I don’t know about you, but whenever I travel to a place I’ve never seen before, I do quite a bit of research. Months before the actual trip, I start gathering info about the location I’m about to visit.
So it’s fair to say that I had a pretty good idea about what Cappadocia had to offer in terms of landscape and scenery. Still, there’s no website, no flickr set or YouTube clip that can prepare you for what you’re about to experience once you cross that last hill and descend into Goreme. Click here to read more »
I know I said I would write a few posts about our vacation in the Dominican Republic, but that will have to wait. I promise I will backtrack to January 2009 as soon as I get the chance, and tell you all about it.
I’m writing these lines from a place that’s so amazing, it would be a shame not to write about it on location, while the info is fresh in my mind. WiFi is available, so in the next two or three days expect some posts from Goreme, Turkey. Click here to read more »
I’m taking a short break from the usual travel stories to write about a more techy / geeky subject: HD pocket camcorders. But I won’t be drifting away too far from the main topic of this blog, because I’ll try to provide you with some ideas and tips for buying the best HD pocket camcorder for shooting travel videos.
I don’t own an HD camera yet, but I’m in the process of buying one, so this post should give you some options and help you decide, in case you’re looking for a lightweight, good video quality camera, like I was. My decision is made! Click here to read more »
Since our London sightseeing tour ended pretty quickly and it was also quite cold outside, we decided to walk along Constitution Hill, saw the Wellington Arch, then went to visit one of London’s famous stores: Harrods. Along with Macy’s New York, Harrods is one of the largest department stores in the world. Still, I think size is not the most impressive thing about Harrods. Click here to read more »
It’s been quite some time since I wrote my last article. I’ll resume where I left off and tell you a bit about our second day in London, just before flying to the Dominican Republic.
We had done our homework before leaving Bucharest and had everything planned for Day 2, but since it’s not easy to stick to a plan when you’re visiting a city for the first time, we had to improvise. But in the end we were happy with how things turned out. Click here to read more »
What do you do while in London, when the weather’s not what you expected (hey, the forecast said sunny day!) and the temperature doesn’t exactly invite you to a walk in Hyde Park? Well, you have a couple of choices:
- Go back to your hotel room and play cards
- Hit the nearest pub and get wasted
- Visit some of London’s indoor attractions
- Hope the Queen will invite you to a hot cup of tea

Last week my wife and I got back from what I can only describe as my best vacation so far: two weeks in the Dominican Republic. Although I was really hoping to be able to “baptize” this blog with a live blogging series and although I had wireless access at the hotel, I just couldn’t resist those great waves and sunny beaches. I couldn’t spend more than 10 min in front of another WordPress admin. But I saved all the ideas and great memories and I will tell you all about it in my next couple of posts.

In 2009 I intend to launch a series of high quality blogs, design wise, but most of all content wise. I like to call them “experiential blogs”, because they are all about trying out new things and experimenting, whether it’s with food, travel or technology.
So after setting up my food and recipes blog, it’s time to launch my travel blog. Now all I have to do is start writing. I have set aside some great reviews and information about the trips I’ve taken over the last 2 or 3 years, and I will also try to do some live blogging (maybe even some video) from my future trips.
