Visiting Bucharest and surroundings for a few days
My trip to Romania was a bit different than usual. My sole goal was to be with friends and not tourism. However I still had time to travel a bit and get a feel of the vibe in Bucharest.

What did I pack for Romania?
I’m going to start a new kind of posts, posts where I’ll share how I did pack for Romania and how wise or not I’ve been. Romania was my last trip, I arrived back home last Wednesday, and I think I learned a few things with that trip and how to pack.

Exploring Osaka for a few days
After finally getting to the hotel in Osaka and dropping my luggage there, I decided to explore the underground city, Umeda Underground Area, a real city underground where you can find everything!

Visiting Koyasan and the Okunoin Graveyard
After a restless night, people snoring, packing during the night, etc, it was my turn to wake up early and even a few minutes before the alarm went of. I packed everything and I double checked if I hadn’t left anything behind, and back to the train station! It was time to visit Koyasan, in…

Exploring the Temples of Nara in two days
Another day, and again, time to move! It was nice to stay a few nights without having to pack again, but it was time to move to the next city. Kyoto indeed it is a fantastic city, with a lot of history, cosmopolitan, a very good connection with nature! It was a strange first impact,…

A visit to Kyoto in 4 Days to Explore the Temples and Districts
Some cities deserve several days to be properly explored, and a visit to Kyoto requires at least 4 days and a lot of walking. Some proper planning is also advised, as there is so much to see that you will need to prioritize what you don’t want to miss. After so much walking and many…

Kurashiki, probably Japan’s cutest town
The hiking the day before was tough, plus all the walking around, so after my long hot shower I slept like a baby for several hours until 5:30 am. I packed my stuff, I had my breakfast and I went to the train station to head to Kurashiki. Honestly, I almost scratched Kurashiki from my…

Exploring Miyajima and Hiking Mount Misen in one day
Another long day ahead, I set the alarm for 5am, to take one of the first ferries to Miyajima and enjoy the day properly without having to run. With time for a small hike and maybe bike. And that kind of happened… I indeed woke up at 5 am, I double checked the flyer with the…

A short visit to Killarney town in county Kerry
The weekend of November 23rd/24th I spent in Killarney, I’ve passed through the town a few times but never actually stayed a whole day there. I did it finally, the town is the start/end of the Ring of Kerry Route and it should be properly appreciated.

Visiting Hiroshima and the Peace Memorial Museum
It was time to wake up, I get my phone and I see that it is 4:44, my alarm would ring in one minute, no need to try to sleep longer… I just had to get ready to go to Hiroshima. I had my shower, got my stuff and I went to the train station…

Districts of Tokyo, exploring the city in a few days
Every travel starts with the preparation, mine was close to none. I searched for places to visit in Japan, what to see, festivals, etc. And I wrote a draft of what I want to do, but I just did one booking and nothing else. Why? I never been in Japan, every single thing will be…

Visiting Barranco district and Lima city center
Almost everything ready for our trip to Peru! And our trip starts with destination to Lima! Going to Dublin first though, after the several days I spent packing, I had to unpack hours before boarding…, the train! I was over-packed, a t-shirt per day, extra-shorts (????), pants for sleeping (wth?? why not just underwear??) and probably…

Arequipa, the charming city in the south of Peru
After passing by Arequipa for just a few minutes, probably less than one hour. We decided to return and give a second change to this city, and what a great decision that was! It was another long trip, but Arequipa welcomed us the best way we could wish for!

Mollendo and Catarindo Beach, a hidden gem in Peru
Here it is, the longest day of our holidays! Probably longer than the flights themselves, it was a long and challenging journey from Puno to Mollendo. It was a tough trip, but the destination was a very pleasant surprise, and a very well deserved rest!

Visit to the Uros Islands, Taquile Island and Lake Titicaca
It is quite very surprising to read my tiny travel book where I write all the topics, though not in detail, about my travels. But some times, mostly when I write my posts more than one year after the my adventures, some details would be handy… Oh well.., apparently I had to take a shower…
