Lavaredo Ultra Trail was on the wish list for quite long, and in 2024 the time for the participation came, as I was successfully extracted at the ballot. A procedure that becomes more frequent at such competitions, ones of the most popular in the world, with limited slots available. Being in the mountain side, it…

PHOTO STORY | Being and feeling in Nazaré, the land of giant waves
When it comes to unique places in the world, I am the first to want and explore them. Nazaré, from Portugal, is one of these places. Maybe having huge waves at your disposal is not something that happens only here, but having recorded the biggest waves in the world, indeed grants a stamp of a…
Some more activities in Tromsø: Polaria, Mack beer & visiting the famous Arctic Cathedral
When we travelled first time in Tromsø, in January 2023, at the beginning of the year, we covered a lot of things, and activities, but we actually miss some as well. This is why when we decided to spend our New Year’s Eve in Svalbard, Longyearbyen, we jointed four more nights in the Paris of…
Tromsø’s tunnels – how many are there and when all started
Visited Tromsø for the second time in 2023, and spent some of 2024 as well there, since our New Year’s Eve was celebrated in Svalbard, but what consolidate my astonishment regarding this city, Paris of the North, as they call it, is mainly the underground network of tunnels. Experience it in January 2023, but also…
Things to do in Svalbard & Longyearbyen – Kingdom of… snow

In fact, from the bus ride started in Barcelona, one of Europe’s hubs of basically everything, things started looking great. Our accommodation happened to be in Andorra La Vella, the capital city of the very small state from the…
Malta, a great destination all around the year – things to do there
Malta is a small archipelago in the Mediterranean See that has a lot to offer. It can be visited all over the year, and so we did go for some days in August when, if you ask me, is the most inappropriate time, because it is hot as fuck and in some ways you fail…
Tromsø, how to live a dream – chapter 2
My curiosity about Tromsø was born from a… magazine. I saw the Midnight Sun Marathon advertised, so I have decided from that moment I needed to attend it. Now, it is not so easy to go to the northernmost city of Norway and, I think, the biggest northernmost city in the world actually, so for…
Saint Lucia, how to live a dream – chapter 1
A different story about Saint Lucia. I like adventure, I am keen to discover every new far away corner, places that seem available only in documentaries. Locations thousands or even tens of thousands kilometers apart from Romania. In 2023, the ultimate travelling adventure proved how and why dreams come true: the trip to picturesque Saint…
Marseille, the beautiful city of contrasts
Trying to reach Madeira Island from Bucharest can be a real challenge. So be it, we chose, in the end, to go there via Marseille. Another city from my extended bucket list. Not something very hot, though, but since the opportunity came up, I gave it the go. One day and a half looked very…
