East We Go | Travel blog Travel blog about our adventures around the world

Ever since the destiny brought us together, at least once a year we set out for a travel and take a chance of getting to know a new piece of the world. This year, during a birthday party, our friends strongly encouraged us to visit two very special Asian countries: India and Sri Lanka. We would like to share with ...

There are places that are not interesting, but still you want to be there. Places where you don’t have the feeling of wasting time despite not doing anything. When you travel it’s easy to fall into a trap of constant search for attractions, traveling only to “score” another temple, museum or monument. Battambang is a perfect escape, as there isn’t ...

We were leaving Cluj Napoca to head to Brasov when we realised that we would be passing by Alba Iulia. It would be a unique opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful walled city in all southeast Europe. Located in the margins of the Mures river, at the heart of Transylvania, Alba Iulia is a small town with 65 ...

A lot has been written about the temples of Angkor. No wonder, it is probably the most famous place in South-east Asia. Angkor is a huge historic urban complex of one thousand square kilometers, which means that it’s not only the most popular temple, Angkor Wat, but also many other temples and water reservoirs spread in the jungle. Why from ...

It was a unique experience. When we got there, the only thing I could think of was: Oh gosh, we are such a tourists! A village in the middle of nothing, a couple of wooden sheds on piles, made of anything that the local people had at hand and a few kilometers of rail tracks used to transport… tourists mainly. ...

There are plenty of day trips you can take from Siem Reap, for example to one of the many floating villages in a few dozen kilometers distance. After reading about differences between them, we decided to go to Kampong Phluk. Located 30 km from Siem Reap in the margins of the river that flows into the Tonle Sap lake, Kampong ...

We got to Siem Reap by night time, tired, after a long 28 hour trip between boats, buses, trains, tuk-tuks and taxis. It was already dark, but after finding a place to stay, we went out to visit a nearby night market on the opposite side of the river, a place with lots of movement that sells a bit of ...

It was 3PM when we got in the boat that took us from Koh Tao to Chumpon. The sea was a bit rough due to a strong rain right before we had sailed away, but the trip was ok. When we got to Chumpon, we were supposed to wait for 3 hours for the bus that would take us to ...

After seeing Railay, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, another beach destination couldn’t impress us that much. WRONG! Koh Tao was by far our favourite island in the gulf of Thailand. Koh Tao is a small island, with just 21 sq. km and a population of 1400. It is one of the world’s most popular destinations for scuba ...

If it wasn’t for Full Moon Party’s odd fame, Koh Phangan would be a quiet, averagely interesting island with few beautiful beaches and almost any attractions. The popularity of the beach craziness organized every month transformed the island into a party mecca, with thousands of people coming here to sunbathe and celebrate with alcohol. I wonder if the people living ...
