Sighisoara : Through a mirror, darkly

Sighisoara : Through a mirror, darkly
I've been  travelling a lot lately in medieval citadels all over Europe, diving metaphorically in Middle Age stories, superstitions,  misconceptions and religious beliefs on the other hand. My last stop: Sighisoara- the pearl of Transylvania. A trip back in time. As the sun goes down, the citadel takes the colours and shadows of the past,…

Prague: History with beer

Prague: History with beer
I've spent my birthday with 15 strangers talking history, sightseeing with a bottle of beer in my Michael Kors jetsetter bag. In Prague. PS: I dont carry beer in my bag, on normal basis :) I doubt that's legal anywhere in the world. But when in Prague, we do it the czech way. I am…

A Beach less Traveled
I told you before about my passion to collect books from all over the world, during my trips. I'm a book lover anyway and this gives me the chance to get a better feeling of the destination I'm visiting. So while visiting St Maarten, I discovered one morning this book, guess what, with the authors…

China- dincolo de Orasul Interzis

China- dincolo de Orasul Interzis
In liceu dezvoltasem o reala pasiune pentru China si uneori ma intreb care ar fi fost drumul meu, daca mi-as fi urmat imboldul adolescentin de a studia chineza. Privind in urma, cred ca acum 15 ani, ar fi fost un pas curajos, dar plin de oportunitati, avand in vedere cautarea pe care o au astazi…

Viziteaza Shanghai: Tunelul subacvatic catre istorie

Viziteaza Shanghai: Tunelul subacvatic catre istorie
Orasul Shanghai mi-a aparut prima data in vis. Cand am ajuns cu adevarat acolo, zona Pudong si celebrul The Bund m-au cucerit pe loc. Am calatorit prin istorie, din trecut in viitor, prin tunelul acvatic ce traverseaza raul Huangpu. Orasul Shanghai a avut o istorie tumultoasa prin nori de opium, devenind dintr-un mic sat pescaresc,…

Gypsetter: Life as a journey

Gypsetter: Life as a journey
A fost odata un jetsetter- un hedonist cosmopolit, sofisticat, caruia ii place sa calatoreasca in locuri exotice. Intre timp, a aparut - gypsetter-ul - o imbinare intre spiritul liber al unui "gypsy" si stilul sofisticat al unui "jersetter", un suflet nobil neincatusat, ce pretuieste viata si traieste ficare zi ca o minune, descoperind lumea, calatorind.…

St Maarten: Infinit blue

St Maarten: Infinit blue
St Maarten is the undisputed champion of idleness. The charms of the island are spread over more than 36 beaches, probably more. It takes time to find even the most famous beaches, but with little effort everyone should be able to satisfy their quest for golden sand and turquoise water. Of course, to find the…
