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. I spent 48 hours in this beautiful capital of Tuscany. But I could imagine spending more, because there is so much to explore! It first comes as a […]
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 […]

Sziget Festival 2016 – Final Day on the Island of Freedom
The last day on the Island of Freedom promised yet another full day of programmes including the end show with Hardwell and fireworks. 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 […]

The adventures on the Island of Freedom are nearing their final hours but there is no need to be sad! Because it is quite not over yet. The sixth day of Sziget Festival 2016 brought over UK bands to the Dan Panaitescu Main Stage and the night program was closed by Sia from Australia. Do […]
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 […]
Sziget Festival 2016 – amusing Muse and amazing atmosphere
The first half of the Sziget week is over and if you think that Szitizens are getting tired, they are not! The parties run all night long, and the Island of Freedom got again sold out! When I was walking through the island late at night, I realised that these festival goers do not even […]
