Dating a French is hard. Twinkling with my blue slavic eyes while asking him if we can go to Mont Saint Michel – easy peasy. So our trip through Normandie started here… at some pre-area of Mont Sant Michel which is salty as the sea level goes on and off so the sheeps eat the salty grass, make salty milk and cheese and special pre-salty … Continue reading Mont Saint Michel
What a beautiful island! 🙂 Landed with AirCorsica some beautiful Thursday afternoon just shortly after French President Macron. My hotel was a splendid accommodation with a view on the Mediterranean. As my flight has been postponed couple of times, I decided – totally tired and exhausted – just to chill in my hotel and read the Corsica intro. The next morning I was totally fresh … Continue reading Corsica – Île de Beauté
It was my first time visiting the Middle East. Short and cheap flight (thanks RyanAir!) with a nice sparkling wine on the flight and seat belt on while flying over the land of Israel – and we landed in the desert. The Queen Alia International Airport is a bit far away from the capital of Jordan so we had the transport arranged to our hotel … Continue reading Jordan 🐫 🐫 Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum, Al-Kerak castle, Dead sea and Bethany – Promised Land
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a small landlocked country in western Europe. It is bordered by Belgium to the west and north, Germany to the east, and France to the south. Its capital, Luxembourg City, together with Brussels and Strasbourg, is one of the three official capitals of the European Union. The repeated invasions by Germany, especially in World War II, resulted in the country’s strong will for mediation between France and Germany and, among other things, led to … Continue reading Luxembourg
I studied here. So coming back to this place brings memories. Of everything. Let me start with the view on Danube river. We used to drink coffee at the top of the buildings on the left side, having the Austrian cakes and enjoying the view from bars. Most of my time there I spent living in the times before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. So … Continue reading Vienna, Austria
Early morning flight for 25 EUR but it was totally worth it. 🙂 We woke up at 3:30 and landed to Naples just before 9:00. Upon our arrival we have soon noticed the chaotic city and how nobody respects the traffic lights. However, it took us one day to adjust. Our accommodation was in the city center in some old 19th century palace. However, there … Continue reading Naples, Italy
Travelling to Portugal for the third time, and trying to enter this beautiful palace for the third as well. Third is a charm – they say! 🙂 My friend picked me up at the airport. I had coul,e of hours free before my conference started, So we immediately went towards the city of Sintra – a picturesque Portuguese town that is set amidst the pine-covered hills … Continue reading Palace Pena, Sintra, Portugal
It was nothing like I expected to be! I was tired of travelling from Brussels via Istanbul over Black sea… but once I started to land to Baku over Caspian sea… I woke up again and all the excitement started to run again. I got the present at the airport in Baku upon my arrival. After all, it was my first time to Azerbaidjan. What … Continue reading Baku, Azerbaijan – the land of fire 🔥
Since I got myself a car: her name is Tintine, we decided to drive around Brussels and explore. My Flemish friend recommended Castle van Gaasbeek – apparently the most romantic castle of Belgium. The castle was initially built in 13th century as part of the wider line of defence to protect Brussels but changed it’s style through centuries… The castle was occupied by a succession … Continue reading Castle van Gaasbeek, Belgium
Monaco, officially the Principality of Monaco, is a micro-state in Western Europe. Actually, this is the second smallest independent state in the world (after the Vatican) and is entirely urban. Monaco is surrounded by France on three sides and the remaining part of the country is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea. I arrived from the train station which I noticed was entirely in marble. Monaco is a principality governed under a … Continue reading Monte Carlo, Monaco 🏰
