It wasn’t even my birthday. But I felt like I received a late but super uber cool present. I am not kiddn’: could you imagine anything cooler for a 007 James Bond series fan then a visit right in the middle of the action scene? Anything more exciting then a dive into a digital archive of the ...

5 things to do in a short break in Pescara, Italy

June 5th, 2018 / by Alina Aliman / in: Amazing places / No responses

At first, I thought that planning a trip to Pescara was a mistake. I couldn’t find (almost) anything about the city, the places I should visit or the restaurants I could eat. But the reality was nicer than I expected: Pescara and its surroundings worth paying a visit. At least for a long ...

View from another planet: travelling to Iceland

November 27th, 2017 / by Alina Aliman / in: Amazing places / No responses

It took me a while to write about my trip to Iceland. It is a pretty hard decision to write the story now, when nobody wants to go there, in December, when it’s bloody freezing (spoiler: Chinese people do that, said a local, because they think a child conceived under the aurora borealis - aka The ...

Stockholm in 15 travel images

October 2nd, 2017 / by Alina Aliman / in: Amazing places / No responses

I loved it in the summer, as I love all the Scandinavian cities (I really don’t know if I could accommodate in for the winter days, though). First, I was taken aback by the beautiful architecture. Then, I’ve noticed the blue sky and the zen feeling of the water & boats. Stockholm is a cool ...

Before I went to Cyrpus, I thought that Larnaca is only about wide beaches and some old chic building. I was surprised to discover there some very good street art pieces, some beaches with an incredible view (and planes surveilling so close to the sand) and a lot of evening bars, with some ...

If Barcelona is the cool city of Spain, I could say then Madrid is the glam & chic one. When I visited Madrid for the first time, a few years ago, I found it quite cold and impersonal. But then I’ve learned that Madrid is best visiting in the spring, when all the blooming trees and the ...
