With summer officially starting today, I decided to revitalize my blog and to prepare it for the hottest season of all, the long waited, exciting and precious summertime. Considering that summer is not particularly the best time of the year to spend hours in front of the computer and reading never-ending articles while others are building memories on a beautiful beach in Southern France or having the time of their lives on the other side of Earth, I came up with the idea of starting a new section of quick-read articles – “What’s Hot”. Designed especially for those of you out there preoccupied of living your genuine adventures, this section will cover a mix of short fashionable items, more or less travel-related, from trendy destinations and activities to...

“I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn’t know this either, love don’t make things nice–it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren’t here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die…“-Moonstruck Let’s face it, love it’s not just about St Valentine’s Day, serene butterflies, chocolate candies and Paris and it can’t be perfect unless is incomplete. So is the beauty, the art, the entire world…and so is London with its rainy days and its beautiful cafes. London’s appearance has the exactly dose of sobriety in order to make it an elegant city, just...

There is a city in Europe, which is not Prague although they say it seems to be, and it is beautiful, cozy, stylish, filled with traditions and culture. It has an esoteric presence and a medieval charm and it happens to be my favorite city. It lies graceful in the heart of Romania, in Transylvania area, surrounded by mountains. A couple of days before Christmas I’ve found myself in the mood of being in a magic place so I jumped in the car and I drove 3 hours until I reached it.It was exactly the place from my Christmas dreams. It had somehow a Victorian twist mixed with a fairy touch, without being overwhelming or surprising…It was just perfect!  One of Europe’s most hidden Gems I rented a nice room at Ramada Hotel, in the center, for 2 nights and I...

I am not an artist… but Prague made me one! It was a cloudy afternoon when I was walking thru the ancient Nerudova Street, feeling like marching in history with every step, every building, every tiny cubic stone. Prague was extremely familiar but still so strange. My mind was getting empty so all this beauty could pass in. Franz Kafka said once that “Prague never lets you go… this dear little mother has sharp claws” and he was right, there is something unusual about Prague that will not let you forget, that will always attract you like a magnet.  There’s definitely something addictive in its beauty and so much emotion in its esoteric presence. The Romantic It’s almost impossible to describe such a city like Prague when you don’t have enough...

One day, a fisherman built a dam on the river of Amstel, giving birth of one of the most charismatic cities of Europe, Amsterdam(“Amstel”+”dam”) and during the time of four centuries this beauty raised constantly till its Golden Age, developing one of the strongest network of canals in the world and all from a single wall. A place where the water draws streets instead of shores, a colorful floating city, capital of Netherlands and a living museum, Amsterdam is now all these and much more.
