Italy | A Country You Never Finish Discovering
Italy has something that cannot be fully captured, even after visiting it several times. Each return is like coming back to a new country; it is not a destination you simply cross off a list. There is so much to know that you always want to return. There are always new versions of it, and […]
Malta | Sailing the Mediterranean at Midnight
Malta came into my life during a strange moment in the world. It was the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and traveling had become almost impossible. I wanted to return to Europe, and one of the easiest ways to do that was by studying. So I made a practical decision that turned into something unforgettable. […]
Turkey | Two Continents, One Heartbeat
Turkey came into my life unexpectedly. I did not travel there thinking I would end up living in Istanbul, yet that is exactly what happened. What started as a trip slowly turned into a longer stay, then into returns, until it quietly became almost a second home. I arrived in Istanbul open, observant, ready to […]
France | Effortless Elegance, Living History, and the Art of Slow Travel
During my first trip to Paris, the cliché of the Capital of Love dissolved to reveal something much deeper: an atmospheric, undeniable romance woven into the very architecture, the zinc balconies, and the precise way the afternoon light falls on the stone facades. To truly understand this city, one must climb. Walking through Montmartre, past […]
Portugal | Cliffs, Light and Atlantic Rhythm
I arrived in Portugal through Lisbon, and from the very first moment I felt that the city carried something special. Lisbon is not flat, it rises. Its hills shape the rhythm of the journey, and from above, the views look almost painted. Between red rooftops and pale façades, castles and viewpoints appear, giving the city […]
Greece | Islands of Light, Mythology and the Aegean Sea
My trip to Greece left me with an unforgettable lesson: choosing the right time of year to travel changes everything, and peak summer is definitely not the best choice for visiting this country. Arriving during that season brought a brutal physical challenge under a relentless, unforgiving sun. Athens is a fascinating city where ancient history […]
Spain | A Fusion of Cultures, Flavors and Mediterranean Rhythm
My journey through Spain began in the south, in the region of Andalusia, a place blessed with constant sunshine 365 days a year, even in winter. In the summer, the sun lingers in the sky almost until 10 p.m., with an intensity usually reserved for midday. This is immensely appealing to people from the north, […]
Slovakia Stories: A Coffee, the Danube, and the Magic of Bratislava
Bratislava in Slovakia surprised me. It’s not a city that appears on every travel list, but my desire to see the world always leads me to these random destinations, the ones I end up falling in love with. The city has a serene atmosphere that makes it truly stand out. I arrived without high expectations […]
Poland | A Journey of Memory and Reflection
I traveled from Bratislava to Poland by bus, crossing the border with that mix of curiosity, nerves and respect you feel when you know you’re about to visit a place that has marked the history of humanity. I had read about Auschwitz and Birkenau in books and seen them in films, but nothing compares to […]
My First Eurotrip | Spain, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Austria
The first time I visited Europe, I started in Spain. I arrived in Madrid, which I believe is the easiest way to enter Europe for Spanish speakers, obviously because of the language. There, I had a wonderful time with a friend who showed me this charming city for the first time, but I’ll save Spain […]
