The Bucket List

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…

Airline Review: WizzAir

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…

Although I won the tickets (with an article I wrote about low-cost carriers), this fact doesn’t interfere with my opinion about the…

Review: Hard Rock Cafe Budapest

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…
