It’s been a very long time since I wrote on my little blog. I never gave up, but I was too caught up with life to breathe in and write about the things I care about. Well, I couldn’t have found a better reason to start writing again than to bring up the topic of […]

About a month ago I started writing the story of our cycling trip. If you didn’t get to see the first part, please read it here (it’s a lot more interesting than this one). The first day was a long one, with quite a bit of adventure, accidents, injuries and little stomach inconveniences, but nevertheless, […]

Ever since I worked in the travel industry I’ve been thinking about Transylvania’s potential as a destination for cycling.

Information from the aviation world is hard to find, or, at least, the good analyses are hard to find. Consequently, wanted to share two cool resources: 1. http://www.airbuzz.ro/ - a resource for aviation in Romania, in Romanian. 2. Gulliver - this is the travel blog on the Economist website. Some of the best analysis can be found here. For example, […]

This past week Malev, Hungary’s national carrier, ceased operations after 66 years of continuous service. The company had been plagued by debt, an ageing fleet and increased competition by low cost carriers. It had received a Government bailout, yet it could not turn its business around. A startling story, as it is the first European national flag carrier to simply halt […]

Last night, driving down from Baisoara, I saw one of the most beautifulincarnations of fog. It was like an ocean of milk invaded the valley below and was waiting to swallow me as I was driving down. It was almost dark, so couldn’t really catch it in all its glory, but nevertheless, I think it’s […]

I caved! I finally got a proper smartphone. After many years of resistance, I decided to start using my fingers in a cool fashion to make calls and write text. Yes, I upgraded to Smartphone 2.0.
