Sailing Greece

I always had a certain fear of sleeping on a boat because my first cruise ship adventure didn’t go so well. But because I already had some experience with motion sickness and I usually tend to face my fears, I accepted the challenge of sleeping 6 nights on a catamaran and seeing another face of Greece.Believe me ...

7 epic days in Zanzibar

when planning a vacation ahead, you definitely get a better price and have time to research the place where you’re going, but you also count the days until the time finally comes. That’s if you’re not a millionaire and travel every month.That’s what happened to me with my amazing holiday in Zanzibar. 11 people, and a month until everyone decided, but on 1st of October, we knew what we were going to do in February. ????Although the wait was long, it was totally worth it and I honestly don’t know how to start my story or how to find my words in writing to express everything I’ve discovered and experienced in these 7 epic days in Zanzibar.Because...

How to spend 6 days in Greece II

Amanzoe
With a "little" delay, I’ll have to finish the story about Greece because there is much more to tell about this country. As I was writing, I thought that I would like a device that can capture emotions when we discover new places, because neither pictures nor words can render the image to its true value. Surely, if I could put into words the state of euphoria I sometimes feel, the text would be a corny one. Totally not my style ????However, I will try to describe all the wonderful places I've discovered, starting with Athens, where I would go back anytime to eat the best truffle pasta on the terrace of Grande Bretagne Hotel. The view...

Loire Valley during Winter Holidays

Chateau Royal de Blois
For me, every trip is a reason for joy and adrenaline, whether it's a job or a vacation. But after an awful cold and 2 sleepless nights, exploring a new place didn’t seem so fun. However, armed with many pills, tinctures and oils I went to look for my prince in the enchanted castle.You know I’m kidding, but I would not have missed the trip to Loire Valley for anything in the world. I've seen so many pictures online and I've heard so many recommendations that it was a must to get there, even for 3 days. And what I saw was a preview to open my appetite for even more.After a flight or rather a three-hour...

How to spend 6 days in Greece

Until 2 weeks ago Greece was just about Athens and a few popular islands in my mind. But discovering Athens and the region of Peloponnese in 6 days was the ultimate mind changer for me and I will tell you more about it. The thing is that everything happened on fast forward, so it challenged my taste to discover more of it and for sure me & Sandra will come back there to take a tour in our car without rushing.But first things first. The Greek National Organization of Tourism based in Romania invited me together with 6 super ladies to visit the newest popular regions from Greece. In fact, a small number of them because the...

10 days of adventure in Costa Rica – part II

Costa Rica
After a rich breakfast in Selina we went off to Tamarindo, another famous beach in Costa Rica. On our way there we discovered a huge pineapple plantation, another gorgeous beach and a restaurant where we had the best fish ever - La Ostra, located right on the side of the road.As a result to all these pit stops we made it to Tamarindo pretty late at night, and encountered some pouring rain and an electricity blackout in the whole region. Pretty of bad news for a fresh welcome, right? Anyways, I grabbed my hand luggage in one hand and the flashlight in the other and made my way through inside our Selina Hotel accommodation. I wasn’t however very...

selina hostel, manuel antonio, costa rica
And when I say adventure you have to believe me. From lost airplanes, stolen luggage to falling out of the rafting boat. But let's start with the beginning.After a white night I embarked on the Bucharest - Amsterdam - Atlanta - San Jose route prepared to endure the 23 hours of flight and stopovers. Only that the 23 hours extended for another 14 hours, because Atlanta airport security is something like the walking of a snail, so we lost the flight to San Jose and had to wait until the next day to board the next flight.Photos by Rares PulbereWhen I felt the warmth of Costa Rica, I knew I was on vacation. We went to Alamo,...
