2012 It seems travel addiction can only get worse with time and even the economic crisis provides only a temporary relief. Like most of us, in 2011 I had less time and financial resources for my trips, however the airlines and hotels helped me a lot with difficult to resist special offers, especially around Europe. Well, it would have been a terrible year if I didn’t make one long distance journey and this year the destination was Taiwan. Thanks to TAITRA I visited a gifts and stationery show in Taipei and I had the unique chance to also see the magnificent International Flora Exposition in one of its last days – a color feast I celebrated by taking over 1000 pictures!
