You know those times when you reach a point where you can’t take it anymore and you just need to escape? It doesn’t matter where to. You just need to go. That’s exactly what happened with me (and fortunately my travel bestie Nicole) last March and while on the phone one day we decided to…

Istanbul, a city on a tightrope
It was colours, it was flavours, it was people. It was experiences, details, history, past and future. It was East and West, it was all that in a bizarre blend – an acrobat that is gracefully walking on a tightrope with torn sand bags in his two hands which may at some point cause him…
Villa Mimosa – A small paradise in Lefkada island
I know, I know. I never write anything these days. Well, what can I say. Inspiration does not come easily when you spend the whole day running like a crazy person for the everyday errands. It is actually very hard as when posting something on the blog I do not just write my thoughts, I…
A spash of color in a grey city.
Athens is a difficult city. A place that we, Athenians, love to hate. A messy, dirty, confusing mix of everyone’s taste, views, culture and ideas.
