How to Stay Healthy When You Travel [Within Europe]

Nothing ruins a vacation faster than feeling sick. And if the sickness is a result of our own actions, it is even worse. Staying healthy when you travel [within Europe] is not really hard, but we still need to be careful and make sure we don’t go (too) overboard with anything. Having a history of…

Souvenirs I buy from the places I visit

I am sucker for souvenirs I buy from the places I visit. I stay away from tacky things but I do have my favorite things to get. After my latest trip to Budapest*, coming home with quite a lot of things, I decided it was time to put together a list about what I buy…

My Top 5 Travel Memories

Travel memories…those moments that remain in our hearts for years and which make us warm up when we recall them.

Living and Working Remotely from Italy: When You are Both in Heaven and Hell

We’ve been finding excuses to come to Italy pretty often since 2012. I am a sucker for the warm weather and good food. And Italy, particularly Puglia, has them both.

Why NOT Use a Travel Agent

As a former travel consultant and IATA ticketing agent, it may come as a surprise to many that, personally, I do not recommend using a travel agent to book your trips (especially if you travel to or within Europe).

Central Europe by Train

We certainly prefer to travel by train instead of bus. And especially for distances located at most 4 h bytrain, it’s also a pleasure to travel like this. We generally get to Budapest only by train: cheap, fast and a delight.

Naples , Italy

Naples (ITA: Napoli) is the capital of Campania region and the third most populous city in Italy. Founded by the Greeks sometimes between the 7th and 6th century BC, Naples now boasts one of the biggest historical city centers in the world.
