Cambridge

This is my last post about favourite places. Don't misunderstand me, I like big cities like Paris and New York. In these three posts I wanted to write about the places that make me feel like home. Cambridge is where I live now and all I can say is that I find myself quite attached to this little town. It makes you feel like you're living in a novel and every corner smells like "history". This post is meant to be simple and natural because of the instant photos taken in different days which pretty much sum up my life here.

Enjoy!

Such a bad picture of King's Chapel. Next time I will take my camera.

This photo is from this post. Remember?

Transylvania

As many of you may know, Transylvania is a historical region in Romania which is surrounded by the Carpathian mountain range and Apuseni Mountains. Something about this place is magical: old towns, mountains and the countryside is just like in fairy tales. For me this place is like travelling back in time and rediscovering the history. Every time I visit its towns I have a very simple schedule. So, in the morning I visit as many historical places as I can: museums, castles and fortresses. During lunch time, I go and have a lunch in one of the city centres. Then I just walk around and admire the old buildings' architecture. In the afternoon I go to my accommodation which is usually situated in the countryside and relax for the rest of the day. Or I go straight home, it depends which town I choose to visit.

And no! No, my darlings there are no vampires! So, live your garlic together with your fears at home.

Here are some pictures I took last year.

P.S. I don't know why most of the photos are randomly arranged. When I try to edit them they look fine, but when I post them is a different story. Does anyone know how to sort it out?

And the cherry on top of the cake are the beautiful castles and I obviously didn't take pictures for some reason. I will leave some link where you can find Peles Castle, Pelisor Castle and the famous Bran Castle.

Enjoy!

LONDON

I have decided to write a few posts about my favourite places in the world. So, here I go starting with London.

Once upon a time there was a little girl and her biggest dream was to live in wonderful London. I grew up and I'm still fascinated by the heart of the United Kingdom. I like the idea of getting lost in the beautiful streets of London, admiring old buildings' architecture and breathing the monarchic air. This is how I take part in the magic fairy tale and enjoy it step by step every time I get the chance to visit it. Of course, it's dangerous sometimes and has its bad sides like every big city, but this is how I see it.

So, here are some "tourist" pictures from the last time I've been there with my friends.
