NYC: The city that Never Sleeps
I went to New York city last year. I also missed Seville's famous April fair for this trip but it was worth it. I would do it again for many years more. New York is a city that you can't see in a week and if you want to enjoy it to the maximum, not even in ten days....

Versailles
I have always like photography. It's one of my hobbies. When I decided on France as the destination to spend my Erasmus, I only saw in my head those beautiful picture cards (which we are all perfectly familiar with) of this beautiful country; twilights from the Seine, a...

On one of our first days of exploring the culinary secrets of this country, Katherine and I encountered some very curious small buns which here, they call crumpets. What are they exactly? They are soft and spongy with many holes. They will measure about 7cm in diameter...

'And what the hell is this about Freshers' week? ' we all asked ourselves a few days ago when we were proclaimed freshers everywhere, as well as the upcoming events and parties. Well then, the Freshers are the newbies, the ones who just got to University. In an attempt...

Finnish Lapland: Challenge completed
Travelling to Lapland isn't easy. First of all, this is because it's a far away destination and it's normally very cold; secondly, it's not cheap (if you want to travel from Spain); and thirdly, because you have to go with a good equipment of clothing (there, even the...

The imperial palace and the Tokyo Tower
We planned to go and see the imperial palace on the third day. Again, it can be observed that Tokyo is a city full of never-ending gigantic parks. The imperial palace forms a part of it. We walked a great deal and we only saw a minuscule part of it in the end. There...
