  Budapest is also one of those cities that reminds one of walking. The walks are not too long, the scenery keeps on alternating every few minutes and there is no way you feel not stopping every turn. My first day here, I meant I would go out and have a one hour walk. Three hours after, but still satisfied, I understood that Budapest had simply dragged me to it.   You should leave the metro map aside and begin walking in order to get the flavour of the city. These are the paths which made me fall in love with Budapest.   The Danube Promenade (Pest Side)   It is the path that everybody must walk at least once. Begin at or close to Elisabeth Bridge and walk northwards to the Parliament.   The Danube is serenely taking its flow next to you and the hills of Buda opposite. You will cross the Shoes on the Danube memorial, the silent and impressive place that makes you slow down and think. This is a flat path that is easy and suitable to the first time ...

  I remember when “sustainable travel” started appearing everywhere, usually next to stock photos of linen shirts and bamboo toothbrushes. It felt like branding more than behaviour. Something you opted into if you had the time, money, or patience. That framing doesn’t hold up anymore. Sustainable travel isn’t a movement you join. It’s a response to reality. Overcrowded cities. Strained infrastructure. Places that quietly change shape under the weight of too many visitors moving too quickly. You notice it when buses are full before locals can board, when water pressure drops in summer, when entire neighbourhoods feel temporary. What’s changed is awareness, not morality. Most travellers I meet aren’t trying to be “eco”. They’re trying to travel without feeling like a burden. They want trips that feel lighter — less rushed, less extractive, less disposable. Sustainability fits because it answers practical problems, not because it sounds virtuous. Staying longer is cheaper an...

  Many of us think that booking a flight is simply finding the lowest price, packing our bags, and there you go. Many people don’t even bother to compare a few options. When they see a number that they were looking for and feel is right, they just book the right way without a second thought. This habit is understandable, but it leads to many issues later on. That’s why a flight booking guide is essential. We are going to share some tips regarding it, so let’s jump into our topic. Flight Price s Flight prices change constantly, and the majority of the time, people overlook how flexible their travel dates actually are. If you plan your flight earlier or later, the cost can change without you realizing why. Early departures and late arrivals tend to cost less, though they can affect how tired you feel when the trip starts.   Baggage Rules Matter Some flight tickets look cheaper at first when you book them. Later, you found that it only includes the seat itself, and ca...

  The winter in Paris is so quiet and magical that it is the dream of the photographer.   There is not so crowd the streets shine after the rain, and the light of winter illuminates everything with its golden light.   I recall the first winter I spent in Paris, when I was walking around taking photos with my camera, and the photos were like on a postcard. Each of the corners appeared to be a story.   Montmartre   In winter Montmartre is like going back in time. The cobblestone pavements are nearly deserted at the beginning of the day, and the white snow on the roofs makes a bonus of beauty.   I was fond of taking pictures of the artists' square and the Sacre-Coeur Basilica with naked trees. These foggy mornings give a soft dreamy effect which is ideal in taking moody shots. The Seine and Its Bridges   Nothing comes like strolling along the Seine with a camera in your hand. The river in winter is presented as a reflection of de...

 Christmas in New York makes you feel that you have entered a movie set and nobody knows to call action. All is exaggerated, like the city is aware that it is being scrutinized and throws itself wholeheartedly into the game.   You may come to believe that the magic is enhanced by the movies, but as soon as December comes, you know that it is barely the tip of the iceberg.   Everything is different with the first snowfall. It falls on the streets like a light white dust, the yellow taxis become friendlier, and the steam rises out of the subway vents like adjustable billboards.   When you are walking in Manhattan during cold weather, when you are in a coat, you half expect to hear a soundtrack of the ones you have heard before. You cannot but think of all the scenes you have seen at holiday time there year after year.   Note: Make sure to check  Meet And Greet At Stansted   during the winter when travelling and book according to your needs. Limit...

  The first thing that comes to you is the smell. It is rich, creamy, and even a bit nutty, and flows into the air way before you can even see the cheese. Going to the traditional cheese markets of Alkmaar and Gouda is not only about trying food. It is entering a living tradition that the Netherlands has so dearly kept for centuries.   It was my first experience in Alkmaar, at the beginning of a Friday morning. The square was already wittering with silent excitement. Wire after wire of the same cheese in the form of perfectly round balls was stacked like golden pieces under the sky.   Men, wearing crisp white clothes and straw hats, strode with unbelievable speed with cheeses on wooden stretchers. The audience stood in awe, with cameras cocked to shoot, yet there was a feeling of reverence, as well.   When roaming the market, I paused at small stalls where samples were available. One of the salespeople gave me a slice of young Gouda, and I smiled, trying ...
