There are [11] stories from my trip: Around the world


London - part 3

ROMANIA | Thursday, 27 Jan 2011 | Views [357]

Sunday morning, or should I say noon, found us wandering the streets of London, as usual, but we had specific goals for that day – experience the Dungeons, cross several bridges, buy souvenirs, drink Starbucks (that would have been me) and then get some ... Read more >

After some well-deserved sleep, Nana and I embarked on the journey for the second part of our business trip – a basic life support course Nana had to attend in order to get certified. So while she was enjoying the skills of first aid, I sat in the lobby ... Read more >

Last week I found myself eagerly waiting my next flight (number 41 that is) – destination London. We (Nana and me) were supposed to leave at 1.30 am in order to reach the airport in time (had to drive 60 miles after all). Thursday night I packed my ... Read more >

Germany

ROMANIA | Thursday, 27 Jan 2011 | Views [510]

I will not talk about the desire of being 40, rather than the experience that enabled me to reach my 40th flight. This time the destination was Germany. My best friend moved out there a couple of years ago with his wife and beautiful baby girl and they’ve ... Read more >

Tunisia

ROMANIA | Thursday, 27 Jan 2011 | Views [382]

As you have probably read, this year has been crazy for me – exam in February, Turkey & Israel in June, but the biggest hurdle was my surgery. Of course most people around me were more panicked than I was, but I was too preoccupied to get home as ... Read more >

Turkey and Israel

ROMANIA | Thursday, 27 Jan 2011 | Views [507]

This year started crazy – passing an exam to become an official teacher at the University, crazy schedule, working at the lab and university. So by the time summer came, I was burnt out. I needed a vacation, badly. When the parental unit offered a trip ... Read more >

USA in the winter

ROMANIA | Thursday, 27 Jan 2011 | Views [421]

Last year I wanted to go to the States, so I asked my boss if there was a chance I might get some sponsorship so I can attend a conference in Boston. Naturally the answer was NO (not a direct answer, rather a well-I-m-not-sure-it-is-possible kind of way), ... Read more >

The land of Pharaohs

ROMANIA | Thursday, 27 Jan 2011 | Views [470]

2007 was my first year of official work – sure, I’ve worked in the summer as a lifeguard and front desk clerk in the States, but this was my first JOB – the one I studied for 6 years (and left me with almost an empty head) and the one where I can learn ... Read more >

European experience

ROMANIA | Thursday, 27 Jan 2011 | Views [539]

2006 was the “Hell-year” of my life. So many things happened that I don’t even want to talk about them – those who know me well, know what I’ve gone through. But anyway, in spring I found out that, curtesy to AEGEE (a European student association) I would ... Read more >

This traveling experience began with spending New Year’s at my friends’ place in Hungary, as well as being reunited with some great friends from the US : Karen and Joelle. That NY was a memorable one, especially when we went to the hot baths at night ... Read more >

Budapest

ROMANIA | Saturday, 5 Sep 2009 | Views [414]

So far it’s my favorite city in Europe (and since I haven’t seen that much of Europe, there isn’t a really broad field for comparison). When I was there for the first time I was 13. Being my first trip abroad I was paying attention to everything around ... Read more >
