Roaming the Isles of Giants

I’m still bummed that I couldn’t travel and it will be a while before I see again the sunny corner of the world I grew up in. Part of me is somewhat grateful that I am in a good place during the pandemic but my heart still goes to the people back home who are […]

Photo Journal Entry #6

Last year, my girlfriend and I went to Austria to celebrate our anniversary. I have been to Vienna way before but I did not know much about the rest of the country. I was completely surprised and amazed to see its mountainous regions whose stunning views rival that of Switzerland. One of them is Hallstatt […]

Prague Panoramas

I can’t believe I’ve been living in Prague for 9 months already. Time flies so fast, I still feel like I don’t know much about the city. But from the many weekends I spent wandering around the city, I may have picked a few favorite spots. I have a penchant for panoramic views so all […]

Photo Journal Entry #5

This photo was taken in the Maps Hall of the Vatican Museum, during our long and winding road to the Sistine Chapel which was a real struggle. I, and a couple of friends, knew this the hard way. We thought booking tickets in advance will cut our journey through the labyrinth but no. I have […]

Photo Journal Entry #4

It was my first time in Spain and I was with three Czech friends on a road trip. I let the type A friend plan everything because this is the YOLO point in my life, and luckily he made the right decision. Or maybe because the destination was too beautiful to care about the rough […]

Photo Journal Entry #2

Having lived in Paris and having been brainwashed by the North that it’s better than the South, I haven’t really thought of a reason to visit Marseille. I imagined it to be like a normal French city just closer to the sea. I was wrong. If anything, this more-Tuscan-than-French cathedral is already an illustration of […]

Photo Journal Entry #1

Chefchaouen or should I say, Smurfsville? Morocco’s blue city is the right blend of picture-perfect sky blue hues and that of traditional bucolic terracotta. The painted village was a little bit uphill and the more modern city center is actually, way less blue. I remember we spent a good two hours in the latter thinking […]

Frozen Series – 6. Chamonix

I know this would have been more interesting if I’d talk about skiing but we weren’t ski-ready when we went here and we were only on a day trip from Geneva. But I must say, I didn’t know I would say this about France, but next to Geneva, this is quite a budget destination. And […]

The King of the Adriatic

Before I became a fan of Game of Thrones, I had wanted already to visit Dubrovnik. Its intact medieval city-fortress hugged by the azure waters of the Adriatic breathes a charm that understandably seduced the myriad of tourists that stomp its stone alleys all year round. It was definitely crowded this year, enough for them […]

Taipei in Six Hours

One of the places you would be happy to get stuck in for a long layover is Taipei. Thanks to its cheap and efficient transportation options that can get you from one end to the other in a breeze, moving around Taipei can never be any easier. The Taoyuan Airport is a busy hub for plenty of […]
