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.
