I've on a cultural trip to Granada where we stayed a week in the heart of Granada's oldest quarter, Albayzin. I travelled to Granada with my classmates as the trip was part of field trip.

We stayed at the White Nest Hostel which was so nice and colourful plus the location couldn't be better for local sightseeing. The hostel wasn't far to bus and train services either.

In total we stayed 7 days at the White Nest Hostel and had a great time. Albayzin is known for its narrow streets, pittoresque houses and of course the Alhambra Palace which reminds us of the Moorish, the historic...

I was in Amsterdam for the Sinterklaas day. This is a feast for Saint Nicholas, patron saint of Amsterdam. Every 5th of December in the whole Netherlands people are eating chocolate and exchanging gifts.

Last night I played a special Sinterklaas bingo and I won a lot of nice presents for Sinterklaas. In the last days it was really cold in Amsterdam and the streets were full of snow, it was beautiful.

Barcelona is a beautiful city so everyone was really excited when our mentor revealed the travel destination we would be heading to for our annual field trip.

Of course we had to take our advantage and spend some time on the beach but we also did a lot of sightseeing in the center.

Obbligated and must see tourist attraction...

Eventhough Christmas might still be a month away I already got a taste of the traditional English Christmas celebrations in London last week.

I went to London on a short vacation with my girlfriend and the whole Christmas feel and atmosphere was amazing. Especially around Carnaby Street, Oxford Circus and Hyde Park the decorations were gorgeous.

Not to speak of the shopping district at night! The entire building of Harrods was draped in Christmas lights and of course London Bridge and London Eye were shining as always.

A beautiful time to visit London, I´d...
