Fuel your life with wanderlust
I am a big fan of the Italian language and really really hope to learn it one day. I was looking for a budget escape in Italy…I started with Rome, but found it way too expensive for a long weekend, then Venice, but could not find a good deal and decided to head to Pisa and Florence. Who hasn’t seen ”Under the Tuscan sun” and hasn’t dreamt of sun, cypresses, and wine tasting in Romantique Firenze?
Since I live in the Netherlands I was always wondering if the Tulip fields really exist and if they are reachable by car or public transport or you can only admire them on the beautiful pictures.
Have you ever thought what’s going to happen if our world becomes more connected and more transparent than right now? With the web, social media, drones and all kind of ratings, our lives can be exposed and shown every single minute and every single step can be commented, liked or disliked. That’s what Mae Holland experiences in “The Circle” by Dave Eggers.
I just came back from my trip to Minsk in Belarus and can’t wait to share my top 10 reasons to visit Minsk. You would be surprised how many things you can do and see in the Belarusian capital.
Recently I read the article ”22 Ambassadors Recommend the One Book to Read Before Visiting Their Country”, the list being very interesting and offering interesting books from countries like Azerbaijan and Bhutan among others. So I was thinking ”Which book would I recommend to somebody planning to visit Bulgaria?”. There are emblematic Bulgarian classics translated worldwide, but a big part of them talk about Bulgaria under the Ottoman occupation which is an interesting part of Bulgarian history and past, but it’s not really a suitable reading for somebody looking to discover Bulgarian traditions, beauty, and culture as a tourist.
