Go Travel and See the World

Hello February! The second month of the year is finally here! I guess, many are quite excited especially for those who have already found their special someone to celebrate the so-called “Hearts’ Month”. I don’t occupy myself with this topic now because I am really busy with so many things. lolz! I would rather love to share some travels I did in the past. This time, I will be talking about the most amazing ancient walled cities I visited in Europe.

Don’t you know that there are over a hundred of walled cities to see in Europe? I am glad, I was able to visit some of those amazing cities here. Here are some of these interesting walled cities I visited in the past;

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany

After spending almost an hour of browsing the albums in my external hard drives, I finally found some of the ancient walled cities in Europe.  It took me quite a long time finding these photos since I have over  millions of pictures and thousands of albums from my travels to over 40 countries as of now.

I want to bring you first in one of the beautiful walled cities in Germany, the Rothenburg ob der Tauber.  This town is located on a plateau overlooking the Tauber River  in Bavaria.  This is  a quintessential German town  with its half-timbered construction and cobblestones, which is  really worth to  visit.  The town was founded in 1170 and the fortified wall was built in the 1400s.

Now, I surrender! I was searching for photos in my external hard drive. Those photos are actually taken during  my trips in Venice, Italy.  It seems that I cannot find the one I wanted to post here. I am trying to find this singing Gondolier in my photo albums. Sad to say, with the thousands of photos I have in my 3GB external hard drive, I can’t find it right now. I need to organize the photo albums in this gadget when I have the time.

The famous gondolas in Venice, Italy.

I have been to Venice four times already. For some reasons, I love to keep on coming back in this city. There are a lot of reasons and one of it is very simple, I fall in love with Venice. One of the things you must experience in this floating city is to do a Gondola ride.  (more…)

Having visited over 20 capital cities in Europe, I can say that Madrid is one of the most beautiful cities in the continent. My first visit there was in 2011. I did not experienced  a lot during that day-visit in winter of December,  so I promise myself to go back again. Indeed after three months, I set-foot on Madrid’s ground again. It was actually a long story why  my come back  to Madrid happened in just a span of  month’s  time. That 3 weeks stay was full of memorable experiences and adventures. I also met a lot of new and old friends.

One of the things I did when I visited Spain’s capital was shopping for souvenirs. I always love collecting any forms  of souvenirs from currency to postcards, fridge magnets, keychains, shirts, shotglasses, travel guides and more.   (more…)

WHAT Christmas Truly Means?

It’s sharing your gifts, n0t purchasing gifts;

it’s n0t wrapping presents, it’s being present and wrapping your arms around the ones you love;

it’s n0t having the biggest and best Christmas light display,
it’s displaying the Christ light that comes from your heart;

it’s n0t Santa coming down the chimney,
it’s Jesus coming down from heaven and giving us the gift of eternal life.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

and a Prosperous New Year too!

It was indeed a very memorable trip to Morocco. It is the first country I visited in Africa.  I can still remember a colleague who told me that  visiting Morocco is dangerous. I just ignored his warning because I have a strong belief that I will come back home safe. Thanks God, I came home safely.

I experienced many places in Morocco during that travel. Marrakesh, Agadir, Rabat, Fes, Meknes, Volubilis, Casablanca and Moulay Idriss were among it. One thing that only made me sad was when my Nikon 1 J1 malfunction. The error says “Lens  Error, please contact Nikon service.”  (more…)

That first visit in Spain was indeed one of the highlights in my travels  last 2011.  Indeed, it was the most memorable and most exciting  trip I had  that year.  After so many years of dreaming to visit this beautiful country, I finally landed  for the first time in Andalusia. Thanks to a dear friend who accompanied me in that trip, or else  I won’t be able to do it alone due to  the expensive extra  single room charge. This is one advantage of traveling with a companion, it is quite cheaper compared to being alone.

The Seville Cathedral (also known as The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See)  in the middle and the Archivo General de Indias (General Archive of the Indies) ont eh left side and a part  of the  Alcázar palace complex in Seville Cathedral.

Seville is one of the cities we visited in Andalusia. It is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Andalusia and the province of Seville, Spain, situated on the plain of the River Guadalquivir. The city contains three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alcázar palace complex, the Cathedral and the General Archive of the Indies. (more…)

Travel excitement is over after I visited Singapore and I was  a happy wanderlust when I was there. I am also happy right now  because another trip will happen before the end of the year. I am glad, I got the confirmation of my vacation leave last week. With it, I was able to plan another trip  accordingly. I  am actually very excited after booking it because I will be traveling to another continent  again. Where it is? For now, it will be a secret.

The Supertrees at the gardens by the Bay in Singapore. They  are tree-like structures that dominate the Gardens’ landscape with heights that range between 25 metres (82 ft) and 50 metres (160 ft). They are vertical gardens that perform a multitude of functions, which include planting, shading and working as environmental engines for the gardens.

Times flies so fast! I just remember that I am already working for a month now. It should be over a month if I really started on the exact date  when I supposed to start. Since I was away for a week trip to Poland, my employer changed the date to the 18th of August. It was actually my birthday trip.   (more…)

Are you ready to party with me? lolz! The waiting is almost over! Oktoberfest in Munich is  coming so soon! The most famous and largest festival in the planet will  start in  less than 24 hours.  Isn’t it cool  to celebrate and have fun in this festival?  I know many of you will be excited to experience a  truly Bavarian culture.  Millions of locals,  guests and tourists   will surely be there again.

This year’s celebration will take place from September 20 to October 5, 2014 at the area called as Theresiewiese, locally called as the Wiesn. The Munich Oktoberfest originally took place during the 16 days up to, and including, the first Sunday in October.

It is two years now since my second visit in the so-called “Gaming and Entertainment Capital of the World”. If you have to think of a place which was previously a barren desert, you can really wonder the talents, abilities and intelligence of human minds. This desert is now famous around the world and is visited by many guests and tourists from all corners of the world.

I  love Las Vegas, Nevada  and I actually miss it. Some of the reasons are the free entertainments you can experience in the  city. Even if you are only walking o n the Strip, you can already witness many street performers and entertainers there.  (more…)
