8 amazing non-capital cities to visit in Europe
Have you already visited all the big capital cities in Europe?! This is great! But let’s not forget that capitals are usually multinational melting points, and regardless of the amazing sightseeing spots, you can face many catchy tricks, standardized offers, a crowd of tourists, and less authenticity. As they say, to understand the real sense…
Bridges, Squares and Goblins. Wroclaw, Poland
I never heard about Wroclaw before, neither about its Goblins. I was going often to Warsaw for personal reasons. I had visited Krakow a couple of times during those weekends when to go and to come back for a short trip was still easy and most of the times cheap. Especially from Barcelona thanks to Wizzair or Ryanair`s low-cost…
Puentes, plazas y Gnomos. Wroclaw, Polonia
Nunca había oído antes hablar de Wroclaw, aún menos de sus gnomos. Iba con frecuencia a Varsovia por motivos personales. Había visitado un par de veces Cracovia durante aquellos fines de semana en que ir y venir por dos o tres días era fácil y muchas veces barato, desde Barcelona, gracias a los vuelos low-cost de Wizzair o…
Allò que trobaré a faltar de Varsòvia
Un tipus de llista molt personal de coses a fer a Varsòvia, si aneu a la ciutat. Em va agradar anar en bicicleta per aquí, la ribera i el passeig en bici pel riu, sobretot des de Most Gdanski fins a Cud nad Wisla, i vaig fer aquest viatge incomptables vegades així que tinc records…

The last good-bye?
We’ll meet again for sure! Or just simply not… and it’s fine too! A last good-bye. I’m already after many last meetings, last coffees, farewell parties, last hugs… repeating the same last conversation for hundred times… And then the last hug and the last sentence: ‘All the very best & good luck in your new…
About the ‘shiny’ expat life
A shiny expat life and its stages. When I was a kid and my parents were traveling abroad without me and my brother, and when they came back home and told us all the stories from their trip and brought us Toblerone (!) that was not available in Hungary then (I’m talking about the years…
What I’ll really miss from Warsaw
Kind of a personal Warsaw to-do-list, if you are visiting the city! I loved biking here, the riverbank and the bike ride along the river especially from Most Gdanski till Cud nad Wisla, I made this trip uncountable times and having very nice memories, especially from summertime, which is actually really nice in Warsaw. Kind…
