I am pretty sure everyone has a bucket list. And if they haven’t written it down, they have it in their heads. Even if you have a New Year’s Resolutions list, that’s also a bucket list. A while ago (make it two years, n.a.2010), I’ve written such a list on an older blog of mine…

When I started planning our March escape, inevitably I chose WizzAir for the flight to Italy because they fly from Timisoara (which is 50 km from where we live). So, with a Rome flight bagged for March, we were happy. I liked their booking process and I loved that they told you EXACTLY how much…
In my line of business I hear a lot of stories about airports. And dealing with Fiumicino (FCO – Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Rome) surely had a lot of stories written. So, in short, I was absolutely terrified when I had to take an EasyJet flight from Rome to Athens. And since my experience…
EasyJet has won several awards for best European low-cost carrier. I have read quite a lot about them but until this year I haven’t flown on any of their flights.

Update March 2023: Blue Air has declared bankruptcy, after having suspended all its flights back in September 2022. We flew Blue Air in March 2011 on the Bucharest – London – Bucharest route. Although I won the tickets (with an article I wrote about low-cost carriers), this fact doesn’t interfere with my opinion about the…
Ever since I started working in a travel agency (back in 2002), I formed a bond with Greece and its sights. I was responsible for the Greek hotels and travel agencies we worked with so , inevitably, I made a lot of Greek friends who asked me to visit their lovely country. I was close…
My first reaction when I saw the Hard Rock Café right on the corner of Vorosmarty Ter was…wow they have this in Budapest? I knew about the ones in Bucharest, Paris and London but not about this one. And we decided to go in. This location has just open several days ago in Budapest, so…
Located close to Keleti Station, Dominik Panzio is a low cost, low service accommodation option in Budapest. Actually, aside from the location, the only other perks are…the fact that it’s warm in the room and there’s hot water all the time.
