Travel without flying

So far so good, now my trip continue outside security zone. Europe from the beginning was a hope for me that one day people can leave all prejudices all those opinions that are not based on reason, facts or actual experience and look forward to building something bigger that will unite people no matter of beliefs, skin color, nationality or sexual orientation. To be unite is not a easy task, it is a lot of devotion hard work and the most important thing is to believe in people. We are so different so many cultures so many languages ​​with many personalities and everyone should have rights, right to have opinions, free speech, free movement and right to be yourself. I saw a lot of people who do not want to accept or try to understand the other one and they do not want to accept because they do not have enough knowledge, they don't want to appear as a stupid or because of fear to be changed We live in a time when as an individual we can not solve the global problem alone, we n...

Sarmizegetusa Regia An ancient city I learned from history are somewhere in the middle of National Park Gradiste so it's good start for a day to explore something else. There is no bus to this place, the closest bus takes you about 19 km from Sarmizegetusa so the people usually takes cars or guided tours. I took the buss from Cluj Napoca to closest village Orastie where you can find a bus station for the next smaller bus to Costesti which is making this route quite often during weekdays, not so often during weekends. When I arrived to Orastie was 13:00 o'clock and the next bus to Costesti was at 18:00. No i didn't wait so much I just started hitchhike, this make more fun :) It was about 38 km and I took 3 cars to get to my last point, the drivers were locals so they told me stories about this place and what could I explore more round here. This place was perfect for enjoying nature and site without many tourists, entire place just for me :) My ...

My time in mountains came to end with pain in knees and feet from the that hard terrain on the slopes. But this was worth all the time i spent there :) My next stop was Cluj Napoca it took me 3,5 hours with a blalbacar from Brasov, for those who don't know blablacar is a community of drivers who share they rides for money, usually cheaper that local bus or train so why not save some money? I didn't have a place to stay in Cluj and my sim card was blocked by mistake by my phone operator so I asked driver to stop at Mcdonalds so that I could use wi-fi to find me a place to stay. When the phone get connection with internet my device explode of all messages, mails, notification and a bunch of updates. Absence of internet during my 3 days leaved blank my timeline which caused the phone to became wildphone. After approximate 20 minutes I answered all the messages, found the place to sleep; and found how to get to the hostel. Using Google offline maps I get there, not a problem i...

It was raining entire day before and the all morning when I went by the train to Busteni which is a small village on south east side of the park. My goal on the journey was day tours in the nature because i didn't want to have way to heavy backpack carrying with me around. So this time i don't have tent or sleeping bag or other kind of hiking equipment, I was even glad when I lost my rain-pants somewhere in Budapest because now my package is lighter after that :) The Bucegi Nationel Park is quite different from all those parks I have been before. Dens forest on steep slopes makes this place challenging to hike, as the information board on the entrance to the park warn to have professional hiking equipment and notice that the trails are of very high difficulties level with probability to get in contact with bears. Although is a National park there is enough of garbage on the hiking's paths don't understand those people who do that. Annoyin...

Brasov     I stayed almost one week in Brasov a cute place worth to visit. For many years ago this was a  Saxon's city with many signs on german that reminds you of the old past. The city is located in a valley surrounded by mountains with the main goal to protect the city from enemies now it's serve as good time spending parks and hiking routs.   During my time in Brasov was raining and is better to do some indoor activities. There is a plenty things you can do indoors such as museums, castles, water park, malls, cinema etc I was disappointed visiting Bran castle because this thing with Dracula story is just a fairy tail and the only thing that connect this castle with Dracula is Bram Stoker who first wrote the Dracula novel. He was inspired of Transylvanian castles and someone pointed this place as Dracula's nest to attract tourists. Sorry guys and girls but no blood sucking King or what so ever lived here or have something to do with this cast...

To get a Chinese visa is a adventure and curse and the same time. I saw plenty of people angry, upset and swearing back and forward due to all this necessities.
