My name is Vlad and this is my travel blog. There you have it…short and sweet. However, I'm an engineer by trade and I do not live from my website. I'm just like you, trying to make the most of the limited vacation time I get from my regular job.
I believe that the ability to travel is a great privilege and blessing. Most people do not get the chance to travel to other countries and experience other cultures. This is why I consider myself very blessed.
Planning a local trip in Solvang, California.
I do love to travel and to take pictures of the places I visit. I also love seeing the same place in different times of the year and pick out the differences. Some times the same place can convey a completely different feeling during another time of the year.
When it comes to travel, I want to save money and find the best deals. Since travel is expensive every bit of savings helps make travel experience last longer.
I want this page to be a journal that captures my travel experiences both good and bad as well as any travel wisdom I gather as I get to visit different places. I try to post frequently but I cannot promise any frequency.
