Category Archives: Travel

This part of my blog is focused on sharing all my past travels. I visited all described places and most of the photos were taken by me personally (if otherwise it is stated under the post). All information published comes from my travel experience, however, do not expect similar to TripAdvisor of Lonely Planet guide. Rather, my purpose was different. I wanted to draw your attention to the attitude towards travelling, to the way the travel is organized, and above all, how to make your travel inspiring and breathtaking experience. I would be most happy if my travel blog encouraged you to travel yourself.

So, enjoy reading all published posts and let me know whether you need more information about particular destinations.

Is it worthy to see palio at least once in a lifetime?

You may wonder whether it is worthy to visit certain places when festivals or cultural events are taking place. Well, there are some serious pros and cons but I am definitely convinced that some of the places are especially attractive when traditional feasts are on. I wasn’t a huge fan of massive events as I hate crowds until I participated in famous Italian palio. I remember my first palio as if it was yesterday. Now, if you ... Read more

What is the best place to ski? Val di Fassa!

The dream of every skier is the white sparkled hillside and no speed limits. The wind in your hair and sun shining straight into your eyes is something that many of us are waiting for the whole year. Val di Fassa is a place when you can have it all! The snow is almost always there PLUS there is something that Austria, France and Switzerland is missing: THE SUN! The majority of the hills in Italy is inclined to the south. It means ... Read more

4 Reasons Why I Hate Brussels

There are not many places that I really can’t stand and Brussels is one of them. This is a deep and painful aversion that started from the very first visit in this city. I think I’m not the only one as I know many people who share this deep dislike. I am also aware that there is a considerable group of enthusiasts of this city but this fact might be related to the taste of beer, which I don’t share. My short ... Read more

Blissful time under the lemon tree in Sorrento

When I’m writing this post it is snowing here and outside my window everything is white and peaceful. And it’s really hard to believe that there are places like Sorrento: full of sun, warm, noise and energy. No doubt Sorrento is one of the top holiday destinations in Italy. It gives you everything what traditional holiday is about: the sun, the sea and the exceptional traditional food. Yes, you can also pay a lot of ... Read more

Mantova the hometown of Rigoletto

While Mantova is not in top 10 most visited places in Italy I think it is worthy to spend there at least one afternoon. I would call it a typical Italian mid-size town. It has charming architecture and atmosphere of a friendly place. You should take a lazy walk around three main squares in the city center: Piazza dell’Erbe, Piazza del Broletto and Piazza Sordello. This city is a perfect place for all history, literature and ... Read more

Secrets of Swedish Lapland

Lapland is a truly unique place. For many reasons. For me my first visit in Lapland was totally overwhelming and since then I visit Lapland at least once a year.

A story that is known by all my friends too well (sorry guys, it looks like there are more than 200 people following this blog so let’s made it public. Besides, even if it was told hundred times, I still LIKE IT!). ... Read more

Washington DC and Cherry Blossom Festival

When I went to Washington for the first time I didn’t know what to expect. For many reasons the city was puzzling. Being a home for the government, embassies and all this official business it was so diverse than New York city and other American metropolis. Washington is really special: without skyscrapers and overwhelming noise it tries to convince you that the most important things in this country take place ... Read more

Burano, the most colorful island in Italy

Not many guidebooks encourage you to visit Burano- a small island near Venice. Usually, Venice with its fascinating story and remarkable monuments is in the spotlight of attention. In spite of this hegemony I would like to recommend a visit in a truly fascinating place called Burano. I am pretty sure that if you go there you will not regret it. Such a colorful spot is hardly find in Europe and it reminds South America rather than ... Read more

Rainy day in Bristol

You must be very lucky to see Bristol in the sun. I wasn’t. OK, let’s be fair and let’s say that ONE afternoon was SUNNY. The rest of my stay in Bristol was cloudy, rainy and foggy. Let’s not say a word about the stereotypes and let’s just say it was simply rainy. And it was not typical English weather. It might have happened elsewhere as well. I enjoyed my stay in Bristol very much. Despite the bad ... Read more
