If you are looking for the definition of cool transformed into a city, then you are looking for Melbourne. The capital of Victoria, and Australia´s second biggest city (after Sydney), is one of the trendiest cities in the world (even being 20+ flight hours away from London, Berlin or NYC). Of course, if a city […]
Great Ocean Road
The Great Ocean Road is one of Australia´s most important attractions, and a great place to visit if you are in Victoria. As we were staying in Melbourne for just three days, we decided to make it in just one of those days. As mentioned, after deciding we were going to do it in one […]
Perth

Hanoi
The Capital of Reunified Vietnam is one of a kind, a city that awakens all senses as you go through it showing what really lively streets are like. Some words that define Hanoi are street food, traffic, motorbikes, lake, organized chaos, water puppets, a bay and socialism. We can promise all of these things make […]
