2 fairy-tale like towns at a stone’s throw from Frankfurt am Main I am pretty sure that you either heard or read plenty of articles on the internet saying that Frankfurt is not the most picturesque city in Germany. Personally, I really like the city, but I have to admit that the ravages of the… Read More Weekend escape: Kronberg im Taunus & Königstein im Taunus
2 orasele de poveste la 2 pasi de Frankfurt am Main Cu siguranta vi s-a spus sau ati citit prin diverse articole care circula pe internet ca Frankfurt nu e cel mai pitoresc oras al Germaniei. Personal, orasul imi place chiar foarte mult, insa trebuie sa recunosc ca ravagiile celor doua Razboaie Mondiale si-au lasat… Read More Escapada de weekend: Kronberg im Taunus & Königstein im Taunus
Ieri s-au implinit 4 ani de cand i-am spus “Da” lui T., in fata ofiterului de la starea civila. Cativa prieteni m-au intrebat cum si mai ales cand au trecut acesti 4 ani? Raspunsul e: habar n-am. Stiu doar ca ma bucur in fiecare zi de cel pe care l-am ales sa imi fie alaturi… Read More Insula Kerrera si o aniversare cu ceai si prajitura cu morcov
My husband hates coffee, from smell to taste. Instead, he’s a big tea lover and whenever we get to a place with a strong tea tradition, we purchase supplies for a whole life. I, on the other hand, have no strong preference. I do drink coffee (to be more precise, milk with coffee) and although… Read More It’s teatime in Sri Lanka!
A gem polished by the slave trade When you say Stone Town a few key words come to your mind: colonial past, the slave trade, spices, doors carved in precious wood essences, and, obviously, Freddie Mercury (yes, he was born here, if you did not know). As my holiday in Zanzibar ended right in the… Read More Stone Town – on slaves and doors that open to the past
After a week spent at Melia Zanzibar, we moved for two nights in Chumbe Island. The name will probably say nothing to you and to be honest nor I have heard of this island until my husband informed me one day that he discovered a protected island, flanked by a massive coral reef, not far… Read More Chumbe Island: Return To Nature
Prima parte a povestii despre Umberto Tomassello si familia sa am scris-o aici. Si asa cum am promis, a doua parte din aceasta inedita poveste siciliana o gasiti mai jos. Odata intorsi la cabana, am decis ca ramanem si am anulat cazarea din Messina. In cele din urma, nu interveneau schimbari majore in planurile noastre.… Read More Acasa la familia Tomassello. O poveste reala despre ospitalitatea siciliana. (II)
Aceasta este o poveste adevarata. Dar, inainte de a va relata povestea familiei Tomassello este esential sa clarific cateva aspecte. Nu-i cunosteam pe niciunul dintre membrii familiei Tomassello inainte de calatoria in Sicilia. Cum imi place mie sa fac de obicei, ma apucasem de rascolit internetul cu vreo 2 luni inainte de calatoria propriu-zisa, in… Read More Acasa la familia Tomassello. O poveste reala despre ospitalitatea siciliana. (I)
Scriind titlul acestui nou post, am constientizat subit ca am petrecut in Abu Dhabi aproape 5 ani de zile din viata mea. Multi, putini? N-as sti neaparat sa raspund. Poate doar suficienti. Doar la Barlad, unde m-am nascut, si la Iasi, unde mi-am petrecut anii de facultate, am trait mai mult decat in capitala Emiratelor… Read More Ce am invatat in aproape 5 ani in Abu Dhabi
Dear friends, I have been quite silent for the past month, as we have been going through some important changes that required all of my attention and energy. Some of you even wrote to ask if I was OK and I would like to thank you for your concern and care. Yes, I am OK,… Read More From Frankfurt with love!
