Why we travel

Each time we start planning a trip we are looking to spend more and more time away from home. In fact, we are actually looking into turning into expats for a month or two in each place we visit rather than being ‘tourists’. This, however, clashes with our friends’ idea of traveling, which is four…

Summer Travel: Do and Don’t

While I certainly prefer to travel during the low season because I can save some money, summer travel is something which most, if not all, Europeans do. And we are no strangers to that. 1. DO plan short escapes close to home A weekend camping or going to thermal baths won’t burn holes in your…

A day in Gyula, Hungary

Before I actually made it to Gyula, I only knew that it was a small city close to the Romanian border. In fact, it’s just 1 1/2 h by car from Arad. However, we visited on the way back from Oroshaza. And in Gyula we met our Instagram friend who offered to show around. We…

2013: Places we visited during the first half of the year

You know by now that each year we write a post comprising the places we’ve visited (see 2011 and 2012), and you also know that each month I’ve written about what makes me happy (and mostly it’s about traveling). This year, I feel the need to put together a half-year-mark post about the things we…

How to Travel on a Shoestring Budget

I work with travelers, each day facing new challenges and questions. But once in a while (quite often) someone has a very strict budget and kindly asks us to “beat that” or “stick to that”. In many cases, it’s almost impossible to beat the budget but sometimes it might just work. However, that got me…

Exploring Deva Citadel in Romania

Perched atop a single hill overlooking the city of Deva, Romania, stands what’s left of Deva Citadel. Once an imposing sight, nowadays ruins which can be visited, still providing amazing views of the area.

Scenic Ride: Hateg to Hunedoara, Romania

I think this is the road but I am not very sure. IGo did find it via GPS though. The road is not exactly well marked, if at all. There aren’t many signs to signal the curves or anything else. And on top of that it was pretty busy, too. I noticed at least two…
