Kalimera. Kerkyra Journey

Greek islands and ancient mythology have always fascinated travelers. Corfu has rich history where many civilization left their mark. Where time seemed to move at a slower pace.

Grateful for the Greek food & good coffee, the Ionian Sea, and the melody of their language. What I got to see, hear, feel and live every day in Greece brought me a lot of appreciation.

In my Belgian years I tried to travel often inside the country and understand Belgium as much as possible. What I remember about Bruges is the vintage atmosphere and smell of gingerbread mixed with melancholy, where I felt like Gretel.

Paris, city of contrasts

Many books or travel guides were already written about Paris and many movies were filmed here, from ‘Before Sunset’ to ‘Amélie’. Is hard to add some new or original content, so I will just write my raw thoughts of the city about the best 7 decisions from 7 trips I took while in Paris and the ultimate cliché, since I can’t resist those.
