Almost two years had passed since my first visit in Hungary’s capital. I was with a friend during that 5-days trip to Hungary. The highlight of our trip was visiting Budapest and witnessing the fireworks in one of its festival held sometime in August. That was so far a nice trip!

Wow, it seems like the other day when we had an awesome cruise in Scandinavia. It is still fresh on my mind..the experiences we had, the places we visited, the entertainments  during the cruise, the nice people we met, the fun and the laughter….and yes, the delicious and sumptuous  delicacies of all kinds!  From Asian foods to Scandinavian, Italian and they also have a European  section, just name it and you will surely have everything you want.

There is only one thing I can say, I miss that cruise trip and I miss the foods so much! Here are yummy photos for you to taste! lolz! Th is is one thing I love when I travel, I always try  taste foods  from different places and countries.

I always receive travel flyers and brochures from different travel agencies in our area. One day, I received a flyer offering a very cheap trip to Ireland. It is less than 500.00 Euros including the return flight from Munich to Dublin. Accommodation, breakfast and dinner, trips to the different places everyday and tour guides were also included in that trip.

I did not made a second thought because I really find it very cheap considering the many things included in it. I immediately called the travel agency and asked if there were still free seats in that trip. I was so happy when the travel agent said that I am lucky because there were still two seats left.  (more…)

I had the chance to visit my sister in Phoenix, Arizona last year.  Since it was summer season, the  weather was really so hot. I believed I cannot live in that kind of  place for many years. I still love my  new home in Europe.  I and my sister did a sightseeing in Phoenix downtown during my visit there. We did it till the sun goes down.

5 days and 4 nights in a 4-star hotel in Budva, Montenegro with buffet breakfast and dinner! Wow, I felt like in a real vacation staying in the most famous and visited city in Montenegro. Out tour guide told us that Budva  has only over 10,000 population but during the high season, it is 10 times more populous. In this very small city, I can’t imagine  how crowded it is during that time.  No wonder, Budva is the capital of Montenegrin tourism.

It is time to travel again soon! I am quite excited and  I am finally done packing my luggage. I hope I did not forget anything. I would like to check it again tomorrow before I left. That is also the reason why I already set the alarm and will wake-up 30 minutes earlier as planned. Some people who will be traveling with me will surely ask again why I always take a lot of photographs when I travel. I told them that I need it for my scrapbook, photo albums and of course for my travel blogs. This is also the reason why  I had printed some calling cards  because some were  asking for my travel blogs’ URLs. For professionals who own big companies, they need wholesale business cards printing but for a travel blogger like me,  simple calling cards are  already enough. (more…)

This is indeed an amazing landscape at the Atlantic Ocean. I can’t imagine that I was able to visit this beautiful nature in the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. The Cliffs of Moher is truly a magnet to many visitors from around the globe. I was so happy when I see this sight. I thought I can only see it in the internet or in a picture but I was finally there.

During our visit, we were given and hour and a half to go around the area. I  did walked a lot and took some images of this wonderful landscape. Atlantic Ocean is just so near but I never had the chance to touch its water. It reminds me of home when  I see  areas like this that are along  the sea.  It was so windy and cold that time but the unfriendly weather did not stopped  me from exploring a bit of Ireland’s most famous sights.

The O’Brien’s Tower is a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O’Brien to impress female visitors. From the cliffs and from atop the watchtower, visitors can see the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Maumturks and Twelve Pins mountain ranges to the north in County Galway, and Loop Head to the south.

Spring is around the corner! I believed many of you gained more pounds during the last winter. Yes, i did and I would like to get rid of those excess pounds before summer comes. I know I have to do more exercise like jogging or walking and any activities that will help burn calories.

Below is a very informative infographic showing how many calories we lose in 10 minutes for any activity we are doing. Take a look at this infographic and start to lose weight like me! Good luck everyone! (more…)

It was still a bit cold during our visit but we had a blue sky and  the sun was shining. It was indeed a perfect day visiting this park in Locarno.  The temperature  reached up to 15 degree Celsius that day. Our bus arrived  at  12:05 PM and we were given around two hours to go around the park. The Park is called Parco Delle Camelie Locarno,  simply  known as the Camellia Park.

I enjoyed walking  around the area  since I am also a flower or plant-lover. I simply  love gardening and it was one of the reasons why I booked this trip, to visit this beautiful garden park.  After our visit in this park, we were also given the chance to visit Locarno city. More updates to come soon!

First of all, I would like to thank a friend for the help and for introducing to a guy who will fix and unlock my Iphone. My sister gave that phone to me last year but since it is not unlock yet, I haven’t use it until now. After that appointment, we proceeded to go shopping and searched for mpc fly. I  am only window shopping for this musical gadget and would like to have one of this in the future. I am not really producing my own music with it but I have some siblings who can really sing good. I was also looking for an Ipad in that shop and compared prices with the other brands as well.  All I do is to decide whether to buy one or not. I will see.

For now, I just  hope this good guy will fix my Iphone soon. I can’t wait for my new travel gadget to be fixed soon. Crossing my fingers because another travel is coming soon!
