12 Beautiful Spring Scenes From Tenerife
They say Columbus called Tenerife the island of eternal spring. With its pleasantly warm, but not too hot weather all year, with some wind and veil clouds often in the sky, it definitely is.

Autumn In Hungary’s Zemplén Mountains
We took another trip in mid-November and caught the last days to enjoy the autumn colors in the forest of Zemplén Mountains before all the leaves fell (and before all the hotels got closed to tourists in Hungary). We only spent a weekend there, and we’ll surely go back when we can take trips again.…

Photo Essay: Colorful Autumn

Autumn Colors From Buda Hills & Pilis Mountains
If we’d like to get away from the crowd and noise of Budapest, we go for a hike in Buda Hills. While the city is lively and magnificent, Buda Hills are peaceful and fresh. And green – uhm, actually yellow, orange and brown this time of the year. Pilis Mountains are not much further and…
