Have dreams, will travel.
Hong Kong — one of my favourite destinations around. I made my way to there back in winter of 2018 for a week.

In May 2015 I arrived at the bus station in Sofia, Bulgaria around 4:30am.

Amongst the greatest treasures of the ancient world is the Acropolis of Athens. This "high city" (Greek for acropolis) is one of the few remaining building complexes of ancient Greece to still be standing in such good condition. Not bad for buildings that were constructed during the Bronze Age, though the history shows us that... Continue Reading →
Ireland may be my favourite country but Paris is my favourite city. I find her ridiculously beautiful!
