Nov 4, 2019 | Europe, Italy, Milan

Have you ever crossed the sea by train? Between Denmark and Sweden it is possible and the cities of Lund and Malmö are both about an hour away from Copenhagen, so I decided to cross the sea and change countries for a day. I have a friend living in Malmö, but she was...
Aug 6, 2019 | Europe, Poland, Warsaw
The layover in Warsaw returned! When I started working for TAP there was only a turn around flight to the Polish capital, it is said that the beauty of the Polish women was so big that caused many divorces among TAP men so the layover was cancelled. But as soon as it...
