Granada (Spanish for “Pomegranate”) is a place that you plan to stay a few days in and then it is a week later and you then you are drinking tea while enjoying your siesta. I lived in Granada for a month and easily fell in love with the vibrant culture, delicious free tapas, nightlife, and the people of Granada. Granada’s history is an interesting read that you also need to make sure you set aside time to do. The Albaicin district, the oldest district in Granada, was once occupied by a community of Muslims that sought refuge in Granada when the Christians were conquering all…

Once the All Saints Day and Halloween are passed, it's high time to think about...Christmas! Sounds early but we all know the crazy, tiring rush before the celebration, though planned earlier would leave you spare time to enjoy the splendid atmosphere on the Christmas market in... Prague! There is no better way to relax and at the same time fully enjoy Christmas feeling but during the 4th annual international festival of advent and Christmas music. Let's admit, deep down, we all like Christmas and it's overwhelming character, we all dream about Xmas like in the pictures, with snow, smile…

Now is the perfect time to start planning next summer’s travel! Scotland is a beautiful place to visit from June to August, with average temperatures around 18 degrees Celsius. While Edinburgh and Glasgow are Scotland’s most traveled destinations, you must venture further north, through the highlands, to experience authentic Scottish culture and hospitality. I spent five weeks in Scotland and wish I could have stayed longer. Scotland is a uniquely stunning country with a fascinating history! Its cold and wet climate is completely redeemed by its warm people and cozy pubs. Spend the…

Since Brexit depreciated the British Pound, London has become a newly accessible city for budget travelers. This bustling metropolis has attractions for every interest, and my favorite way to see the city is by sampling a little bit of everything. When booking your accommodation, choose a location close to the metro so that you will always be well-connected (and it makes it very easy to find your way back if you are lost). I prefer to stay near the British Museum by Russell Square Park since it is quiet, safe, and central.   Start your day with a free visit to the British Museum, where…

At some point in your life, you will find yourself in the Eternal City, because as the old adage goes: all roads lead to Rome! It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the number of places to visit since there are thousands of years of well-preserved history in this relatively small city, but that’s the beauty of Rome, because you can see exactly what suits your interests. For me, the ancient city is the most interesting destination in Rome: you can walk through the same buildings where gladiators fought, emperors ruled, and philosophers changed the course of Western…

You could spend a week in Florence and still not see all of the masterpieces in the city, so between gelatos make sure to see the best! To start, walk to the defining feature of the skyline: Brunelleschi’s Dome at Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. This incredible feat of architecture, like most Florentine tourist attractions, is a product of the wealth cultivated in Florence during the Renaissance. At the time, Italy was made up of independent city-states like Venice, Florence, Pisa, and Rome who competed for resources and prestige.From the 14 th to the 18 th centuries, Florence was…

There’s no denying the Dutch capital has a big reputation. And whilst it entirely deserves its partying credentials, there is much more than just that on offer. Not only is Amsterdam a beautiful city with its intricate network of canals, bridges and towering narrow houses, but the ridiculously attractive Dutch people whizzing around on their bikes are some of the nicest and friendliest you’ll ever meet!  One of the best things to do in any city is a free walking tour. It’s a great way to find out more about the history of a place while actually exploring it, instead of…

Naples and the Amalfi Coast. A culinary tour of the city and nearby seaside townsNaplesWelcome to Naples! A city that gets a bad rep but has so much to offer. Especially when we’re talking about food. To begin, start with Naples’ famous rum babà. It's a soft airy cake/pastry in the shape of a mushroom, soaked in a delicious rummy syrup. Another pastry you absolutely cannot miss is the sfogliatella. Think buttery, crispy, flakey pastry, wrapped around a warm, rich, sweet, orangey ricotta centre. Total heaven. Guess what - time for more food! And no trip to Italy is complete…
