Using Plastic When Travelling

If you are a frequent traveller, you will surely need a plastic. How about a jobless traveller? I was surprised two years ago when my application for a credit card was approved. I am jobless but they still approved it. I guess, this is probably the advantage of having a European passport. At first, they gave me a credit limit of 300.00 Euros. It's already enough for me. I can use my debit card when I travel but I prefer using a plastic especially in times of emergency.  Have you also heard about free debit cards? It probably depends on which...

How lucky was my friend when she received it. She was really very happy...

This is one thing I love in my life in Europe.  I received a lot of invitations the past days  from  events, gatherings, birthday parties,  group travel and shopping escapade.

Garden Stuffs

I love the new patio in our garden. Sad to say, we can no longer install our gazebo because it was replaced with this new patio. I love that gazebo design i found in the garden center but I can no longer have one. We actually still have a room for a gazebo in our garden but hubby don't want to have one in that area. If I don't get very busy next year...

Shipping from Europe

It depends on what you are planning to ship or mail and how it weighs, the price will certainly differ. When I  mailed one box that weight around 12 kilos to Spain, I paid  around 22.00 euros. Just yesterday,  a friend of mine asked  me how much does it cost for a box  that weighs 25 kilos to the United Kingdom.  I need to ask again the post office since the one she talked with last week don't speak English.  This is the problem sometimes in Germany, not all people are speaking  English. Of course, you need...

A good hen party, of course.Whatever you’re after, city breaks probably have it; and as far as city breaks go, Newcastle-upon-Tyne is up there with the best of them.If pure partying is what you’re after, you could don your Union Jack glitter hat and dance to top 90s tunes at Babylon. Or for the more retro night, try Flares – where disco is still top of the charts. Take a...

One Life is Not Enough to See The World

I had some nice conversation with friends yesterday. We were talking about travel and we agreed that when we have extra money, we will surely keep on travelling. We will not wait until our legs get  painful due to old age and can no longer enjoy walking while sightseeing. Besides we  cannot bring our money and all material possessions 6 feet under the ground. Agree folks! I can't even imagine on how to plan a funeral  and   all of us has a final destination. So let's keep on travelling when we still can! Life is short ...
