Yes, I admit: I’m addicted to travel. It’s like a drug to me. If I don’t leave the country once every 3-4 months, if I don’t even take the car and wander around Bucharest a bit, if I don’t change the landscape from time to time, I feel like I’m going crazy. I go into withdrawal. Well, to calm this obsession, I go to Journey Pub quite often. It’s a meeting place for travel junkies, like me. A place where you can tell your friends the latest ...
I’ve been to London 6 times and every time this city managed to surprise me. When you say London, you mean civilisation, organisation, cleanliness, art, innovation, nature, relaxation. It is enough to spend an hour in this city and you will discover them all. I have visited London as a tourist so many times, but this time I managed to spend a week in this wonderful city as a simple local. I’ve avoided the touristy and crowded areas and I p ...
I did it! I stayed offline for 24 hours. No phone, no internet and no more crazy stuff. I solved some things around the house that I don’t think I would do if I was connected. I finished a book, saw a movie and went out for a walk. Btw, did you know that you can get from point x to point y without google maps and you can meet your friends without having your phone with you? 🙂 Next Sunday: Sirnea;)
I was walking on the seafront in Palma, trying to get some decent shots and suddenly I hear a voice from behind: Nice lens! I turn: A small guy, brown hair, with some glasses covering half of his face. He was walking towards me, pulling a kind of stroller after him. Thank you, I answer politely. Are you a photographer? I don’t know what to answer. Kind-of .. Well, I find out what he was carrying on that stroller: a very old camera. A kind of ...
I was thinking, for example, of Americans, who “import” hard labor from South America, Europe, etc. to work in fast food restaurants like McDonald’s or KFC. OK. Why waste so much money and time with employees, when a chain of robotic fast food can be developed. The idea is this: The customer enters the “restaurant”, receives a card, which is his identification ID. “After receiving the card, they has access to the control panels. There will be ...
How do you get over important life issues: personal or professional? Do you choose to take every detail seriously? To plan everything head-to-tail and carefully calculate every step you have to take? Or do you better try to relax, to look at the whole situation and to visualise the result as if you were 2 steps away from it? Personally, I think the ideal solution would be somewhere in the middle: to look at the problem as a whole, to visua ...
How many times have you wondered: What do I do with my life? Where am I going? What is happening to me and especially what will happen in a few years? Until recently, I was the same. I saw no future in any way. I was more than confused. Nobody and nothing pleased me. After a lot of fog, a lot of blurry images, I finally see a meaning in everything that happens around me. I didn’t bumped into a bag of money, I didn’t break a bank and I didn’t ...
In the past 2 years, travel has become a lifestyle for me, a drug, an incurable disease, a purpose, a justification for daily work. I started reading, researching and planning trips after trips, after trips. Now is the time for the big challenge: Around the World. 365 days, 5 continents, 20 countries, a RoundTheWorld Pass, a camera, a laptop and, as usual, a lot of passion. Deadline: 2035. For a few days now I have been working on the timelin ...
Last night I went through about 6 consecutive green traffic lights. I was so “caught” by this thing that I forgot to turn left at some point and ended up at the edge of the city. I think … that’s the way it is in life, right? You catch a “corridor” that you think is perfect for you, you are so excited that everything is going well and suddenly you realise that you have not gotten where you should. You realise that your goal was completely dif ...
8 days. No more, no less. If you stay less you can’t see all the interesting places. If you stay longer, you risk getting bored or getting more and more stressed by the negative parts of this country. Egypt is home to 3 of the largest cities in human history: the Pharaonic city of Luxor, so important that the Egyptians simply call it “The City”, ancient Alexandria, the largest university center ever, and Cairo, the largest city in Africa kn ...
