HAWAII

Image
Welcome to another adventure! - Selamat datang ke adveture lagi! We have already come back from Hawaii and I couldn't control myself to write about our adventure. The travel has proved that I am very clumsy, expecially surfing compared to Lea who won a second place in a competition, but it was for beginners. Although she is good at surfing, she is very bad at snorkeling. However, I'm good, so we had to teach each other. Lea had to teach me how to surf, and I, how to breathe and use the flippers. Once, she almost drowned, but thanks to the world and to the lifeguards everything stayed as an anecdote. In this trip, we had to do more stops than in others such as Lisbon, California and finally Hawaii. The experience of taking all those flights was exhausting as well as thrilling. It lasted 42 hours more or less,but we spent all that time watching our favourites movies and shows and it did not feel like 42 hours.We were there six days including the flights ( We spent two days...

INDIA

Welcome to another adventure! -  एक और साहसिक में आपका स्वागत है It's Jaione. This time we have travelled to India, another special and spiritual country. I think that this trip has been the funniest undoubtedly. The native people from India has different ways to express with regard. You will discover how we learnt that over the blog. This time we decided to go directly from Pamplona to India (flying). It was difficult to find a cheap flight, since the distance is enourmous. We have been waiting for  a long time to have this opportunity, but finally we have achieved it. In this trip in addition to learn about the Hindi culture we have discovered another type of food. Besides, it has been a trip where  we have had time to think. We have connected more with ourselves and we have found a phrase from Gandhi that defines why we have chosen this adventurous life. It says: "Live like if you will die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever" The first day we ha...

JORDAN

Welcome to another adventure readers! or in Arabic   مرحبا بكم في آخر القراء مغامره! It's Jaione. We have just came from Jordan, an Asian country located in the middle East. For a long time we haven't been able to travel due to our studies. But we are here to bring another crazy adventure to you. When I was Young I used to dream of being Indiana Jones one day. I aspired to be a renowned archaeologist, experience different adventures discovering unusual objects or important tombs. So Lea and I we decided to go to Jordan this time. We had the opportunity to walk around Petra's gorg looking for the treasure. Also, we floated in the dead sea like the tradition promises (and the laws of the physics), we were gobsmacked with the colors of the fishes in the brightness water  of Aqaba gulf. They showed us, like Moises, the promised ground of the top of Nebo hill. This doesn't mean that we have become Indiana Jones, I'm conscious, but we have to say that Jordan offer...

AUSTRIA. INNSBRUCK.

Image
Guten morgen readers!! It's Lea. Jaione and I just came back from Innsbruck, a very important place for me. Innsbrucks is a little city located in the Tyrol, the Austrian part of the Alps. There is only one word to define this city: GORGEOUS. I can not be really objective while we are talking about this city because my one part of my family is from here and I have been coming here since I was born, but Jaione agrees in the fact that Innsbruck is spectacular. This post is specially directed for those who love the mountain and skiing because Innsbruck is surrounded by big mountains which are used for 2 main objectives: In winter and autumn are for skiing and summer and spring are for trekking. Anyways, Innsbruck, the city itself has a lot to offer for those who just want to visit the urban area. Innsbruck was an olympic city twice 1976 and 1964. Anyways, nowadays also hosts Parolympic games and winter games. Due to that Innsbruck has lots of sports zones such as the olym...

JAPAN. TOKYO.

Image
おはよう or in other words: Good morning backpackers!! It is Lea, so glad to be read by you once again! Today we come with a very important post because guess what... JAIONE AND I HAVE BEEN IN TOKYO. We have been dreaming about visiting Japan for years, and finally we had safe enough money so we did not think it twice, we just went for it. First we took a flight to Paris and from Paris we went to Tokyo. The Key to get cheaper flights was going in really "bad" dates, when people are not able to travel because they are whether working or in school. Obviously Jaione and I had school as well, but we managed to take 7 days off to go to Tokyo, since we thought it was going to be a enriching experience and it was worth it. I think that if I explain step by step the things that we did you are going to get bored, so I am going to do a summary of the ups and downs of this trip and the general feeling that we have had. It is important to mention that Japanese people are not real...

LONDON

Good Morning Backpackers!! It's Lea, welcome to our blog! Today we are going to talk about the London, the city of our favourite spy: 007. Jaione and I decided to do a little trip to London since we had 4 days off and we did not have any exams afterwards, so we decided to travel to London since we hadn't been there in a while and the city is always a good place to visit. Our trip started in Bilbao, where we took a Vueling flight from Bilbao to London Gatwick airport for 30€. From our point of view it is a really comfortable flight since Gatwick is connected with the centre of London by buses and trains. We got to London at 19:00 here, so 18:00 in London, we took a bus and we were checking in at 19:00. Since the flight was that cheap we decided to stay in a little Hotel located in the city centre of London, it was really nice to stay in a hotel for once, its name is "Britannia International Hotel" usually it is expensive to stay there, but since we booked every...

MOROCCO

Image
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, it’s Jaione. Welcome to another adventure! Last week besides going to Paris, we went to Africa, concretely to Morocco. You are probably wondering why we chose Morocco. Well, Lea and I are always thinking about traveling and we have a lot of destinations in mind. One of our favorite destinations in our "to-do" list was Morocco, so we decided to go in our holy week. We were so excited to explore Sahara dunes. The first day of our adventure was hectic. We missed the plane so we had to stay in the airport tree hours more waiting  to the next plane. Finally, we loaded. We arrived to Marrakesh and we only had three days to see all the famous landmarks such as kutibia mosque, kasbah of the udayas, saadies tomb, menara garden,.. and then, we were going on a nomada adventure. We realized that some of the  places were too far from each other, so we decided to rent a car. Firstly, we thought that we could rent a car and go on ou...

PARIS

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, it's Lea, welcome to our blog! Last week Jaione and I went on a trip to Paris, most known as the city of love. It was an awesome trip and we spent just a little amount of money doing it. Firstly, we could not decide between going with the airplane or just taking the train. On the one hand, the airplane is the fastest way to get there, but it is really expensive too. It is true that the plane ticket nowadays are really cheap but we have to take a taxi or a train whenever we get to an airport because they are usually located outside the city, and that takes more or less 40 euros more. On the other hand, the train takes 3 times more time than the airplane, but the train usually takes you to the city centre and it is cheap. Taking all this into account, we decided to take the train from Endaya to the Monparnasse train station, located in the city centre of Paris. The train tickets were about 90 euros per person, an acceptable price for Paris. ...
