WHY SHOULD YOU VISIT MONTENEGRO?

By -
After a long absence due to being in the middle of three jobs, I decided to get back to my travel writing hobby.

Today I want to tell you about the trip I had in June to Montenegro.
I am this type of person that plans the most amazing trips on the last minute and.... by myself. It was a weekend in June, had some days off because of some national holidays in Romania and I was thinking that I NEED to go somewhere (you know that feeling of ''escaping''). So, as I based in Timisoara (Romania, close to Hungary and Serbia) it is easier to get into European countries by any means of transportation.
So, I booked the Timisoara-Belgrade train, then Belgrade-Budva bus. The train tickets were booked locally at a very low rate through an offer called ''Banat Special'', designed to promote the tourism for Romania and Serbia. The bus ticket from Belgrade to Budva was booked here, for only 18 euro per way!
I got safe to Budva (booked a hostel in advance), enjoyed the sun, the water and got home full of energy and already planning the next trip.

Budva was full of young people, a lot of Russians (they do not need a visa to travel to Montenegro), the locals have poor English language skills (however, very good Russian. If you handling the Russian language just a bit, you are saved- as I was :))) )

Based on my experience, here are some tips for you:

1. Try the local beer, which is mad since 1896 (and everyone is taking price in that)

2. Try the stuff peppers, those are....delicious!


3. If you are scared that you will get lost and will not find the sea, do not worry. You have the duck way! YAY!

4. Budva is the place where your boyfriend is happy and/ or your girlfriend is happy. Why? You have the mountain and the sea in the same place, so if he wants to hike and you want to stay in the sun, you are in the PERFECT place!



5. The panoramic views are FANTASTIC 





6. The historical narrow streets are like a walk in the past.




7. And the sea views are not bad at all







Is Montenegro on your bucket list?

HOW DID ROMANIA CHANGE THE WORLD?

The Dracula's country (this is the symbol we are known mostly worldwide) has more to offer than you ever could have imagined. We has as neighbors the Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Hungary, Ukraine and Bulgaria.  Usually, you have no reasons to get out of the country when is about travelling: we have the Black Sea on the East mountains on the middle and the North of the country, fields on the West. The medieval cities kept their structure (like Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu, which is an amazing one).  In 2007, Sibiu was the European Capital of Culture and for 2019 wants to be the European Region of Gastronomy. But the question is, what do you think of when you say ''Romania''? Before you answer, here are some details not all people know: 1. Petrache Poenaru invented world's first fountain pen. photo: http://www.cunoastelumea.ro/ 2. The Romanian scientist Nicolae Paulescu invented the insulin.  photo: http://www.rounite.com/ 3. The

HOW AMERICA IS DOING IT DIFFERENTLY

I had the chance to spend over a month in the US the last December and what I can say is that never stops surprising me. It was not my first time there, I have been in the States for one year in 2008 as an exchange student in Michigan. I remember few things when I was in 2008 in Michigan as an exchange student.  My first day of school: nice pants, a nice shirt and high heels. I got to school and the students were wearing  T-Shirts, a pair of converse and end of story.  I was wearing shirts, skirts a lot of times and I was asked if there is a special even today, maybe it is my birthday. This was a real cultural shock. However, being based on my experiences, now I see the culture shock differently. And this is how American lifestyle transited my latest travel experience: 1. People DO NOT walk . I mean, walk from one side to another of the city. If they see you walking, this means you got lost. Interesting, huh? Tested it myself, however you can see a few of them on t

TIPS FOR STORING YOUR LUGGAGE IN VENICE

Venice- the city with 118 islands, and 417 bridges 72 of which are private has a lot to offer no matter of the low or high season. Today I will share with you how I got to Venice and where I left my luggage for a day trip within the city. I took the overnight train from Rome to Venice, however, I will admit this was not a brilliant idea. The slow train is not worth the traveling time and gets out all of your energy. I booked my tickets with Loco2  as they had a better offer than TrenItalia.  Book your trip as soon as you have decided on your dates because the prices are increasing tremendously from one day to another. It seems that they are subject to availability (for example, today you can get a ticket Rome-Venice for 9 euros and in a week it can go up to 50 euros). So, first, check Train Italia and if the options are not as expected, try some agencies, like Loco2. Our train departed at 22:35 and arrived at 05:20. A bit early, huh? That's why I recommend departing a
