These days cities are awash with coffee shops, brew bars, specialty coffee houses and the likes, many of which function as so-called ‘coffices’, spaces where people engage in all sorts of mostly laptop based work alongside their espressos, flat whites and chatter. It would be pretty hypocritical of me to complain of such places…
Land of the Ridiculously Pretty: Bled and Bohinj
The search is finally over. I have now identified the easiest and in all likelihood most enjoyable job in the world: working for the Slovenian tourist board. Your typical day probably starts with idling into office to look at about ten dozens of equally stunning nature shots and finally choosing one while being well aware…
A Caturday Post
Since life is basically what happens to you between two sessions of browsing cat pictures on the Internet, I thought I’d enrich the online treasure trove and share some shots of the freshest addition to our cat clan (read:the entities ruling our household with an iron paw). Flex came into the word as a…
Arad/50 mm
I might claim that my project of shooting one day in Arad strictly with the 50 mm lens was a great artistic endeavour of which I thought long and hard and which was aimed at revealing something in particular about the town I’ll always fondly call home. The truth is, I was lazy. Lazy to…
Summer of the Incompetent: How We Climbed Hármashatár-hegy
Every now and then I plan a post and then somehow things get out of hand and oh wow, it’s next year in March. To my excuse, our fearless outing into further urban forestage took place just before Sziget, and we kind of got busy with other stuff afterwards. Also, really, it’s only just September…
It’s Always the Shoes- Sziget One Month On
In case you thought it’s too early to think about next year’s Sziget, think again. The first super discounted tickets will be on sale for 25 hours on the the 25th of September- so okay, days on Sziget do seem at least 25 hours long, but the 25th of September hasn’t been officially prolonged,…
Gods, Aubergines and The Volcano- Sicilian Holiday Part Three
Some years ago I reached the breaking point where I had read about all the Scandinavian crime literature a sane human being can handle and decided to venture onto pastures new. Since Scandinavian poetry seemed to be somewhat taxing, I stayed with the crimes, but went for more sub-tropical ones, namely the books of Sicilian…
Eternal Confusion of the Infinite Bus- Sicilian Holiday Part Two
First things first: because we are inept travelers who love their pint or three of something, we generally skip the hire a car part, which, as you shall see, is particularly irksome in Sicily. This also implies that our mobility is somewhat limited by the quirks and whims of local transportation companies, and we therefore cover less of…
Into the South- Sicilian Holiday Part One
It might seem odd, but for a country which is, insert super useful info here, a peninsula, I had never associated Italy with the sea. Or, more precisely, the sea was never the first thing I associated it with, nor the second, and probably not even the tenth. Somewhere in my heart of hearts I…
Best Concerts of Sziget 2016 #1: Editors
I could theoretically come up with a spectacular and convoluted story about how I spent more of those restless nights musing over whom to place at number one, preparing sophisticated charts, organizing one woman brainstorming sessions and using state of the art data analysis apps to weigh the pros and cons of each performance. I…
