I don’t quite remember when it started, but as long as I remember something, as of the first day of my childhood, deep down there in my memories, I was always listening to music – and it was always rock’n’roll. My father have taught me what classic rock is, what speed is, what metal, trash, punk are, actually – he taught me everything about the whole specter called ‘rock music’. I grew up with Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen and Deep Purple and I have always been ‘that kind of girl’ 🙂 Commercial music, girls or boys bands have never attracted me. Daniel didn’t have the chance to learn for the classic rock music as of the beginning, but he has always been ‘that kind of boy’. I think that this actually sum up everything between us – we were (and still are) that kind of guys 🙂 So let it rock. One of my biggest dreams have always been to visit some of the greatest European rock festivals during the summer (Download, Rock am park, Rock am ring, etc.). After careful consideration and calculation, it turns out that we’re not gonna make it for big festival this year. But we could definitely at least check some of the groups that are touring Europe through the summer. /something to add here – some of our favorite bands are Americans, therefore they only tour in Europe from time to time, and this is the only way we could see/hear them live. As we don’t have plans Read More

It’s time to travel once again 🙂 This time we’re going to Ireland (Dublin and around) to check if it’s true that Irish weather could gather the whole four seasons in a day. Let me save your time wondering – yes, it can and it’s on and on – four seasons in a single day every day  🙂 Having in mind that, I have just checked for the best price for our flights and didn’t actually consider weather forecast. I was not disappointed, as mentioned above, weather was exactly what we’re expecting – rainy, shiny, windy, coldly, warmly and so on. Whenever you’re wondering if you should take this jacket in mid May in you luggage – yes, you should. If you should take spare pair of shoes – yes, you should. If you should take couple of light T-shirts – yes, you should. Basically you should pack everything, except the swimwear 🙂 We have booked small flat through airbnb once again – everything was perfectly fine. Just to mention that hotel prices in Dublin are almost insane, as in Copenhagen in Denmark. Otherwise, prices in Dublin are pretty decent, not really expensive and much cheaper than I expected. Which was of course, a good surprise for us. Souvenirs and other stuffs not so much, but overall pricing in Ireland is pretty fine. Dublin itself is not really big city, especially compared with other European capitals. There are numerous of old buildings, small neighbors of small houses with even smaller backyards, pretty much idyllic. Most Read More

Our summer breaks are sacred. We have limited time to relax and we are waiting 3 seasons to reach warmest months in Europe, so… to have really nice vacation is a top priority for me. We’re already too old to go camping and too tired of nasty, dirty and overcrowded beaches here in Bulgaria, so the last couple of years we’re always traveling abroad at least twice during the summer. After more than 10 years in Greece, for our first 2017 summer vacation abroad we choose to check Spanish Mediterranean. I looked all over the offers I was able to find, but all of them were for one and the same location and I didn’t like it at all. Plus the hotels were really awful. After careful consideration, a lot of trip advisers and wonder, we have picked up Santa Susana – small village near Barcelona. It seemed nice and on an hour and half distance from Barcelona where we have never been. So, I was having the opportunity to mix my travel and summer break appetite and have it both at once.  I booked a lovely (pretty expensive) (shame on me) hotel through booking.com and I can tell you something – it was worth it. It was clean, room big enough for 4 just for the 2 of us, nice breakfast, good coffee, friendly staff and located right in front of the beach and to the main street. It was also on 3 minutes walking distance to the train station. Now, let’s get back Read More

It took me one year to finally reach our 2017 trips. Well, it took me this time mostly because I’m bit lazy and I’m always able to find reason why I’m not doing something instead of actually doing it… but however, let’s go back to Denmark. It was almost Christmas (back in 2016) when I have decided to book a trip to somewhere as a gift for Daniel (I already told you – I’m the best girlfriend ever). I was checking the North and was wondering if we should go to Sweden, Denmark or Norway. It turns out that there is huge aquarium in Copenhagen (National Aquarium Denmark – Den Bla Planet). It was pretty easy to decide where to go after knowing that 🙂  We took early afternoon 3+ hours flight to Copenhagen and landed there thinking we’re most probably going to die from cold as late spring temperatures in whole Scandinavia are up to 13-15 degrees Celsius. Well, not at all. It was like 25 degrees and sun was shining all over that astonishing country.  We caught the metro from the airport to the apartment we rented for couple of Danish crones (public transport in Copenhagen is great!). I have used airbnb once again to book a flat, and once again I didn’t have any troubles with the place and the organization. Having in mind that hotel prices in Copenhagen are absolutely insane, our deal in airbnb was closest to what I can accept as ‘normal’. Let me tell you something about Copenhagen – Read More

It was January (2016) and I was unemployed (best time of my life – I’ve been working since when I was 16…). I was desperate but not because I was unemployed, damn no – I was in desperate need to go somewhere.  We were looking for a new home to buy, and we were desperate for that as well, as we weren’t able to find any. I was bored (what the hell was I thinking?!) and one day I told Daniel something like ‘Look, we need to book a flight to somewhere soon otherwise I’ll go crazy here!’ so… we booked a flight to Eindhoven as a cheapest point to reach Amsterdam in May. 2 months later I got new job, we found our place and shit got real. However, we told our real estate agent that we’re having a trip during May so any contracts we should sign must be signed afterwards. (By the way this was sort of mistake, but I’ll tell you that story later) (I think I’m saying that pretty often, yeah?) And I have told my new employer that I’m having a trip, so I need vacation right after I start. They agreed. Back to the trip, I have checked that Netherlands’ weather is quite awful all the time, so there is a big chance to be rainy in May. But summer tickets (with better chance of sunny weather) were too expensive for my unemployed budget, so I booked late May hoping for the best. Let me tell you something – Read More
