Always on the lookout for a good market, I was curious to see what this one would be like. From the research I did, it sounded like a mixed bag, and what many people refer to as a ‘car boot sale’. It is a 45-minute walk from where I am in town, not as far …
A market lover, I will always seek them out in every destination I travel to. They never get old and I learn so much from the new products I am exposed to. Wow, did I ever find a gem here in the city. And its huge. The best market in Tirana is Tregu Dinamo. Getting …
Oh, what a treasure trove I walked into completely unawares! I adore antique and flea markets, well any type of market really. And completely by accident, I stumbled onto this one, located in a 1,000-year-old Japanese temple! The best flea market at Shitennoji Temple in Osaka is a wonderland of goods, food and ambience. Deets …
Of course, I found a market! In fact, there are quite a few in this little haven on the island of Phuket. The biggest seems to be the vibrant Friday Night market at Kamala Beach, the one towards the north end of the main road. Location The two largest markets are situated at either end …
I love to shop, but don’t usually buy anything as I am limited to a single suitcase which is constantly full to the brim. That doesn’t stop me from seeking out art and admiring the local handiwork surrounding me where ever I travel. There is some great shopping in Hoi An Vietnam that is both …
It was happenstance that I bumped into this museum. Exploring the streets around the Duomo di Salerno, and I walked past a bright yellow building with roman statues at the entrance.

There are certain things I like to see in each destination I travel to. One of these is a shopping mall. Now I know that may seem strange but viewing the local fashion, eateries and architecture is interesting to me. Never having visited Bulgaria before, I was curious to see what a mall here looked …
I saw the foundations for a stage being erected last week and a huge sign went up shortly there after. Everything is in Bulgarian of course, which I cannot decipher, but the dates showed as June 14-18. Last night I went to check things out at what I think is called the Kapana Fest in …
A visit to Porta Portese and I was in heaven. Wandering down the streets in Rome’s largest & best street market is eye candy for a shopper, especially a market lover. Here, every Sunday morning starting at 6am, you can find pretty much anything your heart desires. Clothing This is definitely the place to buy …
