Tips to Save Money for Travel

One of our goals is to always have some money saved for our vacations (and for emergencies, unfortunately). But that doesn’t always come easy.

Vegan Travel Bloggers to Follow

The reason is quite simple: the female half of LooknWalk, Cris (me!), has switched to vegan (from vegetarian) in August 2017.

Tips&Tricks: How to pack your carry-on (when you don’t check a bag)

Important: this is not a sponsored post. We have bought the camera on May 6th, 2017, priced at 240 lei / USD 57.65. We love to hike and explore cities on foot. And we also love to document what we do when we travel. The problem? I hate using my cell to film when I…

Gadget Review: FitBit Charge 2 (HR)
