A quick guide to Lanzarote, Canary Islands

April 3, 2014

Do you have a travel “bucket” list? You know, the kind of list where you mentally write down the places you want to visit in your life. I don’t exactly have such a list, but there are a few places that I’d love to visit like Japan and California. One thing’s for sure: the Canary Islands weren’t on this list. But when the opportunity arose to visit one of them I hopped on board. I’m exaggerating a bit here, as I only visited one island, that being Lanzarote. It isn’t the most renowned island of the bunch such as Tenerife…

An essential guide to Paris

March 12, 2014

First time I visited Paris was back in 1993. I was hardly 9 and was hyped about visiting Paris. We arrived by train (from Luxembourg) in Gare de l’Est and honestly as the train entered Paris – from a not-so-flattering angle and neighborhood – I was thinking that maybe the hype was just, you know, hype…My opinion though quickly changed after we took the metro to Passy (near Trocadero), were our hotel was located. The rest is history and Paris is my favorite city (*like ever*) despite the fact that I’ve visited London more times. It has an allure, openness,…

Statement Necklace

February 27, 2014

The Look Statement necklaces is the one accessory that will always be in my wardrobe no matter what. Their shapes and styles may change…they won’t always be flashy and chunky…but they will make a statement none the less. This particular bold necklace was bought from Accessorize this past fall. Let’s say that it was a gift to myself for my birthday! It can be worn with so many different tops. I like it particularly paired with a denim shirt, but this neon top from H&M is the next best thing. And it’s more spring appropriate, no? I finished off the…

Guildford, Surrey

February 25, 2014

It seems that I have an unwritten pact with myself to visit as many British towns and villages as possible. It all started actually back in 2005 when I set my foot in Lancaster for my masters degree. Since then I’ve visited so many places in the UK, south, north, middle…you name it! Most of my travel posts are on my old blog, but slowly I’ll get them transferred to this one. Anyways…one of the latest additions on the list is Guildford in Surrey, which I visited in November during my latest trip in the country. On the day we…

Hyde Park, London

January 15, 2014

Coming from a city with no big parks and definitely no squirrels, I’m always excited to walk on parks like the Hyde Park in London. It’s a great place to unwind while sightseeing in the city. It would be ideal to visit the park during spring when the flowers are blooming, but I find it equally beautiful during the fall. A few of my favorite places within the park are the Serpentine and the Long Water, the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain, which is pretty cool I dare say and The Lido, the perfect spot for a light lunch…

4 day itinerary in London

December 2, 2013

I admit that to this day, London is the city I’ve visited more times, except for Athens, which is my home town. This month I visited the British capital for the 14th time in my life so far. If you follow me on Instagram you surely got a glimpse from my whereabouts in London, but here is a more “complete” itinerary of the things I’ve seen and done in 4 days (ideal for first timers as well). Day 1 The first day started with the “classics”: Strolling by the Houses of Parliament, snapping a photo with London Eye (which for the record I’ve…

7 Things I enjoyed in New York City

October 31, 2013

As the train approached New York City, I was glued to the window to catch a glimpse of this grand city. It was dark so the only thing I could see was lights. The first thing that caught my eye was the Empire State Building. Classic I know…The first thing I did after settling in my hotel was to walk to Times Square, which were “merely” 5 blocks away, not your average blocks though! Because of the hype and the popularity of NYC, even walking those blocks meant A LOT to me…needless to say, if I had a “bucket list”…
