[Greece] Going on a island in winter : Aegina
Part of our trip to Athens at the beginning of the year was also a one day trip to the Aegina island. Just a one hour distance by boat, it’s a perfect destination if you want to see a more picturesque part of Greece, not very far from Athens.

[Greece] 2 days in Athens
For the second year now, we planned a city break somewhere in February around Valentine’s Day (well, actually around Dragobete Day – which is the Romanian Valentine’s Day celebrated on the 24th of February). In 2014 we visited Istanbul and this year we spent 3 days in Athens.

[Romania] Winter Hiking to the Lonely Stone (Piatra Singuratică)
The trip to Piatra Singuratică was on our list for quite a long time, but a winter weekend seemed like the best time to actually make it happen. The trip is quite short and short winter days are just perfect for some pure outdoor pleasure. So one cold January weekend it happened.

Why I’m so in love with Sibiu
It’s been a year and a half since I ran away from the busy and sometimes exhausting life that Bucharest had offered me for about 8 year and finally moved to Sibiu. First thoughts were that it will be hard to get used to not living always on the run. Of course, the fact that…

This is the last post about our trip in the Canary Islands and what better way to end the story than to tell you a bit about the food experience we had there. As you can imagine, it’s mostly about fish and sea food and the best restaurants we tried out while on this trip.

[Spain] Tasarte, the hidden place of Gran Canaria
As I mentioned in my initial post about Canary Islands, there was this special place where we spent 3 days and that deserved a post of its own. Just because it was so special and just because it made us feel so perfect. So here it is, the small village of Tasarte with its lovely…
