Things to do in Amsterdam

Image
 Amsterdam Every year, to celebrate my birthday, I travel somewhere, in 2019 I went to Morocco , in 2020 to Israel and this year (2022) I decided to visit Amsterdam. It was a long time since I wanted to visit this city and there I have a friend that I wanted to see, so with these three points combined, I decided to visit Amsterdam in winter. I spent five days in Amsterdam and I visited the city plus some places outside like Zaanse Schans, Zandvoort and Haarlem. One important thing is that I forgot my camera so all the pictures were taken with my phone, maybe the quality is not high but I think they are anyway beautiful. Amsterdam is the capital and the most populous city of the Netherlands, with a population close to a million. It is colloquially referred to as the "Venice of the north" due to the large number of canals which form a UNESCO world heritage site since 2010. Amsterdam was founded at the Amstel, the city's name derives from the Amstel dam, originating as a sm

Abandoned Train yard, Budapest

 Istvantelek Between a trip and another, I started an urban photography project in Budapest, where I live, and in Hungary, I am visiting abandoned places and have a shooting with a model. Recently I exported this project also outside Hungary, in the summer of 2021 I lived two months in Kyrgyzstan and had this project also there . I want to say that it's illegal and very dangerous to enter abandoned buildings/places, so please don't take this post as an invitation to do the same. One of the first places I visited with this project is the Istvantelek train yard, which once was one of the most important railway vehicle repair shops in Hungary, the Hungarian railway history park is located near the area. I like to discover and visit abandoned places because they are full of history, they are like an open exhibition of a recent past, when I'm there I'm imagining people that interacted with that place, that worked there, how was their life in that period. If it is possible I

Things to do in Austria, Vienna

Vienna I went to Vienna in summer 2020, with Israel these were the only two trips in that year.  I have a friend that every year comes to Budapest from Italy to visit me and she did it also in 2020, she knows quite well Budapest so we passed a few days there and then go to Vienna. Budapest and Vienna are quite close, it is around 3 hours by bus and it is a cheap trip to do. We spent a long weekend there, for sure the city deserves more time, but because of covid restrictions and because it is close to where I live I know that I will visit it again. The first thing that positively impressed me was the LGBTQI+ sensitivity of Vienna, the traffic light that you can see in the above picture, the pride zebra crossing, and a lot of other small things like these made me feel a nice freedom feeling. Maria theresien Platz Near our accommodation, in the city centre near Neubaugasse metro station, there is this large public square that host the Natural History Museum and the Art History Museum. T

Things to do in Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon I went to Lisbon in September 2021, just after my experience in Kyrgyzstan . After two months in Kyrgyzstan, I came back for two days at home in Budapest then left again for Lisbon. There I participated in a photographic project organised by Let Me Italian You ; they organize events where people from different cultures can share their passion for photography while they are discovering a city. The program was made with workshops, guided tours of the city and photoshoots in four days. Usually, I travel alone and I organise by myself the travel experience, but I like the way that Massimiliano and Gabriele from  Let me Italian You  organise these projects and I support all the concepts. Downtown Lisbon On the first day, in the morning we had a workshop about "the light of Lisbon", at the IADE university. It was an interesting lecture about the particularly light that you can find in Lisbon, photographically speaking, and also about framing and perspective. After lunch, we
