Things are getting hectic back home with the beginning of my graduation year at university and the unwanted arrival of that moment in your life when you have a great palette of roads to choose in front of you and you have to pick only …
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 …

Time’s up. Party’s over. Time to go home. I’ll soon be leaving my new home to return to my.. old home, the one I left 6 months ago. While cleaning up my desk today, the first things I touched were a bunch of seashells, cool …
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 …
I found my paradise on Earth! Obviously, it’s on a beach. In the southernmost point of Europe. It’s a small old town, with whitewashed houses and red and yellow flowers, water and sky of the same saturated blue, white-yellowish sands. The main streets from the …
