TBU or TBEX? Travel Blogging Conferences

during video workshop at one of the Porto markets

Before September 2012 I had never been to any travel blogging conference. I was not aware of them first, and then when I was, I was just somewhere far away from Europe/USA to attend them. But then, when I went back to Europe to spend at least some time with my family in summer in […]

Where to stay in Budapest – Golden Park Hotel

Don’t ask me why it took me so long to spend a few days in Budapest. You know how it is, you just take for granted places that are kind of close to you. But then when flying from Budapest to Porto TBU conference in September, I finally made an effort to visit this underrated […]
