Magical Andalucía

Spain is one of the most visited countries in the world. The streets of Barcelona or Madrid are filled with tourist masses all year around, the beaches of Malaga are packed as hell. I was looking for something different. And that is how I ended up in Andalusia. This autonomous community in the south-west of Spain is home to many historical places like Sevilla, Cadiz or Ronda, and their atmosphere is hard to beat.

Colors of Morocco

Hot sand between your toes, cold nights in sleeping bags, Morocco is one of the most diverse countries I’ve ever been to.

Autumn in Copenhagen

Early sunsets, outdoor cafés, hidden gems with cobblestone streets and falling leaves. Copenhagen is magical during the Autumn season, and it reminds me of the words of Connie Nielsen, who once said:
