Lisbon, Belem and Cascais Portugal – Part 2

Lisbon, Portugal – Part 1

Posted on 3 January , 2012 | 20 CommentsParis is admittedly not really my favourite city in Europe, but it is still magnificent. My first time to Paris, I was bitten by oak leaf mites within a day,... -
Madrid Spain: The Sights & Overview
Posted on 20 December , 2011 | 5 CommentsI didn’t hate or like Madrid, to be honest. I liked some parts of it, hated others, but in general I’m pretty neutral on the whole city. I’m pretty sure... -
