The cheapest way to get back to Barcelona was through Singapore, a quite long 14-hour flight. Since Phuket is relatively close to Singapore there are many flights a day connecting the cities so I decided to fly early and spend…

On December 26th I took a flight from Jaipur, India to Phuket in Thailand, making a stop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At the airport I met my very good friend Ilya with whom I’d stay for the next 3 weeks….

I’ve been to chaotic cities in the past, like Beijing or Bangkok, but what I lived in India is something incomparable… I flew from South Africa to Abu Dhabi in the Emirates and took a connecting flight to India’s capital…

A 10-hour flight connects Sao Paulo with Johannesburg in South Africa, one of the few flights connecting Africa with South America. I arrived to a beautiful hostel in a neighborhood full of bars called Maboneng. The staff there where very…

In the morning of December 9th, I took a 2 hour flight from Buenos Aires to Iguazú, a city near the triple border between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, and the host for one of the most incredible natural sceneries you…

A 3 hour flight connects Lima to Santiago, capital of Chile, the second country in this trip, after Peru, which I hadn’t ever visited before. I spent 3 days at a hostel in the center, with great staff who watched…

A flight from Guayaquil to Lima was quite expensive, and the way by bus is about 28 hours, so I found the fastest and cheapest way was riding a 5-hour bus to the first city in Perú, Tumbes, right next…

On October 1st I took an AirAsia flight to the city of Honolulu in Hawaii, surely the cheapest flight I’ve ever booked: 100 euros for an 8-hour flight.. Flying from Japan to Honolulu is literally time traveling, I departed Monday…

When I toured Japan last year, I felt Osaka was one of those cities where I could live, and I promise to myself and some friends here that I would come back. So this time I decided to spend 12…

Kyoto and Kanazawa were the 2 most populated Japanese cities during World War 2 by people escaping from bombings in Tokyo. These cities save some of the most beautiful Japanese landscapes and architecture, so they were on my list for…

I arrived to Tokyo in the night of September 6th on an S7 airlines low-cost flight from the city of Irkutsk, Russia. The first thing you have to deal with in Tokyo is the incredibly complicated railway system. They don’t…

Irkutsk is an interesting destination for a number of reasons, but also because It’s airport, located right in the city (only a 15 minute taxi) offers the cheapest connections to most international destinations in Asia. Moreover, I also wanted to…

Before my last concert in Russia, I’d have one spare week where I had not very clear what to do and where to stay. While being in Moscow, I heard stories from a friend about the Olkhon island and got…

The train to Omsk wasn’t too dense, as I was able to sleep half of the trip (about 13 hours long).  When I arrived, there were Irina and Alina waiting for me (vocalist and guitarist of Enamorados tango group). I…

Almost 1 week ago, on August 10th, I took a low cost 2 hour flight from Moscow that saved me the 37 hours of train to get to Ekaterinburg. Arrived in the night and my friend Lilia picked me up…

The hectic Moscow.. its huge distances, its endless metro rides, endless avenues and the difficult to walk them because of constructions or because they are just not though to be walked coexist with some incredible buildings, theaters, restaurants, bars and…

It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m onboard a train on the St Petersburg – Moscow route, a 9 hour trip, a perfect moment to review all the great experiences in probably one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been…

One of the exciting things about going on a long trip only 6 months after you finished the previous one, is the opportunity of making smarter decisions so that you can make the trip a lot more enjoyable. Here a…
