Florence (Firenze) was the next stop of my grand tour through Italy. A city I have been excited about since I learnt about the Renaissance at school.

Road trip through Italy – packing, flying and getting lost in Venice
It has been my dream to see Italy beyond Rome, and to experience it at my own pace. I have already been to Venice, but it was during summer (read: crowds and terribly hot). When I saw that Ryanair has a 10 EUR flight to Treviso, I didn’t hesitate too much. Although, the original plan […]

The weather forecast was also showing a giant storm coming on the Sziget Festival around the time of the end show, just like last year. What a coincidence! I started off my […]

Sziget Festival 2016 – David Guetta and the Magic Mirror
How does a Sunday at Sziget Festival 2016 look like? Well, like any other day. Except that you do not really know it is Sunday. It seems that people are no longer getting lost, and the Szitizens were lucky one more time because it did not rain at night. What did the fifth day of […]
