Budapest, Hungary

Image
The fairytale city February's trip was a destination that I have been flirting a lot the last couple years. Budapest in Hungary, an enchanting city that creates a unique blend of history, natural beauty and culture. Buda is unfolded in a sloped scenery with breathtaking panorama views, while overlooking the Danube River. However, Pest is completely the opposite, a flat scenic city with landmarks in every corner. During the two days trip, the temperature was low, although the sun followed every walk and gave a warm feeling. The city on its own gives you the direction while strolling around. My first positive impression was in the airport, where I noticed that they offered strollers for toddlers for free to navigate in the airport. Wow! Started walking along the river towards the castle, the majestic Chain Bridge, a modern architectural connection between Buda and Pest with lions carved in stone in each side and a cast-iron structure was calling us. Crossing the bridge offered us som...

2024

Image
Resolution 2024! What a year! It was a compilation of struggles, stress, decisions, and uncertainty. Simultaneously, it was the year that brought us even more smiles because of you, your achievements, and your growth. My goal for this year was to do a trip or a short excursion every month. I wanted to offer to myself as much as possible images, moments, sceneries, and adventures. My thought process was that from the moment that I feel completed and inspired to live and discover, then I will be able to show you the world. Here is how our year unfolded. In January, we travelled to Canada to visit my best friend. The last decade, we are growing apart, but our relation is expanding and getting stronger. We have been trying to meet around the world to catch up and to visit new places together. In February, we booked our trip to Niagara falls with friends and two little "explorers". The scenery was impressive, and it was a one-time life experience. Sometimes sharing moments with fr...

Heraklion, Crete

Image
Reconnecting after a while Our trip to Heraklion in Crete had as purpose to meet again, to meet our little ones and to rediscover everything that united us. Some people you may not know them for a long time but the connection is there. So that's how I feel for you. Since you left Switzerland, I haven't had a close friend again. Your absence was intense but somehow we managed to see each other again, either because you came for a visit in Zurich, or because we were on vacation in Chania at the same time. My first aftertaste from Crete and Chania in 2018 was sweet, colorful and fragrant. So were our routes and our short excursions to Heraklion and its surroundings. 48 hours were enough to visit Knossos, Fourni, the colorful Archanes and the center of Heraklion. The label "kreotechnio" - in other words, the butchery - is stuck in my mind, because everything is an art. Our trip was full of little words, sweet looks, strong emotions and lots of talk. The Cretan traditional...

Yerevan, Armenia

Image
Yerevan, a city stack on time Travelling is my way to explore, to feel relaxed, to forget the struggle of the everyday life, to get off my comfort zone and of course to discover cultures, learn traditions, smell, and taste different food. This time I planned a trip with a friend with whom have already travelled together, and we know well that it works well. The destination chosen was Yerevan in Armenia.  "What are you going to do there? Where is that? Why are you going there?"  Those are some of the questions that our circle was asking. And my answer was "Why not?". And to be honest, lately I have been hearing a lot about Yerevan and Armenian in general. I have been learning their history, reading about the genocide and I was curious to go there before it becomes touristic. Armenia is part of the Caucasus region and is bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Azerbaijan to the east and Iran to the south. The country was part of the Soviet Union, and it ...

Summer conclusion

Image
The perfect summer ending I was trying to find a good subject for an article. And then this last weekend came, and I couldn't miss the opportunity to talk about it. My cousin, Georgia, was getting married.  Georgia is one of the most important persons in my life. We were born with a month of difference and since then, we are growing together and in parallel. Even though we both studied architecture, our career path is completely different. We are certainly not the same type; however, we respect each one's boundaries. My likes are mostly her dislikes, and her likes are my dislikes. Even though we are so different, she is always the one that I call when I need support, help or just someone to talk. I tried to visit them in London twice in 3 years but somehow halfway there, the restrictions and regulations because of COVID didn’t let me visit them. The taste was sour, and the feeling was unpleasant. So even if they are seven years together, I have only met Isaac in 202...
