific to Moldavia and goes really well with some rose petal jam.

Would you give it a try? I know my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Voroneț Monastery was constructed by Stephen the Voroneț Monastery was constructed by Stephen the Great in 1488 over a period of 3 months and 3 weeks to commemorate the victory over the Ottoman Turks.
*
Voroneț is only one or the 8 Painted Monasteries in Bucovina that are part of UNESCO, masterpieces of Byzantine art.
*
The good thing about this cluster of worship places in Moldova is that if you sin, in a range of 4km you will find a Monastery where a monk will forgive more sins than you can actually make. 😈😇

Due to its beautiful frescoes, Voroneț Monastery Due to its beautiful frescoes, Voroneț Monastery is considered to be the Sistine Chapel of the East.
*
The exterior frescoes were added in 1547 and the most impressive one is the Last Judgement painted on the western wall.
*
The ample story of the last day before the end of time is like reading a book. The sinners and non-sinners gather in front of the Holy Spirit to be judged.
*
An interesting fact is that at the time, sinners were considered to be all non-Christians, and you can easily distinguish them from the outfits - the Jews, followed by the Turks, Arabs, and Armenians are led by Moses towards the throne of the Last Judgement. They already are on the wrong side of the river of fire, indicating their faith. As history has shown us, Christianity was not the most open-minded religion out there.
*
On the opposite side, the Christians are led by Saint Paul towards the same throne where the Holy Spirit awaits. Under the throne is a scale that measures the deeds you've done in life.
*
The Angels await the result of the scale and separate the righteous from the sinners sending them either to the heaven gates or towards the river of fire where a happy Lucifer is welcoming the damned souls.
*
Above this scene, you have Jesus surrounded by the 12 Disciples and all the saints that already made it to heaven.
*
And on the last layer, God is watching over everything surrounded by the 12 zodiac signs representing the end of time and the two Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
