Where to stay in Barcelona – Casa Gracia hostel

As you might have noticed recently, I am not the biggest fan of hostels any more. More and more I prefer my own privacy, because or I want to write at night or I suffer from insomnia and each time I manage to fall asleep, there is someone being noisy at hostels and wakes me […]

I love San Francisco

crazy sexy fun traveler at Golden Gate Bridge

There are things in life you do plan. Then there are those you don’t. There are also those you don’t expect at all but they just happen. My 10-day visit to San Francisco, ”Darling of America’s west coast”, was a mix of all of the above.Honestly speaking, I knew very little about San Fran before […]

Ancient Taormina

happy in the Greco-Roman amphitheatre in Taormina

Back in the end of March during my MSC Preziosa cruise around the Mediterranean, once we disembarked in Messina port, we made our way to ancient Taormina passing through many tunnels that took 10 years to build. This little town, first called Tauromenium was built by the Greeks on a hill 200 m a.s.l. in […]

Water bottle factory San Narciso in Caldes de Malavella

My first visit to Caldes de Malavella back in September 2012 was very quick, however more memorable than any short visit anywhere else in the world. The small town famous for its thermal water, ancient Roman baths, archaeological site Camp dels Ninots and Balneari Prats hotel is quite remarkable, I must say. It was there when […]

My nights out in bars

Last night talking to my lovely friend Lola from Lola’s Travels, I was thinking of going to Toronto in the beginning of June for TBEX conference and trying to prepare myself mentally. Not because it will be my first time traveling to Canada but maybe because of all the nights out there again. Meeting up […]

Charming views of Messina town

After the rough day on the sea visiting Capri island, the following morning MSC Preziosa took us to Sicily, the island of 11 volcanoes which together with other mountains form 80% of the island. Not counting the flights I had to operate to when I worked as a stewardess a few years ago, I only […]

Visit Capri – the rough day on the sea

A memory of my conversation with Gonzalo, my Argentinian coworker who used to live with me in Brindisi, got stuck on my mind. We talked about the Capri island he with another friend visited for a few day while I was away from the Southern Italy. ”High-end island with high prices and beautiful views” he told […]

Preconceived notions about cruising – true or false?

Many people think cruising is just for old people, couples in love, honeymoon or families with kids. More precisely, it is said cruising is for ”newly wed and nearly dead.”I am not really sure if I thought so too. I guess I just was not 100% sure about going on a cruise myself, 28 years old, […]

Facial treatments in MSC Aurea Spa on MSC Preziosa

all ready for the Aurea del Mare sea facial treatment

On my first cruise ever, I was a frequent visitor to the 14th deck on the MSC Preziosa where the oriental paradise of MSC Aurea Spa is situated. Taking a private lift from the Yacht club, a ship within a ship where I laid my head every night for a week of cruising, I paid […]

My first time on a cruise – the MSC Preziosa Maiden Voyage

I have to be honest with you straight from the beginning. I never really thought of going on a cruise. I have been on a few river cruises but only those for a few hours in the city itself, such as the romantic candlelit cruise in Budapest back in September 2012. But then, during TBE […]

Where to stay in Roses – Hotel Terraza

view from my balcony in Hotel Spa Terraza

I remember clearly that after TBEX in Girona back in September 2012 I was supposed to spend a few days in Hotel Terraza in Roses bay and just relax. In the end I went on a press trip around Costa Brava coast when we visited places such as Tossa de mar and did a boat trip […]

Boat trip from Cadaques to Cap de Creus

Charter Sant Isidre waiting for us in the Bay of Cadaques

Our second day staying in Sa Costa luxury villa in Catalonia, we prayed for the clouds to disappear in the morning so we could hop on a boat and spend a few hours sailing. If you have been following my blog for some time, then you must be familiar with me being a boat/ship/cruise freak. […]
