Fairytale Gent
During our last weekend in Belgium we decided to go to Gent instead of Bruges and didn’t regret it at all. Gent is literally stunning: big old city area, cobblestone streets, dark-red tiled roofs… You breath the history in every corner. Less words, more pictures… […]
Mini-road-trip through Balcans
Easter holidays in Germany are pretty long: four days. “Why not to add another two days off and make a full-value trip through some of the Balcan countries?”, we thought and booked a round trip Berlin-Skopje-Berlin. […]
Cuba. Part 3: Cuba’s beaches
I promised to write about 10 cities on Cuba we explored, but today I’m more in a mood to reminisce about Cuban beaches with turquoise water. We’ve been to five of them and they are all very different and worth a visit. […]
Cuba. Part 2: Travelling from A to B (transport on Cuba)
After solving the problem with accommodation on Cuba (I wrote about it in my previous post), the second question arises: “How to get from A to B possibly quick, cheap and comfortable?” First, these three notions cannot be combined on Cuba (yet, who knows what it will look like there in 10 years). Second, transport on Cuba is a very [...]
Cuba. Part 1: Prepare for the trip and find a place to sleep (about casas)
Cuba was one of the most spontaneous and still very desirable and expected destinations. Our friend asked us in the middle of January if we like to fly with him to Cuba next month. We weighted the options, pros and contras and decided to book – literally, to run away from rainy and cloudy Berlin to a sunny island. Besides, [...]
Iran. Part 3: about the food, places of interest and some remarkable facts about Iran and Iranians…
The last part about our trip to Iran, the last and the longest one. About the food, places of interest and some remarkable facts about Iran and Iranians. […]
Iran. Part 2: about the right dress-code, correct behavior, hotels and photography
Dress-code (for ladies) Probably, the most exciting subject for those who thinks of going to Iran. Dress-code for women exists, that’s true. However, it is not so strict as many of us imagine. Quran demands some level of modesty from both men and women. Hijab – a scarf that covers head and shoulders and therefore prevents women from direct gazes [...]
Как поменять заграничный паспорт в Берлине.
Так как путешествую я очень активно, и россиянам почти везде для въезда в страну нужны визы, страницы в моем заграничном паспорте закончились быстрее, чем его срок действия. Встал вопрос о замене паспорта. Решился он довольно просто и безболезненно по сравнению с другими бюрократическими задачами. […]
Iran: prepare for your trip. Part 1: about visa, money, transport and language
Visa Until the very last moment we were doubting if we had to apply for a visa in advance in Berlin or not. We decided against it. In fact, to get a visa on arrival was very easy. Our flight landed in Tehran at 2 o’clock at night and we didn’t have to wait in a line. We submitted our [...]
