THE SOUTH WEST OF BULGARIA: A LAND OF MIRACLES, WONDERS AND HEROISM.
Posted on October 7, 2015
24 hours are never enough. Especially when it comes to exploring Bulgaria. Yet, it looks like 110, 994 square kilometres, which is exactly how big Bulgaria is, have been more than enough for Mother Nature to spread her beauty. On such a small territory you could find majestic mountains, golden beaches, endless lush green valleys, […]
A MUST TRY: TWO GREAT UNDER-THE-RADAR SUMMER VACATION DESTINATIONS.
Posted on August 13, 2015
Recently I have been thinking how much we limit ourselves in our own experiences and explorations. We tend to do the same things, meet with the same people, go to the exact same places that we have already been thousands of times. And all this just because it feels familiar and safe, and we don’t […]
SOFIA. MY WONDERLAND.
Posted on August 5, 2015
USA is no longer the land of unlimited possibilities. Bulgaria is. Here you can do anything and become everything that you wish. Because it’s affordable, chilled and literally no rules apply. Being a place awash with great food, wild clubbing scene and centuries of unique culture, the capital – Sofia, is one of Bulgarian’s most […]
1001 NIGHTS.
Posted on July 13, 2015
It was the 1000th night: sizzling, humid summer night. The moon was full and golden; our eyes tired, yet hungry for new views and perspectives. We were in Dubi Dubi, better known as Dubai. I am not sure what’s more intoxicating about Dubai: the sweet aroma of the sea, or the dazzling reflections of the […]

‘Kyoto, once the capital of Japan, is a refined city on the island of Honsh with thousands of classical Buddhist temples, as well as gardens, imperial palaces, Shinto shrines and traditional wooden houses.

Tokyo: I have never been to a more peaceful and relaxed 13.22 million-city. There is something about the people’s calmness here that makes this place so zen. It is so quiet and harmonious that even in the morning rush hour when people from all around the city are going to work, you could actually be […]

Japan: always flagrant, always exotic, always in blush pink… Ok, not always, but at least in springtime it certainly is. The sakura season (cherry blossom season) is one of the best times of the year when one could visit Japan. It is also one of the most popular, hence very crowded and busy periods. So […]

Deep blues, warm yellows and bright, glowing greens. Soft, colourful brush strokes that capture the essence of almost overwhelming nature. It recalls a Renoir’s painting. It’s springtime in Cape Town: a magnificent aquarelle illusion that makes the most romantic honeymoon scenery a couple of newlyweds like F and I could ever dream of. [1] South […]
SUMMER IN EDINBURGH? WHY NOT?!
Posted on August 15, 2014
Edinburgh is probably the last place that you would choose to spend your summer vacation in. And you would be kind of right. There is no real summer at all: the temperatures never go beyond 21 degrees; it’s raining almost constantly; the wind is so cold and annoying that it penetrates right through your bones. […]
