My nominees for the Liebster Blog Awards are…

1. What is your earliest travel memory?

I think from when I used to go to my granny’s town so we travelled for some hours and I felt exited because I liked the place I could go around by bike and play with kids on the street.

1. What has been your favourite journey?

I loved Sardinia last year, we deserved a beach holiday with great italian food. Travel slowly is one of my pleasures.

1. Backpack or suitcase/holdall?  Why?

I am the suitcase type, because mainly we go to hotels, or hostels with private rooms, short trips so no need to carry a backpack with us and easy, as normally is city locations. So going from the airport to the city center is easy in a trolley.

1. What’s your favourite airline and why?

To be honest, I haven’t tried so many regular airlines.. I would say British Airways as a regular airline, among the ones I tried. In Europe mainly low cost: Easyjet, Rynaire, Jet2 etc… I would love to try Qatar Airways.

1. What’s the most interesting food that you’ve eaten on your travels?

Actually, nothing really weird as I have not went out from Europe much, but I would say bull balls was the most weird-funny thing. I can asure you it is delicious, I didn’t know what it was when I put it in my mouth.

1. What’s your favourite souvenir?

Food. With no doubt, I don’t like decoration or little typical figures of buildings od fridge magnets. I think that food is something useful and it is a taste of the country you visited.

1. Where are you going next?

Next trip planned is Sevilla, in Spain. I am trying house exchange for the first time so I am curious to see how it goes. We have contacted a family from there and we are staying in Ayamonte, Huelva an hour far from Seville.

1. Window or aisle?  Why?

Window. I have hipocsia in planes, I start feeling very hot and sweeting and I feel terrible in my stomach. It doesn’t happen often, but it depends on how they land or take off I feel awful so the cold of the window helps me a bit to recover.

1. Is there a song that reminds you of an amazing travel experience?

Mmm…not really as such. But there are songs that take you to the travelling mood. We like car routes so we always take our cd’s, Adele and Celine Dion are good choices for travelling for me.

1. What’s the worst travel experience you’ve had?

Marrakech was pretty challenging, we arrived at the airport and the transfer who was supposed to pick us up came an hour late, the driver went through a red traffic light and the police stopped us. We almost end without a driver because they wanted to take them in, luckily he convinced the officer but took all his papers so he would go later on. And when we arrived at the hotel we did not have our reservation. Luckily as well, there were rooms available and they sort it out. But not a very good beginning.

1. Did you have to overcome any fears to go travelling?

Well my airplane hipocsia is one I would say.
