In travel mood

As summer is approaching, it is the right time to start thinking about vacations and search for possible destinations. Few days ago,  Jen from Gypsybus28, tagged me for the Travel Tag. Her timing was impeccable! I was very excited and immediately started thinking about this year’s vacations.

First of all, I would like to thank Jen for tagging me in the Travel Τag. I follow her blog for a while now and I find it very inspiring. She shares her  love about cooking, travelling and beauty. You can check out her blog  here.

And now let’s move on with the questions!

1. WHERE IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE YOU HAVE VISITED?

It is not easy to decide. There are a few places that are on my favourite list – each for a different reason. On the top of my list though, is Prague, Vienna, Greek Islands and Majorca.

2. IF YOU COULD VISIT ANYWHERE TOMORROW, WHERE WOULD YOU PICK?

Krakow (Poland). I wanted to visit Krakow since my studies, but somehow it never happened. Now we have friends living there, so a visit is long overdue!

3. WOULD YOU RATHER GO ON A CITY HOLIDAY OR A BEACH HOLIDAY?

It depends on which season I’m choosing to travel. For summer time I prefer going on a beach holiday. For autumn and spring I prefer a city holiday. I’m not counting winter period, because I can’t stand the cold weather. I would say yes if it would be a ‘hotel’ holiday only!

4. WHAT ARE 3 OF YOUR HOLIDAY ESSENTIALS?

Everything I take with me it considered to be essential!

5. ARE YOU AN OVER-PACKER OR AN UNDER-PACKER?

Definitely an over-packer! Every time I’m trying to convince myself to pack less but it’s impossible 🙂

6. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT GOING ON HOLIDAYS?

My favourite thing is that I get away from the daily routine. Besides that I enjoy seeing new places, meeting other cultures and certainly trying the local  cuisine.

7. WHAT IS ONE PLACE YOU WOULD NEVER WANT TO VISIT?

I can’t think of such a place, but  I will surely avoid visit places that doesn’t make me feel safe.

8. WHO WOULD YOU RATHER GO ON A HOLIDAY WITH, FAMILY OR FRIENDS?

I don’t mind.  I enjoy both, even though most of the times I go on vacation with family.

9. WHAT IS THE MOST ADVENTUROUS DISH YOU HAVE TRIED FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY?

Since I am not an adventurous person and I am a picky eater, I don’t try anything that looks odd or includes peculiar ingredients. I like to try the traditional food of the country I’m visiting,  if fits my criteria that is – which most of the times it does.

10. WHO DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS TRAVEL TAG?

7 Interesting things about me:
  1. I love animals, especially dogs. Ever since I was a  child, I remember always having at least one running around the yard and through the house.
  2. Other  than  our local Mediterranean cuisine, I also love  Mexican, Indian and Japanese food.
  3. I love cooking. I always like trying new recipes. I don’t always follow  the  instructions verbatim since I like being creative in the kitchen. In the future I will post some of my favorite recipes!
  4. I’m not the athletic type. I just like to hike leisurely for as long as I can.
  5. I love all kinds of sweets but not chocolates or anything that contains chocolate 🙂
  6. As weird as it seems, I’m not a big fan of swimming, even though I am from an island and I live very close to the sea, like 5-10 minutes walking distance!
  7. I’m afraid of heights. When we visited the Eiffel Tower and we went all the way up, I turned and looked at the inside part of the elevator. When we reached  the second floor I just stepped outside of the elevator, stayed there and held onto the railings while the others were enjoying and admiring the ‘breathtaking’ view.
