🎉 PRESETS coming soon! Check out my stories for 🎉 PRESETS coming soon! Check out my stories for the before and after of this photo 🙈

You know how Barcelona is full of Modernist (the Spanish current of Art Nouveau) buildings, well in Madrid we had to search hard for one. We were not dissapointed 😍. 

🏛 This is the Longoria Palace, I wanted so much to visit the inside, but I couldn’t possibly figure out how! It’s the headquarters of the Spanish General Society of Authors, so you can’t visit. Except on some specific occasions when they have an open doors day. 

💫 We love to go out of our way just to see beautiful buildings. It’s even more rewarding to see them on the inside. What do you go out of your way for on your travels?

P.s. I just checked the #modernismomadrid hashtag, and there are so many modernist buildings in the city!! As if we didn’t have enough reasons to want to return 🥰🥰

Do you use the Save button for posts? I find it re Do you use the Save button for posts? I find it really helpful! I have collections by cities or countries and whenever I see a gorgeous spot I save it in the respective collection. Even if I don’t plan to go there anytime soon. 

✈️ Then, when I plan a trip, after all the research on blogs, vlogs and Instagram, I also check my saved collections, they’re truly valuable!

💪 Tip: for saving a post into a collection you need to long tap the bookmark sign under the post. 

🏛 This gorgeous house is the Casa Palazuelo, a hidden gem in Madrid. It’s actually hidden in plain sight, right on Calle Mayor! Save this post for when you’ll visit Madrid 😉

These vertical gardens pop up everywhere nowadays. These vertical gardens pop up everywhere nowadays. They’re really efficient space-wise, but they also look totally amazing! 💚

Needless to say, I do lots of my travel research on Instagram! This beautiful installation is in front of the CaixaForum Madrid museum, a place which is rarely on a “top things to see in Madrid” list. That’s why I love this platform, it promotes (really pretty) off the beaten path spots. 

We also visited the museum, it was very good, especially the building’s architecture. We often visit museums just to see the inside of a building 😄. Do you like to visit museums on your travels?

👑 How royal does “changing of the guards” s 👑 How royal does “changing of the guards” sound to you? For me it’s as royal as it gets! We saw the guards change at the Royal Palace in Madrid, there are two guards riding horses and they have a little ritual for it. Loved it!

🙏 Did you know there’s a controversy on the internet about this emoji? I always used it as “thank you” but now I hear it’s supposed to be a “high five”?! 🤔

Happy New Year, everyone! May we all have a better Happy New Year, everyone! May we all have a better, peaceful and lovely year 🤗🎉! It shouldn’t be hard to beat 2020 (hopefully) 😂. 

✨ I’m starting the year with some exciting news! I’m working on launching my own LIGHTROOM PRESETS!! Warm, bright, pastel tones are heading your way 😍😍! I’m still tweaking them and I don’t have the final names, but I hope I’ll have them ready soon!

📲 Check my stories to see the before and after of this shot and tell me what you think 🤗

📸 p.s. You can take this shot of the Carrion building in Madrid from the Corte Ingles across the street (next to the Callao subway station on the Gran Via). Just go up to the last floor, you’ll find a cool food court and a wonderful view! Save this post for future reference ☺️

Another gorgeous place in Bucharest, the grand sta Another gorgeous place in Bucharest, the grand stairway of Casa Macca. In my next posts I’ll start sharing our Madrid moments from last year, along with some exciting news 🤗. 
.
Tell me, do you like/read long captions? ✍️ I can’t say I always do. I sometimes browse Instagram just to admire pretty photos and save some new spots. Also, I can tell by the comments I get that most people don’t read my captions. 😅 And that’s ok, our time is limited!
.
But then again, everyone says that you need long captions to grow. 🙈

The streets behind the Romanian Atheneum in Buchar The streets behind the Romanian Atheneum in Bucharest are ever so charming 🥰. This is a September shot, but it snowed in Bucharest, it was so pretty 💙❄️
.
I mentioned in my last post that I don’t know how people travel with babies. So we haven’t traveled anywhere since last December because of the pandemic, but to be honest, even without it I don’t know if we would be traveling right now. 
.
I feel it would be expected from us, as travel bloggers, but it just seems impossible to me. Our baby gets bored easily, we play with toys for 15 minutes but that’s it. She loves being held, but not if you sit down, we’re joking that she has height sensors 😂. She has to sleep every 1.5-2 hours, that’s the rule for a 4 month old, otherwise she gets full of cortisol and adrenaline and she’s cranky and upset. 
.
She doesn’t like to stay in the stroller, she sleeps in the baby carrier, but doesn’t like it for more than half an hour when she’s awake. So we usually carry her in out arms a lot. Oh and she hates car rides of course 😄. I can distract her with toys and songs for 15 minutes, but then she starts crying. 
.
These aren’t problems, it’s her personality and we love her the way she is. But I can’t imagine what a 2 hour plane trip would look like (us taking turns carrying her on the aisle?) Or a city break where we have to put her to sleep every 2 hours and be back at the hotel around 7 for her night sleep. 
.
We want to at least try to go somewhere close for a weekend, maybe we can get her to sleep for the 2h drive. We should ramp up the courage 😄. 
.
So if you have kids, did you travel with them as babies? Were they more cooperative, so you felt encouraged to try?

This museum is in the north part of Bucharest, ver This museum is in the north part of Bucharest, very close to where I lived for the past 20 or so years, but I only recently discovered it. The beautiful house was built in 1942 in Tudor style, with Flemish and Venetian elements.
.
I asked Alex to go take this shot for me about one month ago. It seemed like too much hassle for all three of us to go. Dress the baby, undress her in the car, dress her again for 5 minutes while we take photos outside, pray that she is patient enough in the car and doesn’t start crying. Hint: she is never patient 😂. 
.
I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but I don’t know how people go on vacation with babies, while we stress out just for going out into the city 😭
