It is a statement, but is not my creation, or my final conclusion. Cape Town is really regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world to visit, and being there for more than one week helped in drawing my own opinions. It is not easy to choose such a destination, especially when…

How to tackle the Romanian mountains
The Carpathian Mountains are quite famous, and many foreigners, when hearing of Romania, think of idyllic rocky landscapes and beautiful mountain villages. In part, they know the essential, but when you want to enter into details, things are not as simple as they appear. First hand, Romania doesn’t had a functional transportation network, regardless of…
Seychelles, the complete journey for a perfect experience
Remember I have already shared a big hunch of our honeymoon in Seychelles, but also mentioned that the two-weeks experience cannot be efficiently resumed in one single post. I’ve preferred to expose La Digue separately, for a better understanding of what Seychelles is like, but of course, the rest of the experience needs to be…
UTMB 2025 report – a fascinating experience of “running scared” in Chamonix
UTMB – Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, to be more specific – is widely regarded as the most important trail running event in the world. Probably one of the most important running events altogether, but since trail hits different than asphalt plain marathons, such as Abbott big seven now, we will stick to its unicity,…
Corsica: Restonica Ultra Trail by UTMB. What a story it is!
I have never heard of Restonica until 2024, but I did heard of Corsica, and actually craving for some time to visit the island. I just didn’t know when and how. Then, at Lavaredo Ultra Trail, in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, in June 2024, my first “by UTMB” event things escalated. While we were visiting the…
La Digue, the pearl of Seychelles – with the heart in Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie!
Seychelles, and especially La Digue, should be for everybody on the bucket list. We were lucky enough to go there, in May 2025, for our honeymoon. Now I am trying to express everything we lived so intensively in words. It is not easy, but then I will split the story in two, because there are…
PHOTO | Bodø, the magic given by the fresh snow
Spending five nights in Bodø was not in plan. Actually, only one was scheduled. The main course was Lofoten, and just a layover, for one night, in the “bridge” town, which offered us the link from Oslo to Svolvær. The impression of this frugal stay is not great. Bodø looks moist, sad, deserted. It is…
PHOTO | Discover Lofoten for New Year’s Eve
Lofoten came on are radar quite natural, given our growing passion for Norway. After two years in a row in Northern Norway, now it came the third. I didn’t name this by accident “Discover Lofoten”, as this company shaped in the best way possible our trip, and not only that, but our whole view about…
Inside, The Village – a different kind of Romania, in the remote rural
After competing at the “Run for Life” Cross in October 2024, organized by Life Call, we both won our races, and then gained several wonderful prizes. Anca got a two days accommodation at Inside, The Village, in Dâmbovița county, Romania. Of course, being a two persons award, we both went there. It happened in mid-December…
Oslo – secrets from the capital city of Norway
Being a natural born explorer in the sense I like to visit as much as possible from I place I go to, in order to consolidate and diversify my knowledge, Oslo was no exception in the way I have approached our vacation. It is true that the visit from the capital city of Norway was…
