  • Trip to Andalusia, early to bed out of spite

    The highlight of our trip to Andalusia was in the second part, when we went to Malaga, and especially Cordoba, Granada, and Seville. I thought it was a crime that I had not yet been to such a beautiful area, especially because of the wonderful mix of Arab and European architecture. Cordoba Accustomed to going…

  • Travel mishaps, risk of sleeping under a bridge in Abu Dhabi (where there are no bridges)

    A classic snag in travel is not finding lodging. In Abu Dhabi it also happened to me because. I was without an Internet connection. The cost of living in Arab countries frightens many travelers. Avoiding restaurants, considering the convenience of public transportation, and taking an outside look at the major sites, there is only one…

  • The frozen sea, that time I ate the reindeer (not Santa’s)

    Walking on the frozen sea for me, born and raised in a warm sea, has always been a myth. I already loved going to the sea in winter, especially with snow, but walking right on it was a dream. Comparison with colleagues I first went to Sweden with a particular company. I had participated in…

  • Traveling in Western Europe, feeling like home

    We used to be more different When I started traveling in Western Europe it still felt like going to other worlds. There were borders and you were asked for documents; currencies were different and you had to change money also because credit cards were used less; it cost a fortune to make phone calls. People…

  • The land of smurfs was the classic lesser-known stop to which I so aspired, however. Arriving in Seville at night, we rented a car the next morning and left immediately to visit the smaller places before devoting ourselves to the major cities. This part of Spain in particular is really nice to do by car…

  • Travel setback – flooded in the Arabian Peninsula

    The Flood A major travel snag characterized my first day in Oman. The plan was to have an interlude in the Emirates. I would have my flight to Abu Dhabi in mid-afternoon and thus plenty of time to leave my large backpack in the airport depot and visit the large mosque that is nearby. But…

  • Vacation companions: clubbing without shoes

    I first went to the Dolomites in winter during my college years; together with fellow vacationers, rather than travelers that time. In those years traveling was not so important to me; everything revolved around friends. My recreational events were completely oriented toward dinners, discos and sports. I often went to the stadium (in the picture…

  • Going to the Dolomites: the most beautiful mountains in the world

    As a child, going to the Dolomites was the vacation, the only one of the year, with my parents. I went there other times as a boy with friends, and in July 2021 solo for a very thorough tour of the towns in the area as well. I can say that my all-too-recent interest in…

  • Problem with low cost – screwed like a chicken

    If the outward journey was characterized by the wise little girl, the return was worse. I had a problem with low cost, but I was the naive one, despite having made dozens of trips with them. The so-called low-cost When flying with so-called low-cost, or perhaps more correct to say former low-cost, airlines, one should…

  • Life and death in the Medina – things to do in Marrakech

    There are many things to do in Marrakech, so for my first time in Morocco I decided to devote 3 full days to it. I went there in March 2024 and solo. It was a destination that had fascinated me ever since I saw the famous film by Gabriele Salvatores. I left on Easter Saturday…
