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 ...

Travel Diary: my first snowboarding experience and 5 other new things I’ve tried in Austria 

March 16th, 2018 / by Alina Aliman / in: Amazing places / No responses

The winter days are over. But not my adventure spirit is not and, for sure, not my hand ache. Yep, I tried snowboarding in Austria. It was super fun. I would do it again, without blinking. As soon as I manage to rid away the pain in my arm. This is a (kind of late) of a travel diary to the Alps. In ...

January 22nd, 2018 / by Alina Aliman / in: Amazing places / No responses

In an ideal world of a fashionista, the breakfast would be served at Tiffanys, the lunch would be perfect at Gucci, the afternoon tea could be enjoyed at Burberry and the dinner at Ralph Lauren.

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 ...

St Petersburg Tales: the short trip

August 4th, 2017 / by Alina Aliman / in: Amazing places / No responses

I just found out, on a shelf, the original St Petersburg Tales book. And I suddenly remembered that summer, a few years ago, when the Russian city was my host for few days. What to see, what to discover in St Petersburg? Well, I only can tell how to feel the city vibe while you arrive there. St ...

A weekend in Larnaca, Cyprus

June 8th, 2017 / by Alina Aliman / in: Amazing places / No responses

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 ...

Top 5: what to see and what to do in Madrid

April 19th, 2017 / by Alina Aliman / in: Amazing places / No responses

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 ...

The music road of SoNoRo: 14 mansions & palaces to see in Romania

April 6th, 2017 / by Alina Aliman / in: Amazing places / No responses

When it comes to travel, I’ve always all think about the perfect soundtrack to get along with the road: some jazz for a train trip, some electro beats for a night ride and for sore some symphonic parts for a chaotic day in the city. This year, though, my music will be that one played at SoNoRo ...

My travel guide to Havana

February 3rd, 2017 / by Alina Aliman / in: Amazing places / No responses

I was dreaming of going to Havana long time ago. And I did it. And it was just the way I have imagined: the music, the dance, the colours of the houses, the vintage cars, the little curiosities, the good vibe. But Havana is tricky sometimes. In my travel to Havana (with a little teaser in Miami), ...
