Discover Tenerife from A to Z: What to Do, See & Eat In Tenerife
4 October, 2019, I remember the first time I set foot on this magical island – the warm sun on my skin, the salty sea breeze in my hair, and the vibrant colors that seemed to dance all around me. It was as if I had been transported to a world that was both familiar and enchanting, and I knew right then and there that I had found my paradise. It’s been almost four years since I arrived in Tenerife, and the island has become my home in every sense of the word. Tenerife has a way of enchanting you with its natural beauty and warm hospitality. From the rugged…

7 Reasons Why I Fell in Love with Tenerife
After nine months spent on the Island of Eternal Spring between October 2019 and May 2021, I can say with all my heart that I love Tenerife. This article outlines my passion for this island, and I will tell you the reasons why I fell in love with Tenerife (and why I think you would, too). I have to admit that, before visiting the island for the first time in 2019, I had a lot of misconceptions about it: I thought it was a fancy, touristy, tacky holiday destination for party animals and club lovers. Oh, how wrong I was! I would say that Tenerife is the perfect destination for…

Traveling in Tenerife During the Pandemic
Traveling during the pandemic never was on my to-do list. But, from one lockdown to another, I had the opportunity to travel to the Canary Islands during the Covid pandemic. And I will probably do it again. I’ve actually spent almost two months in Tenerife in the summer of 2020. And I’ve discovered a totally different world than the one I’ve encountered at the end of 2019. You can read about our (mine and Alex’s, my bf) three-month adventure in Tenerife in this article. After two months spent in complete lockdown in Romania, when the only contact with the outside world was when going grocery shopping, we decided to try…

10 Days in Phuket: Relaxation and Adventure
With white-sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise water, palm trees, and a unique exotic vibe, Phuket, Thailand is a dream destination and a top choice when it comes to exploring Thailand’s beautiful islands. I can still feel the hot breeze in my hair and the taste of freshly juiced exotic fruits. After four nights spent in the busy Bangkok, we were so excited to escape the capital’s hustle-and-bustle and the fear caused by the first coronavirus cases, and spend ten well-deserved days on the beach with a book, a cocktail or a beer in our hands. You can read about our experience in Bangkok here: Read: Bangkok: Expectation vs. Reality Read:…

How We Got Scammed in Bangkok
Bangkok is full of surprises; this is the reason why so many people love it. But scams are some of them. I have written this article two months after our visit to Thailand and I have realized how many things I would have done differently. Traveling is not always pretty, but every experience teaches you new lessons. No matter how well-prepared we were before visiting the capital of Thailand, yes, we got scammed. After our experience, I suggest you take some time before planning a trip to Thailand and read carefully plenty of blog posts and watch vlogs with REAL experiences not only presentations of the most popular attractions. I…

Bangkok – Love It And Hate It

In this article, I will tell you what I love about Bangkok (yes, there are some things I really enjoyed) and what I hate about it so, let’s start.…

Bangkok – Expectations vs. Reality
Hello, my lovely petites! It took me a while to find the words to describe my petite traveler adventures in Thailand, so this is the first article of a series because there is a lot to recount. When you say Bangkok, you probably picture glorious skyscrapers, green parks, fascinating temples, friendly people and the world’s best food. At least, this is what I thought about it. I’ll be honest: Bangkok is nothing like I’ve imagined. Thailand was on our travel list for a long, long time. Actually, when we started freelancing in the summer of 2019, we were sure we wanted to move to Thailand for at least three months.…

Our 3 Months Adventure In Tenerife
Hola my Petites! Since our adventure in Tenerife has ended for the moment, I wanted to share with you this fabulous experience. At the beginning of 2019, we (me and Alex) didn’t know how many things were about to happen and change our lives. And here we are, at the end of the year and of a decade, grateful for one of the most fascinating experiences of our lives – our 2.5 months adventure in Tenerife. How it all started? With a failed attempt to go to Thailand for more than 15 days (we didn’t give up this idea, either). Our desire was to make the most of our new…

Petite and not Feeling Like A Woman? What Do You See When You Look in the Mirror?
Have you ever felt not woman enough as a petite, but rather a ‘forever girl’? I don’t mean only physically. Relax, most petite women feel this way, and I was one of them – I must admit, I didn’t know how to woman. Being petite leads, in most of the cases, to looking much younger but remaining a girl for the rest of your life is not an option. As a petite, my parents always treated me like a child; this is what all parents do in general, I guess. As a result, I didn’t know when the transition from mommy’s girl to a grownup woman has been done. At…

15+ Things You Don’t Know About Me
Hello my petites! As I am new to many of you, I feel like sharing some things (funny or not) you surely don’t know about yours truly but will probably help you know me better. I have been wearing glasses since I was 4 years old. You do the math. I love reading. I can’t imagine life without books. I don’t like the idea of reading e-books (L.E. December 2019 – I’ve discovered Kindle, I don’t know how I’ve lived without it so far). I love to feel the paper and, call me weird, the smell of books. The best relaxation for me is reading on a sunny beach. When…
