Hey there travelers! How are you hanging in there? I know I miss boarding a plane and discovering new places. But, by the looks of things, I’ll be doing a lot more local exploring this year. And to be honest, it’s a good plan. Helping local tourism, show you some beautiful places, putting Romania on …

Beira Baixa: Alternative Experiences in 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 & 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 …
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 …
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 …
