Wandering Secrets

Rain changes the perspective of a city. Visiting Budapest under the cold rain or under a bright sunshine changes how much you like the city. Same goes for a lot of places… But rain seems to give Bratislava a new life. The light, the colours that stand out are different from those that we see on […]

The reactions to my last post got me thinking about how and what I’d written about Slovakia. I wasn’t trying to list negative aspects, nor was I saying that I didn’t like my life here. It was more a cry of wanderlust than a post about Slovakia. Confused?  Me too! We’ve been living in Bratislava […]

A daily phrase for us. ” Look, look! two foreigners!” “Look, look! say Hello!” “Hallo!” Quick quick, take a picture! Those are the nice ones.
