Jordan “Am I still on Earth?”
The land of Bedouins who look like Jack Sparrow, where you feel like on a different planet. Completely surprised me and exceeded my expectations.

Iceland – Aurora, Elves and the coldest cold.
Iceland is a northern island of ice & fire, hot & cold, extreme weather conditions. When I was planning a visit, I knew it will be cold, yet I couldn’t imagine this type of coldness… I grew up in a country where in some places in winter you can experience -20 Celsius, and I thought…

Dubai & Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa
Dubai seems like a perfect, modern city but there is one thing – the temperature outside is so high that you cannot just go for a walk. When I was visiting this place, there was 42 Celsius at 8:00 o’clock in the morning… I love warm weather but it was too much after one hour…

Bali, Java, Gili – Indonesian islands
If you travel from Europe to Indonesia, be prepared to take very long connected flights. I think I arrived to my final destination after 36 hours and was informed in a hotel that I booked a room for yesterday… I’m more careful with converting time zones since then 🤓 I arrived at night in Jakarta…

Morocco – my worst trip so far…
My trip to Morocco was not the best one and I left this country earlier than planned.

Crete island
This Greek island will always be the place reminding me of olive trees, colourful beaches, lush green gorges, juicy sweet tomatoes, oranges that taste like sun, and my herbal discovery Dittany.

Top scariest adventures
I am often asked about scary situations on a journey. I don’t know if it’s completely possible to avoid them if you explore the world on your own, but it is definitely possible to change your attitude and call them adventures. We love to hear about adventures and watch movies like Indiana Jones, but when…

How to bargain like a pro, or something like this…
How is your price negotiation skill? Mine is really bad, I cannot even contain myself when I see something beautiful, which means I break rule no 1 from every guidebook. Therefore I’ve learned to bargain in my own way as I can’t support the whole world and I don’t want anyone to take advantage of…

Healthy, delicious Georgian cuisine & wine
The words “vegan” or “vegetarian” are not popular in Georgia but you can find there a wide range of this type of dishes. It’s actually a bit funny that this Caucasus country doesn’t know how awesome it is in vegetarian cuisine. In one previous post I wrote that the food here is of high quality.…

Just scooting around… One of the best activities🛵
The first time we dared to rent a scooter with my beloved one was in Java Indonesia and we quickly realized that we should have done it long before. Of course, everyone is different and knows his capabilities best, but if you are drawn to it – you should give it a try. It’s so…

When it’s calm, everything becomes clear.” Buddha Traditional meaning of meditation is resting the mind, but today we can also hear from all around that it is also a connection with yourself, thinking, contemplating, dreaming, visualising, affirmating, having a moment for yourself, doing…

Have the best car rental experience.
Driving a car in some countries could be… let’s use the word – challenging 😉 Many times I was warned about driving in some foreign country that I was travelling to, because the road traffic regulations are not so respected as in Europe, but there are also some advantages. If you are not the best…

Beautiful places and things about Georgia.
Georgia country (not a state). Georgia is a country with beautiful nature, surrounded by the mountains (Caucasus in the north), with their own alphabet, communist history, probably the longest tradition in wine making and delicious cuisine. Almost everyone speak fluent Russian besides Georgian (English is not popular) and they are also amazing hosts. If you…

No, not this right! The other right ;-)
I have traveled half of the world even though my navigation skill is terrible. It means that we don’t have to be super skilled to travel on our own (without a tour guide). I often confuse directions and can’t read the map. But solo travel is a great practice, because if you have to, then…

Everyone wants to travel, until they learn what it takes…
Everyone loves the idea of vacation, but not everyone wants to really travel, leave a good job just to travel for some time, not sleep for 40 hours to get somewhere. Like everything, traveling has its pros and cons. Not everyone has to like and want to travel. The most important thing is to break…

Chernobyl is a place of the worst nuclear disaster in 1986 at the No. 4 nuclear reactor in the Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR.

Are you a hero? Heroine?
Social Media is full of shocking information about cruelty, aggression, etc., but posting them is not changing world for the better. Quite the opposite, it only builds the negative side.

What to Wear when Visiting a Muslim Country.
Muslim countries require a special clothing, some are more restrictive and some are less in terms of a dress code and behaviour. Even if the country or place is open (despite the religion), as a woman, it is worth taking e.g. a scarf to cover yourself to feel better in some situations. You can of…

Bubble Luxotel – sleeping in a bubble and looking at the stars. The most interesting hotels.
This is probably the best hotel I have stayed in or one of the best. Certainly the most interesting. It is located in the desert of Jordan, where the evening sky is strewn with so many stars that you cannot fall asleep out of excitement. Every “building” there is a bubble and you can feel…

The Dead Sea.
My fascination with the Dead Sea run high, so when I had the opportunity I jumped into the water, regardless of around 14 Celsius degrees outside. It was cold but it was worth it. That floating (not really swimming) has been on my “bucket list” for a long time. An amazing adventure for body and…

Why do you travel?
It is a question worth asking yourself, because thanks to the answer, you will get to the places you really like. I am often asked if I recommend going somewhere. “Where should I go? What’s the best destination?” It all depends on why you want to travel and what do you enjoy. I myself travel…

Hotels, guest houses, booking, Agoda – how to use it and choose the best stay.
I always use Booking and Agoda to find accommodation when traveling. I don’t know how people lived without it 😛 Yes, it happened more than once when I entered the hotel asking for a room, but it happens usually in emergency situations. I usually choose hotels, but the guest houses / hostels are also a…

The power of comparison.
Why is it said that traveling makes people openminded?One of the reasons is that you meet others, open yourself up to someone different, and stop judging. Because the difference is not bad, or better. It’s just different.Another reason (out of many) is that you get a “comparison” that leads to self-consciousness. This is one of…

My first time.
So it happened, I created a blog. For a long time, I was a bit reluctant to do this, but the number of characters on Social Media is limited. And also the use of SoMe, despite many advantages, can often be limiting. So, it will be colorful, positive, without judging. However, we will break stereotypes.…
