Places I’ve been around the world.

212-2020 – Bucegi National Park


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is an aerial image of Bucegi National Park in Romania. Initially, we joined the queue to hop on the cable car from Busteni to Babele, situated at about 2200 m altitude, but after one hour, we realised that we didn’t advance at all, so we end up taking a taxi to “Cabana Piatra Arsă” via Sinaia. From there, it was a nice climb up all the way up to “Babele” aka “The old ladies” and “the Sphinx”. Like, comment & share!

198-2020 – Tom Finney

He is widely acknowledged to have been one of the sport’s greatest-ever players. Like, comment & share!

182-2020 – Great Deal


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, might be useful to you if your car is due for and MOT and Full Service, and looking for a great deal. Please note the * which basically means that most likely you will end up paying more. I paid £213 (when I booked it online) not £188 and the entire process took 2 hours not 1 hour and 30 minutes as advertised. Drop the car and wait or comeback when ready. The staff is very knowledgable and overall I had a pleasant experience. Definitely recommend the […]

072-2020 – Fashion Trends


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about “ Fashion Trends” in London, Spring 2020. I am not into fashion, but I spotted something unusual about these upcoming trends in Fashion – and I am totally unacceptable. Did you notice the same thing I noticed? If you too spotted the mask or the gloves, then you are wrong. I am totally ok with wearing a mask and gloves in March in London, but I don’t understand why she would need two bags?

How to make a time-lapse video


Time-lapse video The easiest way to make a timelapse video is to purchase a camera that has this function. Some people call it a time-lapse maker. One of the cameras which has this feature is Canon Powershot G16. I take this camera with me everywhere. With this camera, I capture most of my travel images and time-lapses. Check out my Backpacking Cuba blog post. Usually, I select the 120 minutes option when taking a timelapse. The best thing about it – no computer or specialised software needed. Watch my 10 seconds timelapse below or check out my Portfolio: Another way […]
