Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Period. I still remember how astonished I was when I finally got to walk Charles Bridge and see the famous buildings with spires and red roofs. Naturally, the spires and roofs are better to see from above, so I tried to go to as many viewpoints as possible. So here is my list of the best viewpoints in Prague: […]
Visiting Prague had been a long-standing dream of mine. The only reason I did not go there before is that the tickets were very expensive. It became possible when one day I was checking the flights on Skyscanner and saw a really cheap price: 200 EUR both ways. Needless to say, I bought them immediately! And after having spent more than a week there, I want to share with you […]
What traditional food to eat in Prague? Roasted pork knuckle and duck, the famous goulash and creamy svickova, divinely delicious trdelnik with ice cream… traditional Czech food is fabulous!

I made a list with the most […]

Below are my travel tips for Rome which include my observations […]
I went to Rome in December 2019. I opted for the second week of December, and I had some reasons to do so. First of all, I hoped it wouldn’t be crowded, as it is not the season yet, and there is still some time till Christmas. Secondly, hotels and flights were a lot cheaper. And, most importantly, I wanted to see how Christmas is celebrated in Europe: I had […]
My guide on how to save money in Rome Rome is outrageously expensive. Yes, I said it. I mean they charge for everything: in addition to entrance fees visitors have to pay for audioguides about 5-6 EUR and online bookings from 2 to 4 EUR. I am not joking: if you want to book an online ticket for Vatican Museums to avoid the queues, you will have to pay extra […]
My walking itinerary of what to see in 1 day in Rome When I first visited Rome many years ago, my finances were in a terrible state so I could not spend much time in the city and I could not afford going to many sites that required payment. Of course, the Colosseum and Roman Forum were a must, so I spared no expense here, but this situation made me […]

A useful guide to the Wine Festival in Chisinau, Moldova, or Wine Day (that’s how we call it here). Did you know that Moldova is one of the twenty biggest wine producers in the world? We are a very small country and I think that considering the size of our territory we have quite many wine-producing centers 🙂 They are mostly located in the center and south of the country, […]
