A winter day trip to Szeged, Hungary

As I told you earlier this week, on Friday we decided to go to Szeged, Hungary. We left Arad a bit late but thanks to the cold weather it didn’t matter much. The customs weren’t busy at all. But the fog was not a friendly welcome so it took quite a bit until we got…

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…

4 Things I like about Arad

I’ve been living in Arad, Romania all my life (that’s 30 years). I learned to love my city , but I also hate it with all my heart. It’s a constant love-hate relationship between us, I must admit. I love the spring with its bright green and I love the fall with its superb foliage.…

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…
