Welcome to Alonga Travel: Your Guide to European Destinations & City Breaks

I've seen such incredible beauty, amazing unique old buildings, and cozy modern city life scenes during my travels. It effected me in many ways, and I wished I could share what I was seeing  with other people! 

That's why I created this website: to share my travel tips with you so you can see this beauty of the places for yourself. 

I want to show you the best places in Europe, the ones that will make you fall in love with Europe as much as I did.

I hope to help you plan your own European trip, and that my tips will help make it a worry-free one, and save you money. I also hope my destinations recommendations will help make your trip even more enjoyable and memorable.

Why I have created Alonga Travel

Are you a visual person? I am a visual person myself; I need to see things, not hear about them. So, I enjoy sharing a lot of pictures, videos and maps, so you can have a better idea of what I am sharing.

And if you are a lover of historical architecture like me, and your emotions are moved by beautiful older buildings, castles and palaces - you might enjoy my blog even more!

Are you a visual person?

There are many wonderful continents out there and each has great stories to write about (and sometimes I do write them). However, Europe leaves the most powerful impression on me because of its ambience and liveliness of its streets, and the main draw - beautiful old buildings.

I'm heavily into aesthetics. I need to see pretty things for my emotional well-being. Do you feel this way as well? And scenes from European streets give me great aesthetic pleasure! I hope I'll be able to share this pleasure with you through my photos and videos.

One can see some incredible old architectures in Europe. Some are unique to the area, like Mudejar architecture unique to the Iberian Peninsula.

When every street corner is picturesque and the streets are lively and addicting, it’s hard for me to stay away from Europe for long.

I write about Europe because I'm deeply passionate about its beauty and want to share that beauty with you.

Why do I write about Europe?

Fresh seafood and food markets in Europe

Europe is also a great place for food enthusiasts, with delicious seafood and vibrant food markets adding to the experience. This food is often freshly caught from the sea and sold on some picturesque seaside pier or on a vibrant city market, where buying food turns into an entertaining adventure!

These fresh sardines (below) were just caught an hour before and are being sold right from the boat on Lipari Aeolian Island off the coast of Sicily.

Europe is soaked with arts and music. Its museums attract and fascinate and they are considered to be the best in the world for a reason!

Taking all this in, it’s easy to understand why visiting Europe leaves such a powerful impression.

And I want to share with you this incredible European experience that has changed my life in so many ways, as I am sure it will change yours as well!
