Cyprus

Cyprus is a peaceful island located at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. Its mild weather, pristine beaches and delicious food attract thousands of tourists each year. However, most people don’t know that 40% of the island is occupied by Turkey, forming a “de facto” state which is not recognized. Learn more about the Cyprus War and what is Northern Cyprus like.

Ukraine

While the Russian invasion is still ongoing and the threat to millions of Ukrainians is still present with daily shellings that kill thousands of innocent civilians, some non-Ukrainian travelers dare to cross the border to discover how life is unfolding in Ukraine. Watch our story.

Georgia

Georgian culture is one of the world’s richest. Its history, its food, its people, its traditions — it is hardly matchable. However, its heritage is not as strong as its political stability the ongoing Russian occupation and the protests of March 2023 are deeply changing the Caucasian country. I crossed the country to learn more about it and found multiple surprises. Don’t miss it.

Moldova

As the war was raging in Ukraine, I decided to check on its neighboring country — Moldova. Putin has also threatened to reach this country and the airspace was closed for a long time. How are people holding up? Check the vibrant capital city of Chisinau and the interesting autonomous region of Gagauzia.

The Arctic

An exhaustive search of cheap flights took me to the Arctic Circle for just 30€. I wasn’t ready at all for the stunning landscapes, nor the crazy frozen mountain where I almost get in serious trouble. North Norway is really an experience.

Southern Balkans

Perhaps the most intense region in Europe, for sure the most interesting one. We backpacked for one week around Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Albania.

Bosnia (Srpska Republic) and Zagreb

The alarm of a possible new war in Bosnia has been set off by the media. I traveled to Banja Luka, the capital of the separatist region, in order to see the escalation of nationalism by myself.

Finland and Estonia

Amid the raging tensions in Eastern Europe between Russia and its neighbors, we went on a trip to the freezing Gulf of Finland. First, Helsinki, then a ferry to Tallinn and finally a train to Narva, the Russian-Estonian border.

Istanbul

The largest city in Europe and probably the most diverse. I went from Europe to Asia by metro, cool huh?

Napoli

I traveled to Napoli to try out the allegedly best pizza in the world. Also, I rediscovered the city in winter – castles, fancy streets and more!

Bulgaria

Started in the fancy coast of the Black Sea in Varna and hopped in the 8-hour train to the capital, Sofia. Bulgaria really has it all.

Montenegro & Poland

From the ex-Yugoslavian streets of Podgorica to the Hanseatic buildings of Gdansk. My weirdest weekend ever.

A quick trip to the country with free public transportation and the birthplace of Karl Marx.

A weekend trip to the hidden gem of Sweden. Lovely streets, free waffles and calm after my trip to The Gambia. Watch my vertical video!

Lille and Amsterdam

Following cheap Ryanair tickets, I ended up in a bizarre trip. Lille is better than what you expect. Also, I had to “illegally” cross Belgium in order to get to The Netherlands. Just one more COVID-19 trip.

Northern Italy

July 2021, my friends and I were supposed to go to Morocco on a trip which got cancelled two weeks before due to COVID-19. We had to figure out a new trip and the idea came in. Milan, Verona and Venice, their names speak for themselves.

Corfu

Also known as the “Green Emerald”. It had been in my checklist for a while. Definitely the most unique island in Greece. Birthplace of many members of royal families around the world. You won’t believe its beaches.
