Guest Post: Planning My Journey

Guest Post: Planning My Journey
Another week, another guest post. It looks like an epic accumulation! But here it is: how to prepare a journey that will change your life? Tough question but if you focused on the crucial things you will come much closer to the answer on how to do it. My guest post on Thinking Nomads blog is here. Writing this post after few months made me think how much I miss Ireland. It doesn’t look like I go there in the nearest future ... Read more

Guest Post: A Journey Of Discovery

Guest Post: A Journey Of Discovery
Courtesy of Jeff from EuroTravelogue my guest post about Lapland has been published. Jeff is a huge fan of river cruises in Europe and Scandinavian countries. His blog is full with stunning photos and great stories. I especially enjoyed the one about train ride in Norway. You might think I wrote about Lapland so many times it’s all the same but surprisingly: I prepare a new post from the scratch and it is never the same. I ... Read more

Let’s hit the road! #2

Let’s hit the road! #2
Some of the pictures shared above were taken without even stopping a car. Literally. Just having window open, driving about 40 km/h and…click, done, let’s go. This was pure madness! The number of breathtaking sites in this country is hard to believe. All regions I crossed were not only packed with breathtaking views but also an evidence the stories on the variety of landscapes were true! I think my favorite view would ... Read more

Let’s hit the road!

Let’s hit the road!
This is one of the most beautiful things about New Zealand: you could spend the whole life just driving around. I couldn’t believe at first that literally around every corner there was something beautiful and worth to stop, watch and picture. This is one of the reasons why driving takes so much time there! And what I absolutely love about it is the clever shoulders at every place with panorama view. So stopping and taking ... Read more

Most Beautiful Beaches of New Zealand #2

Most Beautiful Beaches of New Zealand #2
I think this gallery is very interesting. Perhaps it is due to the very untypical beach I shared at the end: the black one! Before I went to New Zealand I thought that black beaches are mainly in Iceland which is one of the reasons I have always wanted to go there. But here we are: what a surprise! In Kaikoura – a small town near Christchurch that is well known for whales, seals and dolphins’ watching – the black ... Read more

Most Beautiful Beaches of New Zealand #1

Most Beautiful Beaches of New Zealand #1
Saying that New Zealand has amazingly beautiful beaches is trivial but SO true! Quite obviously island has a long coastline and many beaches along it. What is so special about beaches in New Zealand? Variety! You find pretty much everything here: rocky beaches, sandy ones, beaches full of wild animals and also cliffs which means no beach at all. I thought that one gallery with most beautiful beaches of New Zealand will do the trick ... Read more

Milford Sound Is A Must!

Milford Sound Is A Must!
My journey around the South Island was mainly very off the beaten track. I rarely met people and enjoyed peaceful days very much. But from the moment I read about Milford Sound and saw few pictures I knew I want to go there. Funny thing: picture on the cover of my guidebook was taken in Milford and I discovered it the moment I saw it! Milford Sound is a very touristic place and I think that even a long way you need to drive is ... Read more

Farewell Spit

Farewell Spit
The Golden Bay is rich in exotic landscape: wild and rocky shore, paradise like beaches, green hills, dolomite rocks, bush, fields and vineyards. You find it all in the area of Nelson and Abel Tasman National Park. One of the valleys here was a filming location of Fellowship of the ring. Do you remember the scene when Frodo and Sam depart from the Shire? That’s the very one shot here! Takaka Hill was also a background to the ... Read more
