For You: One Photographer We Love

You have probably noticed that we do not post any form of advertising on the blog. However, when we love a place, a service, a book or a person, we surely tell you what we have discovered. I have known Beth, virtually (so far), since 2006. We met on a website and after that continued…

Why we travel

Each time we start planning a trip we are looking to spend more and more time away from home.  In fact,  we are actually looking into turning into expats for a month or two in each place we visit rather than being ‘tourists’.  This,  however,  clashes with our friends’ idea of traveling,  which is four…

Peschici , Italy

Peschici is a tiny town perched on the Garganic coast of Italy, offering stunning views of the Adriatic Sea. It is a resort but if you don’t plan to spend your time sunbathing, you can do what we did: visit the old city and the castle.

Summer Travel: Do and Don’t

While I certainly prefer to travel during the low season because I can save some money, summer travel is something which most, if not all, Europeans do. And we are no strangers to that. 1. DO plan short escapes close to home A weekend camping or going to thermal baths won’t burn holes in your…

Citadels and Fortresses in Arad County

…which I have visited. I’ve been a major fan of citadels and fortresses since I started traveling. It’s hard to pin-point how and why I have this passion but I remember that I was fascinated by Sighisoara Citadel when I visited in 2000. And while I was a student I made a point to visit…
