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.

It’s not ALL about whisky: Edinburgh, a weekend retreat

I normally skip this sort of activities: short stay over the weekend in a big city, but this time it was different.

It guarantees an access to the ... Read more

Why I had a great time in Lloret de Mar

Having fun in Lloret de Mar was somehow against the odds. First, the weather was not as warm as I expected. Although I don’t mind cold, I did mind in this case because of the clothes I took (summer like dresses and sandals). Second, my phone broke down. I know! First world problems!

It will take me a while to fully understand and define all results of this long-term travel, but this should not prevent further traveling. It is a funny feeling to think about the previous travel while going on another one but there is nothing I can do about it. ... Read more
