Tournai, Belgium

Guess what’s new? – Corona. Guess how long it will last? – China. Never mind. The travel ban is still on for Belgium, so explorations within the country continues. This weekend was reserved for Tournai. A beautiful city on the west of Belgium. Kinda looks like Lille at the first sight.  Although, being part of the province of Hainaut, Tournai is part of Eurometropolis Lille–Kortrijk–Tournai. Tournai is … Continue reading Tournai, Belgium

Bamberg blue, Germany

Spring 2025 I left Bamberg with the feeling that something was missing. There were wide cobblestone streets that were empty, knowing that there used to be life. The Brauerei s along the road whispered for the attention. It was COVID-19 times. I booked another trip in 2025. Indeed, what a difference. The so-called Fachwerkhäuser were still there, but with different grace and it seemed more elaborate … Continue reading Bamberg blue, Germany

Roche-en-Ardenne

Still pandemic times, less travels and huge desire to go somewhere new. In case I haven’t mention yet, thank you China. One big f***ing thank you. Anyways, how about some snow? Belgian Ardennes are a good answer. Fresh and healthy winter air with lots of white cover. Why this city? Except the fact that we are not allowed to leave this country of Belgium if … Continue reading Roche-en-Ardenne

Nürnberg, Deutschland 🍻

Tourism is sometimes challenging. There is a struggle that popped this time to understand this city. I didn’t get it by first. Sometimes, it’s difficult to swallow.  In the case of Nuremberg, we are talking about the actions and horrors done by Adolf Hitler whose legacy to Nuremberg is a tainted, poisoned one. It was his favourite city leading in rich Germanic and imperial history. … Continue reading Nürnberg, Deutschland 🍻

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Deutschland

The name “Rothenburg ob der Tauber” is German for Red fortress above the Tauber, as the town … Continue reading Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Deutschland

The Ardennes ⛰️

The Ardennes is the name given to a region of Belgium in the south that extends into Luxembourg, France and Germany. This southern region is totally different from the busy, industrial north. The things available to do in this region are as varied as you might imagine and include some great museums, plenty of beer and even the world’s smallest city. Given the rolling hills … Continue reading The Ardennes ⛰️

Cuba libre in 13 days

Cheese and chalks! Every corner was wtf, every moment was mind blowing! I don’t know where to start as Cuba is one of these countries that left me speechless. In one same moment I happened to be disappointed and thrilled in the same time. So the best might be just start chronologically and tell you the tales that happened on our way. We landed to … Continue reading Cuba libre in 13 days

Pisa, Italy

A weekend getaway 🙂 Saturday flight from Brussels and landing in one hour to north of Italy – to Tuscany. We started the day immediately after landing. Settling first in the hotel in the famous Giacomo Puccini street. The opera composer was born in the nearby city called Lucca. First stop was the Corso. It is a walking street with shops and galleries that goes … Continue reading Pisa, Italy

York, UK

There is no proper introduction to this city as I arrived totally unprepared, being just a day before on the southwest of Europe (in Lisbon) – different lifestyle, different weather, different clothes… I arrived at noon to the train station without any excitements. Noticing firstly the Georgian houses. But then I passed the city walls and ended up in the medieval city centre. Astonished! I … Continue reading York, UK
