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.

My 15 Reasons Why I Do Jogging

My 15 Reasons Why I Do Jogging
I started jogging few years ago and my direct motivation was to prepare myself to a long walk in Lapland. Before I went to Lapland with a full size backpack I knew I need to do something for two reasons: first, to not get abandoned along the track, and second, to make the time spent in the wild enjoyable. Somehow pain related to untrained muscles was enough to convince me about the necessity to do jogging. So this was MY reason why ... Read more

Can’t keep up? 4 Ways To Simplify Travel Plans
You are RIGHT! I have started organizing a new trip: this May I will go to the Aran Island. There are many reasons why I picked up this particular location, one of which is the journey of Nicolas Bouvier to this island in the early 80s. I am thrilled to visit- for the first time- the place where Nicolas Bouvier was writing one of his books titled: Journal d’Aran et d’autres lieux. As I decided to go there few months ago ...

Are The German Autobahns Best in Europe?

Are The German Autobahns Best in Europe?
The German system of highways is one of the best thing this country has to offer to the tourists. Seriously! Travelling across Germany by car is really pleasant. The highways are excellent in terms of its density, interchanges and overhead direction signs, but also in terms of good driving conditions in the winter season. What really drives me crazy is the growing number of traffic jams, but this is true for all well developed ... Read more

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

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

Canon, camera, lenses, etc.

Canon, camera, lenses, etc.
Travel lasts more than the travel itself. The planning before and memories after the journey extend it so you get the impression of being constantly on the move. One of the most pleasant ways to stretch the journey is watching the pictures or movies taken during the trip. For last couple of years I have been improving my photographic skills so I could share it with friends after return home and I could keep the journey alive. I ... Read more

So, if you read this post you have already known my biggest dream: the trip around the world.

Some others say to themselves that even it was their dream they are too old, too lazy or too busy to do it. ... Read more

Everything starts with an idea

Everything starts with an idea
Everything starts with an idea. This is how my journey has started and this is how this blog has been created. I had been studying mobility, migration and all kinds of movement for years and suddenly I realized how little I knew. I mean, I got familiar with some clever theories that attempt to explain you why, how and when, but honestly I had the impression that I was missing the point. My idea is pretty straightforward: using my ... Read more
