I get to my room around midnight, tired and hungry. I throw my backpack in a corner, get back on the street and look for the first street food stall. It was just around the corner. I order a soup and some fried noodles with chicken and vegetabl ...
We’re just some small dots in a huge world!
When you travel, you expand your horizons. When you travel more, you expand your horizons even more and you feel smaller and smaller. When I was little, living in a small village in Romania, I thought the world is my backyard. My friend ...
Time = freedom
I think that time is the most valuable asset we got. We’re always in a rush and we complain that we don’t have time for ourselves. Actually, we have other priorities. Like work, making money, different activities more or less important. We&n ...
I love winters in London
The light is different, streets are less crowded and driving around London is always a pleasure. My favourite days for road trips in and around London are 24th of December and 1st of January. The city is like a film set. ...

Hipsters everywhere
I live in Rotherhithe, a nice area, 15 minutes far from Tower Bridge, just opposite Canary Wharf. It’s a quiet area, clean, civilised. Not bad for a start. I just found out that there’s a small issue, though. Not too far from my house, by Doubletree b ...
