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. When interviewing for Backroads Inc. right out of college (interview that I failed because I was applying for a bicycle guide position, while I hadn’t ridden a bike in 15 years) I was looking at their […]

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 […]

Intre Craciun si Revelion am fost la ski la Bucovel, in Ucraina. De mult planuiam aceasta excursie, dar diverse evenimente (intre care, accident la ski in AUstria) m-au oprit in ultimii doi ani. Dar inainte de Craciun, mi-am dat seama ca 2011 era cat pe ce sa se termine fara ca eu sa fi mers […]

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 […]

Ar fi trebuit sa scriu acest articol acum cateva luni. De fapt, l-am scris acum o luna, dar cumva WordPressul nu mi-a salvat articolul si am pierdut bunatate de ora jumate de scris. Dar trecem peste asta, si va prezint Ceahlaul, si excursia noastra din luna iunie a anului 2011. Voiam sa merg pe acest […]

Am fost in weekendul ce tocmai a trecut din nou la Sighetu Marmatiei. Am revizitat Memorialul Victimelor Comunismului si al Rezistentei, si din nou m-a impresionat. Am spus ca merita sa scriu despre el, pana acum nu scrisesem. Din punct de vedere cultural si educational, cred ca este cel mai bun muzeu din Romania. Este […]

A trecut ceva vreme de cand n-am mai scris, dar incerc totusi, acum, sa-mi revin. Asadar, incep cu o postare inceputa la final de august, dar de care nu m-am mai ocupat pana acum. Din nou, despre Padis, despre o excursie facuta in a doua jumatate a lunii august, cu scopul de a face o […]

Intr-un final, mi-au tras-o. Wizzair! Da, am intrat si eu in randul lumii. Prea le tineam eu partea. Un pic de context: zbor saptamana viitoare in Italia. Ca un bun cetatean, imi iau bilet de avion din timp, de la Cluj la Roma, dus-intors. Dar dupa ce-mi iau eu bilet (ce-i drept, stiam ca se […]

Azi dimineata, in ciuda unei stari nu neaparat optime, am mers la munte. Am mers la Rasca, la terenul meu de-acolo. Un teren care ma fascineaza, cred ca e cel mai frumos teren din lume (sunt obiectiv, evident!). Tin minte cand am ajuns acolo prima oara, si ma chinuiam sa nu imi pice falcile si […]
