Travelogue - Ibiza, Spain

Hola! Since it's summer, I thought I'd do a short entry on my very short stay in Ibiza. The story on how I ended up here is pretty amusing. I was in Lyon prior to that, and Ibiza was the cheapest destination to fly out too. Story of my wanderlust exchange. And that's how I ended up in sunny Ibiza for 2 days, and flew on to cold and rainy Liverpool after that. 

If you don't already know, Ibiza is an island off the coast of Valencia  It is also home to some of the prettiest beaches and best parties. I'm going to be talking mostly about the beaches because I'm a beach/seaside kinda girl.

Travelogue - Venice, Italy

Needless to say, I was brimming with excitement about going to Venice. To ride on a gondola along the many canals, weaving through buildings and under bridges. To get lost in the maze that is Venice, winding through narrow paths and into little alleys. To admire the many masks and costumes, and the breath-taking scenery that this city has to offer. To walk through San Marco Square and admire the rich history of Venice.

Travelogue - Keukenhof, Netherlands

Keukenhof can be described in 3 simple words. Tulip Lovers Paradise.

Keukenhof is like the mother of all flower shows. Located at the South of Netherlands, in a town called Lisse, this park is so exclusive it only opens from mid March to mid May. In between that, time is spent dreaming of new themes, and preparing the park for the next year.

Travelogue - Santorini, Greece

I think it's part of every girl's romantic fantasy to visit Santorini. If you've heard people rave and wow about this island, every word they say is true. And if you're wondering whether paradise can exist on Earth, yes it does. Santorini is a prime example. I absolutely loved Santorini.

Now Santorini is an island approximately 200km away from Mainland Greece. You can either take a domestic flight from Athens. I was in Turkey before I headed to Santorini, so I simply took a ferry ride (aboard a cruise ship) over. Having never been on a cruise ship before as well, it was like killing two birds with one stone.

Santorini to me is picture perfect. The night view is breath-taking. The beaches pristine and oh-so-lovely to sun tan on. If you are feeling a little adventurous, bring along your own towel and hike to less crowded areas. Sun-block is a definite must, especially during Summer.
