My adventure starts in July. More accurately, by the end of July. Ever since I’ve been reading travel blogs (January of 2011) I’ve been admiring (ahem…envying) all those people who had the courage to say (and do) “I’m selling (almost) everything I own, move in with my parents for a while, save up on money [...]

What happened?
Hello, oh ye few, but faithful readers, and welcome new ones You’ve been probably wondering where I was, or at least what happened to me since I kind of shied away from writing. What? You haven’t noticed? After 4 months? Or hey, maybe you have but didn’t know how to reach me and say “dude, [...]

The Italian adventure – part 3
And we’ve finally arrived to our final installment of our journey – Rome. I’ve been there 5 years ago and I have to say I wasn’t flat-out impressed with the “eternal city”. Probably this had to do with the lightning fast tour, lead by the relative that I stayed at. Well, this time wasn’t the [...]

The Italian adventure – part 2
In our last episode, our heroes (Mom and I) were spending some quality time, and gathering miles in the beautiful city of Milan. Even though we spent 3 days there, I thought there were plenty of things to see, but we covered the basics. Hopped online and looked for train tickets to Venice. Back home [...]

The Italian adventure – part 1
Wow…time sure flies (as it usually does when good things happen). And traveling is always a good thing, right? Several months ago, Mom and I decided to head to Italy on our own, for 2 weeks. Dad was also OK with the idea, until he realized that he’s going to miss us terribly, which he [...]

Lots of music and green in London
As mentioned in the previous post, last weekend was spent in the vicinity of the Queen. That’s right, a glorious weekend in London. All was prepared – plane ticket (bought a month in advance to avoid the sky high prices), money – strange thing about London, you need LOTS of it, even for food…weird! and [...]

Trains, buses and more trains
Busy busy week(s). The exam period is finally over *insert celebration dance*. I really rooted for my students to get great marks because, let’s face it, I have great students. They are a cool bunch of kids (’tis the old person in me speaking…”now go away children, and leave my cats alone” with whom I [...]

Hungarian adventure – the end
Well, like all good things, my adventure has reached its end. Do I feel sad? A little. But I don’t know if I could have stayed any longer, it seems I’ve reached a certain limit. I’m glad to go home, to see Mom and Dad, to eat amazing food cooked by Mom, and me sometimes, [...]

Hungarian adventure – episode 5
The weather is changing. Until now we had beautiful sunshine, high temperatures but today that changed. The sky was overcast, and when I returned from the lecture it started raining. Now, I like rain, but mostly when I’m indoors, without an urgent plan of getting out of the house. Another downside, the low pressure gave [...]

Hungarian adventure – episode 4
What is wrong with me? OK, don’t start, it was a rhetorical question, and if it wasn’t, the list of answers to that particular question would be a mile long. I realized today that my obsession with traveling has decreased. Maybe it has to do with me being actually out of the country. Or maybe [...]

Hungarian adventure – episode 3
The other day I have decided not to post everyday because, frankly, there isn’t much information I can post, unless I do something cool like visiting the Holocaust museum, or eat at a Thai restaurant (which I’ll be doing soon and writing about it, just to make a few people jealous ). The first day [...]

Hungarian adventure – episode 2
After a tiring day I was ready to hit the sack, as soon as I took a well deserved shower to wash away the travel grime. When my head hit the pillow (and after some minor readjustment of said sleeping article – it’s very soft and I don’t like soft pillows) I fell asleep. Well [...]

Hungarian adventure – episode 1
My dear readers (few but precious to me)! As of now I am writing from my hotel room in Budapest. How I got here you ask? Well wonder no more, cause I’m about to tell you! Some while back (February that is) I entered a scholarship “contest” at the University I work at, and after [...]

When dreams clash with reality
I feel (no, I KNOW) that my dream is to travel as much as possible, for as long as it’s humanly possible. True, there are some factors that determine me not to follow up on that dream (just now) – plans for an unknown future, tying up loose ends (need to finish my residency), saving [...]

Why I want to see Hawaii
Whenever I hear Paradise, Hawaii comes to mind. Islands, volcanoes, surfing, hula girls, beaches, pineapples – what’s not to like? Since it’s a VERY sunny place, my heart yearns to be there. I’ve heard that flying there takes A LOT of time, but luckily I can entertain myself (watch a movie, read a book, sleep, [...]

Why do I love to travel?
This is a tough question for me, and I think that each and every person who is traveling or dreaming of it has come across this particular enigma. The reasons are multiple – see the world, enjoy the food, meet new people, go home and brag about seeing the world, eating crazy yet delicious food [...]

The Land of the Long White Cloud
The Land of the Long White Cloud is the translation to Aotearoa, which is the Maori name for New Zealand, where the kiwi live. Why would I want to go there? For several reasons – it is the remotest place from my country (of course if I was to travel, that criteria changes), the landscape [...]

The Secret of traveling
As you pretty much know, I’m obsessed with traveling. No, I don’t dream about it (my dreams have a different recurring obsessive theme) just pretty much obsess about it – if traveling was the victim, I would be the masked dude carrying the chainsaw But no matter how many destinations I came up with, I [...]

Riding through life
Last year after talking to a former Uni colleague of mine, I’ve decided to learn how to ride a motorcycle. I’ve always been fascinated with them, even though one fell on me when I was little – it was my fault, but you don’t feel the love until you don’t suffocate under one Apparently it’s [...]

Reasons I want to see Thailand
So lately I’ve been surfing the net, reading (with a growing amount of envy) the travel blogs of fine men and women who dared to dream and got out into the world. Inevitably I stumble on one destination that seems to be an all-time-favorite: Thailand. True, I haven’t heard a lot of things about this [...]
