Category Archives: Travel tips

This part of blog is focused on sharing most useful travel experiences with you. I spent last ten years on travelling. There were months when was travelling so much that I could go around the world twice. I was spending more time at the airports and on the plane than at home. There were weeks when in my bedroom there was always an open suitcase: partially unpacked, partially re-packed. Crazy time. And I loved every minute of it.

I’m not saying that I know everything about travelling but there are some things that I wish I knew before I travelled. It may simply make travelling more enjoyable. So, feel free to read it through and use the tips that you found useful.

The Big News. Or Even Two.
