Georgia: finding a place to sleep and choosing things to do.
Ananuri Fortress …continuing (and concluding) the Georgian post series I want to share our experience in finding an accommodation and choosing places to go and to do. […]
Georgia: getting around.
Almost nine months passed after our Georgian trip, several other beautiful and exceptional countries visited; however, Georgia stays one of my absolute favorites in my whole travelling history. When people ask me the “why” question, I can immediately think (and dive into the pleasant memories) about breathtaking intact nature, rich culture, over-delicious food and wine, fairness and hospitality of the [...]
Colmar: immensely beautiful
Very often, when you are looking through the photos of a place you want to visit, they appear a bit brighter than the place itself when you finally there. Photographers use filters and sophisticated means to make their works if not a piece of art but at least simply look better. I cannot argue, their works are catchy, but sometimes [...]
15 tips about Malta
Already during the trip we agreed that we loved Malta. It was a four-day trip with a group of friends and this island (more exactly, three islands if you count Gozo and Camino), fit perfect for our mission: drive all around, have fun, chill on the beach, eat, drink, no drama.

While Google maps didn’t work perfectly on Madeira, below is the map of our trip. I have marked the places we visited with the numbers and given [...]
Cuba. Part 5: About peculiarities and specialties
The last post in this series. Cuba was indeed amazing and this part is about some things that I found very special, sometimes awkward or fascinating… Signs for a casa Remember, when you are searching for a place to stay, you can easily spot them by the sign like the one below on the photo. The color of the sign [...]
Cuba. Part 4: Cuban cities and national parks
We had 11 days on Cuba and managed to see 10 cities and 2 national parks. For many, this intense trip could seem too hectic, but for us this rhythm is quite usual. We can’t spend more than 3-4 hours on the beach or stay in one city longer than 2 days. We are hungry for new places, new things [...]
