Back in 2010 I went on a journey of my life on a student exchange to Santiago de Chile in South America. The country is diverse and the only state that spreads on 3 continents: mainland in South America, Chilean Antarctic Territory and Easter Island in the continent domain of Australia and Oceania. The country goes from the cold arctic climate on the south, with many … Continue reading 6 months in Chile ♥ Santiago and Valparaiso

It was back in 2010 when my brother Martin and I visited this magic city. So much controversies: beauty and garbage in the streets, peace and roar, colours and grayness… divided by the strait of Bosporus, it is where Europe meets Asia!

Our hotel was nearby City Court Palace – another neoclassical structure that has been recently renovated thanks to the European Structural and Investment … Continue reading All the weirdness in Sofia

First time I went to Venice, Italy it was with my grandfather and my brother. We arrived to the outskirts of the city by bus and then took a water taxi to get into the city. The city center is a set of islands connected by bridges and channels through which the gondolas are operating as the most important mean of transport. Since Venezia was built … Continue reading Venezia, La Serenissima

Landing in Dublin was like this: So from the moment I realised why the city was named dark black pool. Namely, the name Dublin comes from the Gaelic word Dublind, meaning “black, dark”, and lind  meaning “pool”, referring to a dark tidal pool where the River Poddle entered the Liffey on the site of the castle gardens at the rear of Dublin Castle builded by … Continue reading The black pool of Dublin
