With much regret I have to say that Marseille was my biggest disappointment from our short Eurotrip. It was one of the cities I’ve been dreaming to visit for ages and after the coquettish small towns we passed through before (Avignon and all those little …
I was obsessed with visiting Provence for a long time and always pictured it with the cliché image of interminable blooming lavender fields. So, I basically had a point on my bucket list entitled “see a lavender field in Provence”. Therefore, I was uber-excited while …
So, as you already know, I went to Morocco with friends on a yolo adventure at the end of last month, having just a cheap one-way plain ticket bought months before and the first night stay at a hostel in Marrakesh. The only thing that was limiting …
After a long, tiring (I seem to be using quite a lot this adjective to describe this trip.. but yes, it was tiring to always be on the go and rapidly move to one place to the other during the mid-summer heat) and full of …
Hola! Second part of our desert trip is now here! Yaaaaaay! So! After passing by Ouarzazate, “the door of the desert”, the scenery slowly changes. Each step closer to the desert gets us to more and more desolated lands and isolated towns, not slight trace …

One of the most amazing sunsets I’ve had the chance to witness until now was not on a beach, as I wish it was, but from the top of Metropol Parasol, a contemporary architectural piece in Sevilla by J. Mayer H. Architects. It’s interesting how …
