Berlin, Germany – 72h > July, 2020

The last few months drastically changed the way we are traveling and interacting with each other. They also made us focus more on destination closer to home or gems in our own backyard. To me, it made me realize that there was still so many European destinations in my bucket list that I had no…

Machu Picchu, Peru – 8h > March, 2019

Perched high in the Peruvian Andes, the almost mystical “Lost City of the Incas” is a must for any traveler’s bucket list. But, if I have to be honest, it was not in mine at the beginning, it just grew on me as I was preparing my trip to Peru. After visiting it I can…

Hanoi, Vietnam – 72h > November, 2018

You will probably read this in all my posts about Vietnam but Vietnam is truly one of my favorite place. There is a lot to say about Vietnam but when I anticipate a trip over there I can’t help but picture all the food that I’m going to try out. Healthy, green, fresh, tasty and…

Kyoto, Japan – 48h > May, 2015

I personally think a trip to Japan would not be complete without visiting Kyoto. Kyoto represents the country history, traditions and natural beauty. Away from the buzz and skyscrapers of Tokyo, the slower pace in here gives you a chance to immerse yourself in traditional Japanese culture. You could spend years exploring every temple, trying…

Holbox, Mexico – 48h >April, 2018

Far from the crowds of Cancún or Playa del Carmen, Isla Holbox is a tiny island with a great laidback vibe, beautiful beaches and glorious sunshine…An incredible natural beauty.  I would dare to say, for the better or worse, it may be the next Tulum. The small island located north of the Yucatán Peninsula between…

Ginzan Onsen, Japan – 36h > May, 2015

I figured that after a fast paced visit of Tokyo, I would need to relax a bit, connect with nature and a more traditional side of Japan. So I looked for a secluded place where I could enjoy the hospitality of traditional Japanese Inn (ryokan) and hot spring bath (Onsen). That’s how I discovered Ginza…

Tokyo, Japan – 72hours > May, 2015

I think this is one of the trip that got postponed the most in my adult life. Every year I was planning to go with a different friends but every year same story, I would just end up not booking that flight. So, at some point, I just decided to go there me, myself and…

Lima, Peru – 36h > March, 2019

At long last, I am visiting a new country in South-America and probably my last one this year. I have been looking forward to visit Peru so I made a lot of plans: hiking to the Machu Pichu, drinking the original Pisco sour, experience the lake Titica and the floating islands of Uros, discovering the…

Cartagena, Colombia – 36h > June, 2018

First thing first, if you only have one place you can visit in Colombia, pick Cartagena. The city of Cartagena, was known in the colonial era as Cartagena de Indias. Founded in 1553 it became the main port for trade between Spain and its overseas empire. Nowadays it is one of the jewel of Colombia,…

Guatapé, Colombia – 8h > June, 2018

I read about Guatapé from a random picture I saw on instagram so I decided to learn a bit more and finally to visit the village during a day trip from Medellin. The whole Guatapé area was flooded in the 1970’s to build a gigantic hydro-electric damn. This resulted in all of the fields being…
