Cappadocia

Turkey.- What’s on your bucket list? A balloon ride was certainly on mine. But not any balloon ride… I wanted to fly over Cappadocia! After seeing so many photos and videos, how could I help it? It was a dream, eager to come true. Two years ago I was planning my 30’s birthday. The idea was to celebrate with a trip, so I asked my closest friends and travel partners for their thoughts. It was easy, one of them said Greece, and automatically everyone agreed. Truth to be told, since we know each other, we have been talking about going to Greece one summer and never really planning it. So, it was set. Decided. Agreed. We would go to Greece! But, wait… just Greece? Don’t get me wrong, Greece is so worthy, but I wanted to take as much days off as possible and travel as many places I could! As I usually do when planning my trips… we went to Google Maps. We opened it on Greece and then started going further and seeing which places we had around. I normally do this so I don’t miss any options out there. And there it was… Turkey. And Turkey meant Read More…

  • I think we, the travelers by heart, the ones that can’t stay still and have that constant urge to meet the world, have an advantage. Traveling opens your mind, teaches you constantly about culture, history and nature, and makes you conscious about what we are doing and how our impact can save us or damage us. And we, the ones that can tell the difference, have the obligation to do something and try to make our planet a healthy one ☺️ Lets take care of our world... we only have one! Happy Earth Day! Ph: Ushuaia. Tierra del Fuego. Argentina. . . Creo que nosotros, los que somos viajeros con el alma, que no podemos quedarnos quietos y que siempre tenemos dentro esa pasion por recorrer el mundo, poseemos una gran ventaja. Viajar te abre la cabeza, continuamente te esta enseñando sobre cultura, historia y naturaleza, y nos hace ser mas conscientes de lo que hacemos y como eso impacta todo lo que nos rodea. Y somos nosotros, los que podemos notar la diferencia, los que tenemos la obligacion de hacer algo al respecto y cuidar a nuestro planeta. Cuidemoslo bien, es el unico que tenemos! Feliz dia de la Tierra! Ph: Ushuaia. Tierra del Fuego. Argentina.

  • "What screws us up most in life is the picture in our head of how it's supposed to be".- A.K.A. the photos all over #Instagram and #Pinterest ☺️ . And I'm not sure who said that, but totally applies to this #traveltuesday post. Nowadays, we get enormous amounts of information. We search for travel tips and data to plan our trips and we look at so many pictures of the places we are going to visit. And I still believe that is a great resource for a better planning and decision making, but... what happens when you drive almost 2 extra hours, even schedule your time so well to arrive there by sunset for better picture taking... and you find out that the place is not exactly as you imagined it to be? 😱 and worst is packed with TOURISTIC BUSSES!!! 😫 Big, reddish tourist busses covering all the view. 😭 This was the only picture I managed to take from only half the road and with a little help of photoshop later. I wanted so badly to see the "Road to King's Landing" 😥 The place is actually called the Dark Hedges, and located in Northern Ireland. But got a little famous now after Game Of Thrones used it as film location. Guess I am not the only GOT fan who wanted to visit this spot, right? 🤦‍♀️ After my #epictripfail my advise to you is, if you want to really see and enjoy this place, go early in the morning!!! Really early.. thats when those nice picture you are seeing online were really taken. If not, do not waste your time driving there, unless you are already in the area. Ph: Dark Hedges.

  • Beautiful Kenwood House 💕 Formerly a state home, Kenwood House is located on the edge of Hampstead Heath, in London. It served as a seat for the aristocratic Murray and Guinness families and had various tenants. Today, is one of those hidden gems that are open to the public for us to visit and enjoy. Ideal for warm days, so you can also take advantage of the huge park that surrounds the house. It may not be a place to put on your list if you are a first time tourist in London. But if you have the extra time, you should think of visiting this English Heritage Site, as you can also enjoy beautiful panoramic views of London at Hampstead on your way up. Ph: Kenwood House. Hampstead Heath. London. UK. . . La Hermosa mansion Kenwood 💕 Esta mansion aristocratica, ubicada en los bordes de Hamsptead Heath, en Londres, albergo a las familias Murray y Guinness, asi como tambien a otros terratenientes. Hoy es una de estas joyitas que estan abiertas al publico, para visitarlas y deleitarnos con su historia. Es ideal para dias calidos, para poder tambien sacar ventaja del gran parque que la rodea. Quizas este lugar no sea un must para aquellos que viajen a Londres por primera vez, pero si llegaran a tener un poquito de tiempo extra tenganlo en cuenta. Las vistas panoramicas a Londres desde el parque tambien son un dato a considerar. Ph: Mansion Kenwood. Hamsptead Heath. Londres. Inglaterra.
