The Tea in My Life: Photo Blog Post

Three months ago I wrote about the coffee in my life. Now it’s time to tackle the tea addiction. Especially during winter I make friends with various tea mixes – which I also love to buy from the places I visit. Here is a short list of teas I have had the past fall and…

Something to Read: Sex and the City – Candace Bushnell

ATTENTION SPOILERS! Sex and the City (the book) is a collection of essays written by Candace Bushnell, based on her own column Sex and the City in the New York Observer. Everything in the book is based on her life and on her friends’ lives. The book was first published in 1996 and I was…

Traveling With a Group of Friends and Acquaintances

Budapest 2012-2013 was probably the worst experience I had so far traveling with a group of friends. And even worse, it brakes my heart that Alex felt even worse. The travel writer in me , though, has found a way to turn it into something constructive: write some ideas / tips for traveling with a…

Packed and ready to go

I just finished packing for our next 5 days (Dec 29 to Jan 2) in Budapest, Hungary. Thankfully I also remembered to ask the staff at the place we are staying whether they provide towels (and they do!) so I don’t carry any dead-weight around. I also decided against taking the fleece and opted for…

13 Travel Resolutions for 2013

I know that resolutions are usually meant to be broken – how many of us resolved to lose weight the next year or work out more or learn a new language but never did it ? – but somehow, putting some ideas in writing makes everything clearer. And at the end of 2013 I’d be…

Something to Read: Best Christmas Books

Many of us travel during this time of the year and the long hours spent in airports, train stations and getting from one place to another are sweeter when we open a book to read. And while I read year-round, there’s only a small fraction of time when I can stomach Christmas Books. By mid-January…

Android Travel Apps That I Use [and recommend]

I’ve been in love with my Android phones since I got my first one, and it didn’t take long to start using Android travel apps. As you know, I tend to stay away from recommending places, apps, hotels, airlines, etc unless I’ve used their services. And somehow, I always find something to complain about (must…

10 Favorite Foods From the Places I Visited

I am not a foodie. I don’t travel just to sample a type of food. And being the semi-vegetarian / picky eater that I am…let’s say that sometimes it’s hard to find something to suit my mood. I always joked that the best diet for me is traveling: I eat breakfast, walk like crazy, grab…

Addicted to coffee: photo blog post

I am addicted to coffee…I know it , I haven’t ever fought it. I feel that coffee and writing go hand in hand and coffee also has some benefits. Plus, with my low blood pressure even my doctor agrees with me drinking coffee. Of course, taking photos of coffee I had when I travel is…

Recipes from the road: Tuna Salad

I am not a foodie and I am not exactly the person to indulge in any food. However, I do love sea food and salads. While we were in Rome, the girl working at Fondi Bar – remember I told you I have fallen in love with this bar? – made a tuna salad for…
