Behind the Adventures
So, this is us! Behind the adventures you will find two people, Lorena and Gareth. Our story doesn’t go a long way in the past as we met in this year, but sure it goes an intense, filled with joy and adventures journey. So, a little bit about ourselves would be that right now we are living in Timisoara, Romania, but as we met in a foreign country and went through a few little adventures together, we’re not so sure where our future might take us. For sure we have a big plan for next year. A 2020 filled with travels and new experiences, as we are starting the new…

Christmas in Turin
It is said the European cities are one of the best when it comes to Christmas, and I couldn’t agree more! I believe Turin is a beautiful city in Christmas and any other time of the year, as my first visit there was in autumn. I strongly recommend walking across Turin as it has a remarkable architecture all around and you never know how just like that you find yourself on another tiny street, another square or just another park. The city is beautifully constructed and in such a way that it feels like it’s a never ending one. If you get to Turin make sure to take a moment…

Cruise in the Arabian Peninsula
Going on a cruise? Yes, one of the most relaxing and exciting vacation experiences! One of the best things when going on cruise is the opportunity you have to see and explore more places, more countries and more cities. Usually a cruise is no shorter than a week and so you have several days to see a lot of places and without having to spend a lot of time in a car or a train. The cruise ship although is not very going extremely fast, it mostly travels by night, making it a better travel experience for the people on-board, as the travel time is equal to spending time in…

Living in Tenerife
Eternal sunshine, ocean breeze, infinite beaches and a forever warm spring? Yes, island living can sound like a paradise and it’s true, Tenerife does look and feel like one, but there can be some challenges. Tenerife is nicknamed as the island of eternal Spring, and indeed the weather is as close to perfect as it can be. The temperature during day is never below 20° C in Winter time and it is never over 35° C in the Summer and even so, the breeze makes it very pleasant to be outdoors. It is a volcanic island which means that you can enjoy both the sea side with some unique black…

Ski trip in the Italian Alps
Extraordinary landscapes everywhere you look that not even sea lovers can resist! Okay, you got it, I am one of the most convinced sea lovers, but that doesn’t mean that sometimes, just sometimes I enjoy a good mountain trip, enjoying the snow and the winter sports. So, the Italian Alps are one of the best destinations to do so, not only because of the extremely beautiful views and very good and well-organized ski lanes, but also for the beautiful resorts around them and all the facilities you can enjoy during your stay. Even though I’ve been there some years ago, Cortina D’ampezzo is still one of the most popular winter…

Weekend in Prague
One of the most typical and classic European city, just like you would imagine one! Prague is one of the old cities of Europe, extremely rich in tradition and culture. This particularity stands out as Czech Republic is not such and old country in its shape today. But there are loads of things to see in Prague, the old town is extremely large, and its buildings and streets do not disappoint at all. Make sure you pinpoint in advance the places you want to see, and I recommend not to skip the clock tower, the castle and its famous bridge down to town, as well as the palace’s gardens. There’s…

Work trip in Strasbourg
One of the European Union’s capital and home to the European Parliament, you can call it the city which never misses a thing. Except the political and economic power of Strasbourg, it is extremely beautiful and very pleasant to walk around. Although located in France, you will notice a strong German influence mostly in its architecture, but not only. The Alsace region where it is located, is at the border with Germany and over the years it adopted some of the traditions and culture. You already know I enjoy and advice to just walk around and admire the buildings, the streets and just the city’s vibe in general. I found…

Exploring Iceland
It is exactly what you expect and nothing like it! Iceland is one of the most spectacular countries I’ve been in, and I say this as I only had the chance to see the south part of it. Even so, as I spent most of my time in Reykjavik and the surrounding towns, I can tell that the views that you can see outside of the city and the landscape you get a glimpse of when going on the country roads are just breath taking. As I’ve got the chance to speak to a lot of locals while being there, I was told a lot about the mountain side, the…

Barcelona in autumn
Probably my favourite city of all time! You can just not get enough of the colour and the energy of this place! It makes you feel alive in all sorts of ways. Not only that is a city that is very rich in history, tradition, culture, the architecture that it is so famous for, is worth everything. I don’t think there is even a point to go on about Gaudi’s wonders as you all know about it, but I have to say that is a must to see them with your own eyes. Another great thing about Barcelona is its openness to the sea that adds a little extra something…

Discovering Azerbaijan’s seaside
Azerbaijan is one of the smallest yet one of the most impressive countries I’ve been in. I must admit that I did not know much about it or the area before getting there, but I was extremely pleasantly surprised to find out more about it. Azerbaijan is one of the three so called Caspian countries along with Armenia and Georgia, and of course it has a beautiful seaside on the Caspic Sea. The country is situated in such a way that geographically it is considered to be part of Europe, being on that side of the natural land line that divides Europe from Asia. Global position. I had the chance…
