[Netherlands] Rotterdam – the city that never stops rebuilding
We just got back from a party/visit weekend in Rotterdam and I must admit that now I admire the Dutch even more. For their lifestyle, for their way of having everything organized, even if at first sight it all may look like a mess, for their relaxed attitude. I have been to Netherlands before, to…

[Germany] Munich and its surroundings
3 days in Germany! Yay! Still my favorite country in Europe. After three years of going to Berlin, this time it’s Bavaria time! So here we are, on a Friday morning, very early, in a plane (enjoying the German Alps and the sunrise) supposed to land to Memmingen, somewhere 100 kilometers from Munich.

[Austria] 60 hours in Vienna
Since Andreea wrote about her one week trip to Vienna a few weeks ago, I decided to write a few words myself about the three-day trip we took in the same time with her and Petru. I must admit that we are not the tourist type, going to a new city and starting exploring all…

[Austria] Vienna and its layers
Have you ever seen a regular pentagram with the binary interior? That’s how I used to draw stars when I was a child. Of course, at that time, I did not know what a regular pentagram with the binary interior was (still not sure what it is exactly). Anyway, this is how this story is.…

5 days and more than 1000 km. That was our August Romanian holiday. Good weather, breath taking places, surprising wonders of the nature, all the ingredients for the perfect trip.

[Turkey] Exploring Istanbul
It has been almost one week since I came back from Istanbul. I am at my 3rd Turkish coffee today and I still can’t figure out how to start my article on Istanbul. I always find it hard to start writing, especially when I want to write about something that I feel must be shared.…

[Romania] Turda and its wonders
Turda is a town in Transylvania, in the Cluj district of about 40 000 inhabitants. Nothing to spectacular so far. But when visiting it, you discover some of Romania’s somehow hidden attractions. We went there a few weekends ago, and in a day we managed to go in a salt mine, visit some ancient Roman…

[Romania] A weekend in the Carpathians – Mount Cozia
Once a Moroccan guy said to a Romanian guy : Romania is where the Heaven is! You have water, green trees and women. Well, after last weekend and a trip in the Carpathians I have to admit that yes, Romania is a piece of Heaven.

[Romania] Sibiu’s Village Museum
For the last few months, I’ve started spending most of my weekends in Sibiu and discover step by step its beauties. Situated right in the middle of Romania, Sibiu is a city of about 150 000 inhabitants, European Cultural Capital in 2007 and now, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful and well preserved…

[Portugal] Oh Lisbon, my Lisbon!
For the past 6 days I’ve been wondering aimlessly (more or less) on the streets of Lisbon. I planned this journey together with my best friend (Petru) at the beginning of this year. The main reason we wanted to go there, was because we really wanted to see Radiohead. Their concert was part of a…
